Simply plug into Mac, Windows or iOS and start performing. You can even combine multiple units for some serious modular mayhem! Trigger clips, play drum racks, and control your mixer, effects and instruments all at the same time. Eight rugged 60mm faders offer high-precision control over your levels, while 16 multi-colour pads offer immediate track focus and mixer control.Įxperience an unprecedented level of freedom when playing live, by combining with a Launchpad to control Abletons’s session view. They also have multicoloured LEDs that illuminate to distinguish between sends, EQs or any other device. The 24 knobs are arranged in three rows, which align perfectly with Ableton Live’s mixer. Spend less time peering at your screen by using hands-on controls that integrate seamlessly with Ableton Live. Crafting the perfect mix has never been easier! When combined with Launchpad’s intuitive 64-button grid, Launch Control XL provides extraordinary simultaneous control over Ableton Live’s session view, mixer, effects and instruments. It helps you focus more on your music and less on your laptop, by providing 16 buttons, 24 knobs and eight faders, all of which integrate seamlessly with Live to give you total hands-on control. Simply hold down the User or Factory button and press the relevant number button in the row.Launch Control XL is the ultimate controller for Ableton Live. Furthermore, they can be used to switch between the eight factory and user mode available. They automatically control the on/off switches of the eight selected tracks but can also be used as mute, solo and record arm buttons as well. The bottom row of buttons on the XL also highlights how Novation have cleverly saved space without taking away hands-on control from the user. All these various functions of being able to control the parameters of any device in any track in your set is very cool indeed. To select a track to control, the Track Focus buttons allow you to shift focus between each of the eight tracks in your current selection. You can scroll through the devices on each track by holding down the device button and pressing the Track Select arrows. They can, however, also be used to control the first eight parameters of a device on a particular track by pressing the Device button to the top right of the eighth fader. The bottom row of encoders (or pots as Novation calls them) automatically act as pan controls. HINT: You can see what Sends and Tracks the XL currently controls through the status bar in Ableton. A minor gripe could be that the encoders are slightly too close together, but this may be considered unfair, given the fact there are 24 of them on such a compact interface. Despite its light weight, the controls on the XL feel quite robust with the rugged faders and encoders offering sturdy tactile control over your DAW.

88 pounds it is extremely portable and fits snuggly in the sleeve I had originally bought for the Launchpad. The first thing you will notice about the Launch Control XL is the weight. Had I finally found the ideal portable Live setup or would the XL's real life performance let it down? Read on to find out. Enter the XL, with its portability and sufficient supply of faders and rotary controls to go alongside the 8x8 clip launch buttons of the Launchpad. Ever since I got my Launchpad (over three years ago now), I had shopped around for a controller to complement it but have always being left slightly disappointed. Novation's Launch Control XL is a controller I have wanted to see for a long time.
