Novation Launchpad Controller - Limited Edition White White

The compact controller for electronic music makers who want the most interactive Ableton Live experience.




The limited edition white Novation Launchpad
Control Surface communicates bi-directionally with Ableton Live software
to give you real-time session feedback. Now you really can Play Live.
Launchpad ships with a dedicated 'Launchpad edition' of Ableton Live 8,
but can control almost any other music software using Novation's
award-winning Automap control software.

Launchpad was jointly
designed by Novation and Ableton to bring the features of Live to modern
musician's fingertips. The 8x8 grid of backlit buttons addresses a
multitude of functions with the help of mode selectors that transport
you around the Live interface.

Flip from launching clips to
tweaking mixer settings in a stroke. Launch your song into a heavy
buildup, then switch to a synth or a drum machine for an impromptu solo
at the touch of a button. It's all possible on Novation Launchpad, and
all without touching the mouse or keyboard!

Novation Launchpad is
bus-powered from a single USB connection, and has a 10" square desktop
footprint. Rubber feet ensure Launchpad stays secure on the surface on
which it's placed, and an optional padded neoprene travel sleeve is
available. It ships with a USB cable, plus a DVD ROM with Mac and PC
installers for a special 'Launchpad Version' of Ableton Live 8, as well
as 1GB of sample content from Loopmasters and Mike The Drummer. It also
comes Automap enabled.

Automap Control
A
Novation Launchpad can also control other DAWs and plug-ins using
Novation's Automap control software. Automap can assign controls to
software parameters on VST/AU/RTAS/TDM plug-ins by simply clicking on
them, and touching a controller!

• Automap-enabled – For instant, intelligent control over VST/AU/RTAS/TDM plug-ins and all MIDI compatible standalone software applications.

• See what you're triggering –
Automap
provides a customizable heads-up transparent display across your
computer screen. Ideal for seeing at a glance samples that you're about
to trigger.

• Unleash the power of QWERTY keyboard shortcuts
– Automap PRO, an optional upgrade available to purchase online, lets
you assign almost any computer keyboard shortcut, and combinations
thereof, to Launchpads buttons.

• Old-school MIDI control
– Utilising Automap, Launchpad can operate as a standard MIDI
controller, creating custom MIDI maps with 72 of its buttons
transmitting either CC or MIDI note data.

• Flexible trigger platform for Max MSP and Reaktor programmers
– Programmers can utilize variable brightness and multicolor LED states
to their full advantage when designing new and innovative tools in Max
MSP and Reaktor.

Launchpad and Max for Live
Max
is a visual programming environment which allows you to custom build
instruments and effects. Ableton announced 'Max for Live' when they
launched Live 8. This means that Max and Ableton are now integrated, so
you can build your own instruments (or tweak other people's) within
Live.

Launchpad can be used to control these instruments. For
example, parameters on Max for Live's step sequencer can be triggered
using Launchpad's buttons. Launchpad gives you a huge amount of visual
feedback. Multiple colors and brightnesses across different buttons
display visual information about whether the note is on, the velocity,
note length, pitch, and whatever else you want to see!

Novation
have created a Max for Live step sequencer patch utilizing Launchpad's
multicolor and brightness variations, available to download from:

Launchpads, or have one Launchpad dedicated to mixer mode, and the other
to launching clips.
