Launchpad X is the essential 64-pad MIDI grid controller for Ableton Live. It gives you everything you need to make music. Launch, play and perform your sounds and build your tracks using the large, super-sensitive RGB pads, dynamic note and scale modes, and mixer controls.

The essential Live controller 
Everything about making tracks in Ableton Live is made easier with Launchpad X’s quick, hands-on clip and scene launching and the most playable grid to date. Play your instruments and devices expressively with the 64 velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads, then never lose an idea with one-press Capture MIDI control. Launchpad X belongs on the desk of every Ableton Live music maker.

Express yourself
Launchpad X gives you everything you need right at your fingertips so you can spend less time clicking a mouse and more time making music. Never worry about being out of key—Dynamic Note and Scale modes let you easily play perfectly in-key basslines, melodies, chords and leads. Velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch let you play your instruments dynamically and expressively. Step back from the screen, get hands-on and dive into your tracks.

Make it yours
Go deeper and get Launchpad X working the way you want. Use Components to customize MIDI mappings, and control almost anything; four custom modes mean you can design how this essential grid controller works for you—you’re only limited by your imagination.

Take control of your performance
Essential performance controls are a single button-press away: stop, solo, mute, record arm and set your levels, pans and sends. Using Launchpad X is a simple as it gets, no drivers to install, just plug and perform.
