Description
The new generation of our classic 64-pad Ableton Live controller boasts an even slimmer design than the last, and adds a wealth of new features, including velocity and pressure sensitivity, Note and Scale Modes, Capture MIDI, USB-C connectivity and more. The most affordable solution for recording expressive beats, melodies and ideas in Ableton Live without touching your mouse, Launchpad X is available to order now, so don’t hang around – get your three-month scheduled opening order in now to avoid disappointment. Launchpad X is the must-have Ableton controller for performers and producers who need quick access to clip and scene launching, and essential performance controls. Representing a big step forward, large velocity and pressure sensitive pads make it easy to sell the benefits of upgrading to X to your huge base of existing Launchpad S and [MK2] users. Made to perform Launchpad X offers more hands-on control than ever, so you can spend more time working on Launchpad and less with your mouse. 64 RGB velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads make for our most expressive grid yet, while Drum and Note Modes enable automatic switching between percussive and melodic instrument control, and the dedicated Record button lets you capture your performances effortlessly. Four Custom Modes also facilitate configuration of Launchpad X (using the free Components application) for the control of anything MIDI, making it a versatile controller hub for your entire studio. Never lose an idea Never hit a wrong note or lose a great idea again! Launchpad X’s new Scale Mode filters out all notes not in your chosen key, while pressing the Capture MIDI button retrospectively records every note recently played in Ableton Live when not in Record mode, allowing you to step away from the computer and focus on your performance. Total integration You perform better when you’re not looking at the screen or touching the mouse, and Launchpad X integrates seamlessly with Ableton Live.
