Novation Launch Control XL 3 Control Surface

Get hands-on control for your entire workflow. The latest version of Launch Control XL gives you access to mixing and transport controls for all major DAWs, right out of the box. With the included Components product hub, you can easily add up to 15 user-defined templates or create custom mappings for plugins and external hardware.

Take control of any setup
Go deep with a single device, or take control over your entire production, mixdown, or performance. With extensive DAW integration built in and intuitive Custom Modes for everything else, Launch Control XL 3 is a creative controller that suits your needs.

Powerful integration with all major DAWs
Launch Control XL 3 features deep integration with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and more.

Think outside the box
Launch Control XL 3 is designed to work with or without a computer connected: simply power via USB-C, then connect directly to your hardware instruments and effects via 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru ports. For hybrid setups, combine your external gear, DAW controls, and essential plugin parameters using the onboard custom templates.

Streamline your workflow
Use Novation Components to create and customise MIDI mappings and store a total of 15 user-defined Custom Modes. Launch Control XL 3 is the ideal companion for your MIDI-enabled hardware, providing hands-on control for mixer setups and synth parameters and even unlocking hidden, menu-based features.

Premium, hardware feel
Redesigned from the ground up, the latest Launch Control XL now features eight precise faders, 24 endless rotary encoders, and 16 customisable buttons, alongside dedicated transport controls. A crisp, new OLED display shows you vital, real-time information, right where you need it.

Includes everything you need to create
Launch Control XL 3 includes a collection of studio-grade software to help you get started. Ableton Live 12 Lite gives you the ability to record and perform with up to eight tracks of MIDI or audio, as well as a suite of instruments, effects, and creative tools. You also get access to a selection of additional plugins from Klevgrand, Baby Audio, and Output.
