New! Novation Launchpad Mini Mk3 - New Features & Demo

Mark from Novation gives us an overview of all the upgraded features and additions found on their brand new Launchpad Mini Mk3...

The Novation Launchpad Mini is the smallest and most affordable model in the Launch Pad range of Ableton controllers making it the perfect entry point for beginners. A USB MIDI controller surface, the Launchpad Mini MkIII features Novation's familiar 8x8 grid of pads, but now comes packaged in an even more compact, slim line design, so it's perfect as a portable Ableton Live controller for making music anywhere.

New features include a new low profile design, RGB colour feedback for the first time on the Launch Pad mini, and new custom modes, allowing you to customise the layout of the pads to suit your needs. Take a quick look with PMTVUK and check one out at your nearest Professional Music Technology store...

Insanely powerful little gadget. I have no music background and in 20 minutes I felt like a real DJ 😁

I love this thing. I'm impressed by how they could get the thing to be as small as it is yet it's still really comfortable to use.

It is striking how little the mini can do in comparison to not only the pro, but to the x as well even as it has identical physical controls. It is really just a paywall.

Great thanks. Happy with volume fader customization .

[eaman]

Dam it would have been nice to have the small mini with note mode and all functionality, it has the same buttons as the X...

I’ll take the launch control and launchpad mini and save tons of money versus buying push

[bavingeter]

Why can’t they make a velocity sensitive mini? That would be perfect

[sonyapeaks]

I have spent 2 days trying to use this with the included Ableton Live 10 Lite. I think you need to be some sort of programmer to use it

If I could find the button that keeps beats on beat I would be Kool.

Yo man. I have a problem. I can't acces user mode in ableton with this launchpad. Please help I don't know how to set it up

[TheRealDanMac]

If you can customise the layout, why can’t you put an ableton push style in key scales mode on the mini?

[davids]

Thanks for the maybe smile a bit more - maybe it's that Pre-Menstrual Tension, I dunno....? 😉😉😉😉

eveeryone wants this to be a better midi controller and I'm over here wishing it was a 64 sequencer.

It looks like the Launchpad mini mkIII has greatly reduced functionality when compared to the mkII. Why is that? You have removed the Mixer view (previously three screens of control) and run it into the old user modes and session view mode. It would be impossible to recreate the old Launchpad mini with this new Launchpad.

[jackplayz]

Can you only use session or can you use all because I’m struggling setting mines up

[musicmadness]

Do you need a computer to use it and can you link it to a synth?

[Art_Of_Sound]

Why do you have to touch the Lappy? at 4:36, flicks over to the track...why wouldnt you scroll to the the track and then hit drums? Also why is there no shift button to extend functions like scroll in banks of 8? Ive been using Live for 10 years and the potential of these types of controllers are great...but basic UI paradigms are missing. eg Gestures on the pads which have been on loopers for a long time. What about a pedal input for hands free (semi) live looping? Great potential that takes so many years to materialise...just my frustrated 2c worth

Can you play Blues and, Raggie with this?

[visheshl]

Can I select a track and device? I want to buy it, but want to be sure if I can select a particular track with launchpad mini mk3
