The 24 knobs are arranged in three rows, which align perfectly with Ableton Live’s mixer.
Crafting the perfect mix has never been easier! When combined with Launchpad’s intuitive 64-button grid, Launch Control XL provides extraordinary simultaneous control over Ableton Live’s session view, mixer, effects and instruments. It helps you focus more on your music and less on your laptop, by providing 16 buttons, 24 knobs and eight faders, all of which integrate seamlessly with Live to give you total hands-on control. Also, if you’re looking for something with keys, you can check out our Novation Launchkey MIDI keyboard review, or more options for a specific controller in our best MIDI controller for Ableton article.Launch Control XL is the ultimate controller for Ableton Live. It’s actually a lot more solid with a few more functions, but you sacrifice that with price. We’ve heard this surface compared to others around the market, such as the Allen & Heath Xone K2 (a few bucks more), so check that out if you’re looking to compare. The Launch Control XL MIDI control surface can only help complete your music equipment arsenal when it comes to adding into your mix. I can see this pairing up with a Launchpad S or even the numerous MIDI keyboards Novation has built over the years.
#LAUNCHCONTROL LIVE 10 SOFTWARE#
The only complaint we feel is perhaps the lack of a synth VST with the software bundle, but beggars can’t be choosers.
#LAUNCHCONTROL LIVE 10 FULL#
Seamless integration for full control of the knobs, faders and buttons. This thing is rugged, built very well and maps extremely well with your digital audio workstation, especially Ableton with the matching layouts. Here’s a link to the Launch Control XL user guide. For the price and if you’re looking for Ableton, this is a steal. You’ve also got a standard MIDI controller editor software as well as a nice (surprisingly decent sounding) Loopmasters sample content. Another great feature in terms of convenience is it being bus-powered so you don’t have to tamper with any extra wires or annoying AV adapters.Īs far as included software goes, we’ve stated that it comes with Ableton Live Lite. However, if you drop it, it won’t necessarily shatter and it isn’t made of cheap plastic.
#LAUNCHCONTROL LIVE 10 PORTABLE#
It’s highly portable (as seen in the photo above) but just be careful as it isn’t necessarily stainless steel. We’ve always been satisfied with the builds of Novation products and this doesn’t steer away from that in any way. The stability and build of the Launch Control XL is actually quite impressive. It doesn’t necessarily have an automap software or can match the interface of other workstations, but once you plug it in, your computer and software will recognize it shortly and all you have to do is assign the functions to the knobs, faders, or buttons.

Not a must when it comes to using it with the DAW, but definitely nice for matching it up. But what about other DAWs? I tried using mine with both Logic and Acid Pro thus far and have had zero problems. One of the biggest conveniences of the Launch Control XL is that the knobs are evenly laid out in three rows (of eight), which matches the exact layout of Ableton’s interface.
When it comes to mapping with software, it’s obvious that it is seamless with Ableton. If you’re looking for keys you probably already have a MIDI keyboard, otherwise you can pair this up with just about any controller out there to complete your music equipment arsenal. Another cool little feature is being able to customize the knobs with your own colors, which is only a plus, especially if you’re performing live.
If you think about it, it really doesn’t lack anything other control surfaces have. What’s really cool about this control surface is that it does what it needs to do - provides the necessary functions a control surface needs.
