Introducing, the Novation Launchpad X Grid Controller, designed to be a comprehensive solution for quick music production in Ableton Live.

The Novation Launchpad X is an altogether a fresh product, both in terms of functions and aesthetics. When you put them together, you get a MIDI Pad Controller that is optimised for maximum live performance.

Playing precise musical phrases with subtle expressiveness is now possible with velocity-sensitive pads and the note/scale models. The addition of a USB-C connection to this pad controller ensures lightning-fast transfer rates.

The Launchpad X is intuitively designed to be easy-to-navigate and serve as an extension of your DAW software. It can work with any DAW; however, where this controller really shines is when integrating with Ableton Live. Switch between drum and notes mode quickly so you can program any percussion or melodic content with speed. The pad also features a collection of performance controls that allow you to tweak sounds as your making them. The capture MIDI records notes that you have pressed recently, so you can never miss an idea. The scale mode means that you will always stay in key.

The Launchpad X MIDI Grid Controller also comes with mixer controls, so you can use this as a hands-on mixing tool. This also comes with a two-month Splice subscription so you can download some quality sounds to use in your compositions. You also get a copy of Ableton Live Lite to get you going, and this also qualifies you to a cheaper upgrade to Ableton Standard or Suite.
