Launchpad X is the essential 64-pad MIDI grid controller for Ableton Live. It gives you everything you need to make music. Launch, play and perform your sounds and build your tracks using the large, super-sensitive RGB pads and mixer controls.

The essential Live controller

Everything about making tracks in Ableton Live is made easier with Launchpad X's quick, hands-on clip and scene launching and Launchpad's most playable grid to date. Play your instruments and devices expressively with the 64 velocity and pressure sensitive RGB pads, then never lose an idea with one-press Capture MIDI control. Launchpad X belongs on the desk of every Ableton Live music maker.

Express yourself

Launchpad X gives you everything you need right at your fingertips so you can spend less time clicking a mouse and more time making and performing music. Never worry about being out of tune – Dynamic Note and Scale modes let you effortlessly play perfectly in-key basslines, melodies, chords and leads. Step back from the mouse, get hands on and dive into your tracks.

Launchpad X & Live Loops in Logic Pro X

Live Loops brings cell-based looping playback and performance to Logic Pro X for the first time. With Launchpad X as your Live Loops controller, use cells to sketch out arrangement ideas, fast, and record your performances. Setup is automatic: just select your Launchpad from Logic's Control Surface Setup, then rotate the device 90 degrees to display the Live Loops grid. (Logic Pro X 10.5 is required.)
