Customer reviews about Novation Launchpad Pro MK3

It's ok when it works

Shinyuu Wolfy 22.08.2021

Update: I've now updated the quality rating as my first Launchpad had an issues with pads self-triggering after a month of use and my replacement has noticeable pads discoloration. It's still a great and compact device, when it works.

It's the largest of the launchpads, even though it's still smaller than e.g. Ableton Push. The pads are nicely responsive and the pressure curve immediately makes sense.

It seems like a 8x8 grid at first, but as you work more with it you start to appreciate the layout and the features. I got to the point where I haven't touched my keyboard at all because I could program both drums and synths on pads alone.

Novation seems to prioritize the Ableton Live crowd and as such the controller has lots of great features specifically tailored for Live. Nevertheless, it's a joy to hook it up to an iPad (and avail of the built-in 4-channel sequencer). It also works really good with Bitwig.

Great controller!

tretjakoffff 20.11.2021

I bought it as a universal controller. It integrates perfectly with Ableton Live, but requires constant reference to the manual. I also plan to use it as a sequencer for hardware synths.
It is made of high quality, the surface does not get dirty.
I recommend it!

This device really pushed me to rethink my "normal" ways - super creative kick. And the lights are awesome #nerd ;)

Remarkable gadget

Cable-snipper 24.04.2021

This really is a remarkable gadget.
I bought it as a controller for Ableton Live, which it does very well.
I have now 'programmed' two of the eight Custom Modes: one to control my tcElectronics Plethora X5; the other to control my copy of the Transcribe! software.
The 'programming' of the Custom Modes is via Novation Components software and is simple and intuitive.
And I have yet to play with the Synthesiser mode.
The touch-sensitive pads are a joy to use, and who can resist coloured lights?

Cool controller, great pads

kammo 10.10.2022

I received it a few days ago, so far I am very satisfied, there is a lot to learn, learning from the manual is a must.

Great implementation with Logic Pro and works well in BitWig Studio with associated scripts.

All in all, I'm satisfied, it would be nice if Novation adds a “sleep mode” in the future firmware.

Great sketchpad and connector for other gear

prosaic 18.06.2025

wonderful piece of tech for managing your DAW quick and easy

chord/note modes let you sketch out midi pretty quick without much hassle

surprisingly portable alternative to allow for 64 key chromatic sampling with a device like the ep133ko

Lo

The best ableton controller

Luke ok 11.04.2022

I like this even more than Push 2 that I had and sold. This is so simple, doesn't want to be ˝do it all˝ like Push. But what it does, it does extremelly well. No display and endless parameters to divert from creativity. Chord mode and sequencer are extremelly good. I recomend it very much.

Superb controller

Denis Kashcheev 17.11.2024

This is my favorite grid controller. It is durable, lightweight and has a lot of functions. For studio work it is very good. For perfomance it could be better (no faders, no knobs)
Also after release of Push 3 all controllers should have MPE surface
