Flexible control for any setup

Launch Control XL 3 is designed to adapt to a wide range of music-making environments. It comes pre-mapped for major DAWs, letting you control volume, pan, sends, and effects instantly. If you prefer custom workflows, Novation’s Components software allows you to assign faders, encoders, and buttons to any function across your software or hardware.

With 15 user-defined templates available, you can switch between different setups quickly. This is perfect for producers managing multiple projects, live performers juggling different sets, or musicians controlling external gear alongside their DAW.

Precision mixing and expressive control

Launch Control XL 3’s hardware is built for detailed sound shaping. The eight 60mm faders provide smooth, accurate control over levels, ideal for mixing tracks in a DAW or adjusting synth parameters. Their longer travel allows for more precise changes, making it easier to dial in the perfect mix.

The 24 endless encoders give you complete flexibility, working as pan controls, send adjustments, or custom parameter dials. Each encoder features an RGB LED ring, which brightens or dims to indicate values at a glance. This means you can stay focused on your mix or performance without constantly looking at your computer screen.

Real-time feedback with OLED display

The crisp OLED display is one of the standout features of Launch Control XL 3. It provides real-time feedback on parameter changes, showing exactly what each fader or encoder is controlling. This reduces guesswork and makes it easier to fine-tune settings with confidence.

During live performances, the display helps you stay in control, ensuring smooth transitions between tracks and effects. In the studio, it streamlines the workflow by keeping all critical information visible without switching between screens.

Standalone MIDI control for hardware

Launch Control XL 3 goes beyond software by offering full MIDI connectivity. With 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru ports, it can connect directly to hardware synths, drum machines, and MIDI-enabled effects processors.

For those using a hybrid setup, the controller can simultaneously manage DAW parameters while sending MIDI messages to external gear. This makes it a powerful tool for producers who blend software and hardware in their workflow. The USB-C power supply ensures compatibility with modern setups, while the Out2/Thru port allows flexible routing options for more complex MIDI configurations.

Dedicated transport and performance controls

Launch Control XL 3 is designed to keep your hands off the mouse and keyboard. Dedicated transport buttons let you play, stop, and record directly from the controller, speeding up your workflow. The 16 assignable buttons can be used to solo, mute, and arm tracks on the fly or trigger MIDI commands and effects.

These performance-focused controls make it a great choice for live musicians who need quick access to essential functions without navigating software menus.

Includes professional music software

Launch Control XL 3 comes with a powerful suite of software to get you started. Ableton Live 12 Lite offers an intuitive platform for recording, producing, and performing. The included plugins from Klevgrand, Baby Audio, and Output provide additional creative tools, from drum processing to rhythmic effects.

Quick and easy setup

Setting up Launch Control XL 3 is simple, thanks to Novation’s Easy Start tool. This online guide helps with installation, driver setup, and software activation, so you can start making music without delays. For added peace of mind, Novation provides a three-year warranty, covering repairs or replacements in case of manufacturing faults.
