The black Launch Control XL from Novation is a portable controller for Ableton Live. The sixteen buttons, twenty-four knobs, and eight faders all integrate seamlessly with Live for total hands-on control. The knobs are arranged in three rows, aligning perfectly with Ableton Live's mixer, while their multicolored LEDs help distinguish between sends, EQs or any other device. Eight 60mm faders offer precise control over levels, while the sixteen multicolor buttons offer immediate track focus and mixer control.

Customize the assignments of the controls to any parameters within Ableton including assigning custom colors, and then effortlessly switch between these mappings and Live's built-in functionality. Multiple units can be combined. Fully USB bus powered, simply plug the controller into a Mac or Windows computer or an iOS device and start performing. It's also possible to control all MIDI-compatible iOS music software via an optional Apple Camera Connection Kit. Additionally, the controller is now HUI enabled. Simply plug into Logic, Cubase, or Pro Tools and start controlling.
