A true reference for Ableton Live, the Launchpad X continues the idea of a simple, reliable, and immediately musical controller. Positioned at the center of the Launchpad family, it combines the compactness of a portable model with playing feel worthy of higher-end controllers, thanks to its more expressive pads and a streamlined interface.
Whether you are a beatmaker, live performer, or educator, the Launchpad X streamlines your workflow. It allows you to sketch ideas, trigger arrangements, program drums, layer harmonic parts, and improvise-all while keeping your eyes on the music rather than the screen.
Expressive Pads: the 64 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads offer a natural response for finger drumming, nuanced basslines, or dynamic leads. Their RGB backlighting reflects your clips and scenes, making navigation intuitive on the grid.
Dynamic Note & Scale Modes: choose a scale and key, and the grid instantly adapts to offer only relevant notes. Ideal for quick composition, testing chord progressions, and staying creative without fear of mistakes.
Ableton Live Workflow: launch, record, mute, or solo with a single gesture. With the "MIDI Capture" feature, you never lose an idea played on the grid, even without prior track arming.
Customization and Portability: four user modes to map your favorite controls (mixing, effects, instruments), USB-C port for simple connection, and bus-powered USB for traveling light, whether in the home studio or on stage.
