Pads, sequencing, and much more

The Novation Launchpad Pro MK3 is a pad-based grid controller with an integrated sequencer, velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads, and dedicated hardware MIDI connectivity – aimed at producers and live performers who want to shape and sequence their tracks, not just trigger them. The 64 large RGB pads allow for expressive melodic and rhythmic playing, while 42 backlit tactile-click buttons give direct access to mixer, transport, and arrangement controls. Combined with deep Ableton Live and Logic Pro integration, a standalone sequencer, and Custom Mode support for any MIDI-compatible software or hardware, the Pro MK3 functions as a flexible hub for both studio production and live performance.

Control external hardware with the integrated sequencer

One of the defining features of the Launchpad Pro MK3 is its built-in four-track, 32-step sequencer with eight-note polyphony per track, which makes it possible to create and develop patterns directly on the device without a computer. Sequences play through to the end before switching, with the next pattern coming in exactly on the beat – transitions stay rhythmically consistent and sit neatly within the groove. Pattern chaining allows sequences to be linked and assigned to scenes, building complete song structures from the grid. Probability, Mutation, Sync Rate, and Play Order give further options for introducing variation and keeping sequences evolving. External hardware connects via MIDI In, Out, and Out 2/Thru on 3.5mm TRS connectors – three DIN adapters are included – making the Pro MK3 a capable control centre for hybrid software and hardware rigs.

Hands-on, responsive control

Scale mode maps the pads to a selected musical key, keeping melodic playing harmonically consistent without having to think about tonal relationships – useful for sketching ideas quickly or performing live without hitting wrong notes. Chord mode builds harmonies from single pad presses, while Drum mode provides a direct percussive input layout for rhythm programming. Capture MIDI recovers spontaneous ideas after the fact and converts them instantly into clips, without requiring recording to have been active beforehand. Custom Modes allow the full 8×8 grid to be reconfigured for any MIDI-compatible software or hardware via the Novation Components editor – layouts are stored as one of eight onboard modes and persist when the computer is disconnected, so the Pro MK3 can control an all-hardware rig independently.

About Novation

The English company Novation has been producing affordable popular synthesizers as well as MIDI controllers and keyboards since its foundation in 1992. It was later acquired by the well-known British audio interface manufacturer Focusrite, but the brand still exists within the parent company. The outstanding design, high-quality workmanship and excellent price-performance ratio of the Novation Launchpads have continued to win them many new users. Novation synthesizers include the 8-voice Polyphone Peak, the analogue mono synthesizer Bass Station II, the MiniNova and the paraphonic analogue synthesizer Circuit Mono Station.

Customisable and ready for any DAW

The Launchpad Pro MK3 integrates most extensively with Ableton Live – launching clips and scenes, accessing mixer and transport controls, quantising, duplicating, and doubling without touching a mouse – and offers dedicated Live Loops and project navigation for Logic Pro. Beyond these, Custom Modes and freely assignable MIDI mappings make it equally at home with any other MIDI-compatible software or hardware, with mixer and transport control available across all environments. The included software bundle covers the essentials for getting started: Ableton Live Lite and Cubase LE for recording and arrangement, Klevgrand plugins for mixing and effects, XLN Audio and AAS instruments, and Melodics finger drumming lessons. The Pro MK3 is USB bus powered for standard use; a USB power supply is included for standalone sequencer operation away from a computer.
