De Novation Launchpad is een MIDI controller, speciaal ontwikkeld voor de besturing van Ableton Live. Ideaal om in Ableton loops, samples en virtuele instrumenten mee te triggeren maar ook om te gebruiken als volledige USB MIDI mixer. De Launchpad is ontwikkeld door een samenwerkingsverband tussen Novation en Ableton maar is ook zeer goed te gebruiken met vrijwel iedere andere muzieksoftware door de slimme auto-map software.
Inclusief gratis Ableton Live 8 Launchpad edition.
