Review: Really nice device - To start with, I do not use only Ableton, so to me, the challenge is to have devices that can work with different DAW. This one just blew me away; it is thin, well built; the buttons are rocking a lot, but nothing too bad; you won't find the same firmness of an MPC pad, so if you like that style and feel, you may not find the same in the launchpad mini. Responsiveness of the pads is great, color is bright and can be reduced/increased, based on your preferences. As far as functionalities, it works with Ableton of course; and it has 3 configurable modes, which is the best part of the device. You can assign a drumpad , a scale, a full keyboard or sliders and faders to the 64 pads; I found the faders being just a gimmick, so I am not using the buttons in that way. But if you think that you can set up 64 buttons as CC messages or program controls, this is huge; and imagine you have 3 "pages" to save those settings, so you have 64x3 buttons available to customize macros from your favorite DAW. I set it up with Cubase and Studio one, and used all 3 modes as custom, since I don't care to have neither 4x16 drumpads, nor a 4 octave keyboard; so I set one custom mode for each DAW, while the third mode is common to both (like mute, solo, arm track controls and so on.), and it works great. It is very small and fits great on my desk, with my other gear; I was skeptic since I knew that the launchpad is fundamentally a midi controller for Ableton live; but it works with anything, and you can really customize it as you see fit, with the Novation editor, and save profiles. Best 100 dollars ever spent Review: High quality, reasonable price, great sound and performance playback. - Great quality for the price! I purchased this controller in Sept. of 2025 and it's been a game changer for me. This sampler allows for seamless use in Ableton and Virtual DJ. I have used it in live gigs and now I've started producing my own loops and samples for future sets. Highly recommended for both DJ's and producers. Zero MIDI mapping headaches and the sound quality is excellent. Lightweight too, so I can easily travel with this on gigs. ## Features - Seamless performances made easy - 64 vibrant RGB pads give you a perfect reflection of your Ableton Live session, making it easier than ever to see your clips.

I have Ableton but would be nice to use for basic functions on logic too.** A: It can be programmed to emmitt any CC, PC and MIDI music note. The Mini lacks velocity control so this is littetally a macro board! Spend the extra for Launchpad x **Q: Looking to buy for my 15 yo. can you tell what computer system i need that will support it. do i need anything else other than a pc/ or apple.** A: Works with either PC or Apple. Very fun device. Your kid will love it. **Q: You mention an app “midi translator pro” - does your app make your tool work like stream deck?** A: Hi there, If you're looking to send computer keyboard commands from the pasd of the Launchpad Mini MK3 you can make use of the latest firmware version which adds the ability to send keyboard commands from pads in a Custom Mode. Best regards, Tom Harrington // Novation Technical Support Engineer **Q: Is it Compatible with an hp laptop?** A: Yes, the launchpad pro is a class-compliant device. As long as your laptop is running Windows and is capable of running most modern Digital Audio Workstations then the Launchpad Pro will be able to run on your system.
