Launch Control XL 3

Control Surface for DAWs

Take direct, hands-on control of your favorite DAWs and MIDI gear with the Launch Control XL 3 from Novation, a versatile control surface sporting eight 60mm faders, 24 endless encoders, 16 programmable buttons, and a crisp OLED display. With out-of-the-box support for most DAWs and easy automatic mapping via the Components software, the Control XL 3 streamlines your workflow.

The Launch Control XL 3 is compatible with most MIDI-equipped hardware thanks to its 5-pin DIN MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru connections. With the Components software, you can store up to 15 user-defined custom modes for specific MIDI mappings and hybrid DAW/hardware control setups. The Launch Control XL 3 includes studio-grade software for getting your creative productions off the ground quickly and a USB-C cable for host connections.

Take Control of Any Setup

Right out of the box, Launch Control XL 3 works seamlessly with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and more. Effortlessly map controls to all plugins and MIDI-enabled hardware.

Go deep with a single device, or take control over your entire production, mixdown, or performance. With extensive DAW integration built in and intuitive Custom Modes for everything else, Launch Control XL 3 is a creative controller that suits your needs.

Think Outside the Box

Launch Control XL 3 is designed to work with or without a computer connected: simply power via USB-C, then connect directly to your hardware instruments and effects via 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru ports. For hybrid setups, combine your external gear, DAW controls, and essential plugin parameters using the onboard custom templates.

Streamline Your Workflow

Use Novation Components to create and customize MIDI mappings and store a total of 15 user-defined Custom Modes. Launch Control XL 3 is the ideal companion for your MIDI-enabled hardware, providing hands-on control for mixer setups and synth parameters and even unlocking hidden, menu-based features.

Premium Hardware Feel

Redesigned from the ground up, the latest Launch Control XL 3 now features eight precise faders, 24 endless rotary encoders, and 16 customizable buttons, alongside dedicated transport controls. A crisp, new OLED display shows you vital, real-time information, right where you need it.

• 60mm of fader travel provides fine control and greater precision with a more tactile, responsive experience. Assign each fader to custom parameters for a more expressive sound shaping experience.
• Pan tracks, adjust sends, or customize mappings with the 24 smooth-feeling endless rotary encoders, each with an RGB LED that reacts to its position
• 16 assignable buttons let you switch focus between tracks and solo, arm, mute, or select on the fly from two banks of eight buttons, or use them to goggle switches and parameters of your choice
• Dedicated transport controls for play, stop, and record
