Novation Launch Control 3 Control Surface

Add intuitive, hands-on control to your DAW, plug-ins, and hardware with 16 endless rotary encoders, eight assignable buttons, and a crisp OLED display that keeps essential information clearly visible. The Novation Launch Control 3 is compact, powerful, and flexible enough for any studio or stage setup with USB-C; 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru; and easily configurable Custom Modes via Novation Components.

HANDS-ON CONTROL FOR STUDIO AND STAGE

Add tactile control to any software, hardware, or hybrid workflow. The compact, portable Launch Control 3 works seamlessly with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and more — with Mackie HUI support for everything else. It’s easy to map custom controls to all your plug-ins and MIDI-enabled hardware too. Go deep with a single device or get high-level control over your entire setup; Launch Control 3’s tight, intuitive DAW integration and flexible Custom Modes make it a compact-yet-powerful addition to any setup.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

Launch Control 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 plug-in parameters with Custom Modes. Use Novation Components to create and customize MIDI mappings and store a total of seven user-defined Custom Modes. Launch Control 3 is the ideal companion for your MIDI-enabled hardware, providing extra hands-on control for synths and effects units — even unlocking hidden, menu-based features. Launch Control 3 features 16 smooth endless rotary encoders and eight customizable buttons in a compact, robust chassis. The crisp OLED display shows you real-time information, right where you need it.
