Novation Launch Control 3

Total control of your DAW

Launch Control 3 connects deeply with major DAWs, giving you immediate, tactile access to your mix. Control track levels, pans, sends, solo, arm, and mute functions directly from the hardware. The eight assignable buttons make it easy to switch focus between tracks and manage sessions without breaking your flow.

Integration with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Bitwig, and others keeps your workflow smooth and consistent. With Mackie HUI support included, you can also configure it for many other recording platforms. It is a practical way to stay focused on creativity instead of menus and mouse clicks.

Flexible hardware connectivity

Thanks to 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru connections, Launch Control 3 fits neatly into hardware-based and hybrid setups. You can power it via USB-C and connect directly to external instruments and effects, giving you reliable hands-on control beyond your computer.

Comprehensive MIDI filtering and routing options make it simple to tailor signal flow to your needs. Use it to control synths, drum machines, or outboard processors, and manage multiple devices from one compact surface. It is a straightforward way to expand your setup without adding unnecessary complexity.

Customise your workflow

With Novation Components, you can assign MIDI parameters to encoders and buttons, then store up to seven Custom Modes inside the unit. This means you can create dedicated layouts for different projects, instruments, or performance tasks and switch between them quickly.

The 16 endless encoders are built for detailed control, each with adjustable acceleration curves to match your preference. RGB status indicators provide instant visual feedback, helping you stay organised during busy sessions. It is a flexible system that adapts to how you like to work.

Clear feedback and creative extras

The integrated OLED display keeps key information visible at all times. As you adjust a parameter, the screen updates in real time, positioned exactly where you need it. This reduces guesswork and helps you stay focused on the task in hand.

Launch Control 3 also includes Ableton Live 12 Lite and Cubase LE, giving you solid foundations for recording, editing, and mixing. Additional plugins from Klevgrand, Baby Audio, and Output expand your sound design options with transient shaping, saturation, and rhythmic effects. Setup is simple with Novation’s Easy Start tool, and a three-year warranty provides added peace of mind.
