The Launchpad Mini mk3 carries on Novation's tradition of creating compact controllers for Ableton Live in extraordinary fashion. Since the first mini version, this controller has brought all of the best qualities of the full-sized Launchpad to a more portable and affordable format. Before we get to the fancy bells and whistles, you have to appreciate the basic functionality of this controller.
The Launchpad Mini mk3's matrix of 64 RGB-backlit pads, the surface reflects Live's grid display wonderfully, laying your tracks, clips, and scenes at your fingertips. Other basic functions include using the columns as faders and additional controllers, giving you full command over Live's mixer. And the Launchpad Mini mk3 introduces one additional great feature: a 4-way button that lets you assign the bottom row to Stop, Mute, or Solo control for each track.
As powerful as the Launchpad Mini mk3 is as a control surface and performance tool, it's also an amazing instrument controller. That's because the Launchpad Mini mk3 borrows some of the most popular features from the flagship Launchpad Pro.
