Novation Launchpad X MIDI Ελεγκτής

64-Pad MIDI Grid Controller for Ableton Live

Novation Launchpad X is a 64-pad MIDI grid controller for Ableton Live and Logic Pro, replacing mouse-driven workflows with hands-on clip launching, instrument playing and mixer control. Four operating modes and 16 function buttons fit into a compact 241 × 241 mm square frame powered entirely via USB-C. Using Dynamic Note and Scale modes, the grid can be limited to a chosen key, so basslines and melodies remain in tune no matter your experience.

Polyphonic Aftertouch and Fader Velocity

What elevates this controller above entry-level pad grids is polyphonic aftertouch — each pad sends independent pressure data, enabling per-note modulation of filter cutoffs, reverb mixes or any mapped parameter. Mixer mode translates softer pad hits into slower parameter changes for smooth level sweeps, avoiding stepped jumps.

RGB Pad Grid for Clips, Drums and Melodies

An 8 × 8 matrix handles Session View clips, drum patterns and melodic lines with RGB backlighting mirroring DAW colours for at-a-glance status.

• Pads: 64 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads — backlighting reflects clip status, scale layouts and drum mappings
• Tactile navigation is enhanced by eight pads featuring raised bumps, so your position can be found by touch even during dark-stage performances.
• Aftertouch Response: Polyphonic — control synth parameters individually per note instead of one global pressure message

USB-C Connectivity and Included Software

A single cable delivers both MIDI data and power — class-compliant on Mac and Windows with no driver installation required.

• Output: USB-C — direct connection to laptop or USB hub
• Bus-powered design means no external adapter clutters your desk
• Software Bundle: Ableton Live Lite, AAS Session Bundle, XLN Audio Addictive Keys, Klevgrand R0Verb and DAW Cassette

Custom Modes and Compact Form Factor

Novation Components software lets you build personalised MIDI layouts with custom CC assignments, colours and control zones, then store them directly on the controller for instant recall.

• Operating Modes: Session, Mixer, Note, Custom — cover clip launching, mixing, melodic playing and user-defined mappings
• Custom Slots — eight configurations available with firmware 2.0, enough for multiple sets or instrument setups
• Dimensions: 241 × 241 × 17.5 mm — compact square form factor sits alongside a laptop or audio interface
