DAW Controllers
Novation's Launch Control XL 3 is a compact MIDI controller designed to take control of your STAN, your virtual instruments and your external devices, with an efficiency as disconcerting as a theremin solo in the middle of a mix. Its new design features eight 60mm faders, twenty-four endless rotary encoders, sixteen programmable keys and a brand new OLED screen so you can stay in control without ever looking up. This little USB-MIDI monster integrates seamlessly with your favourite software such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro or FL Studio, but can also stand alone with your external synths and effects. So Launch Control XL 3 does more than just shine: it lets you control, mix, automate and trigger... all without squinting or flipping through ten pages of menus. In addition to Ableton Live 12 Lite, Cubase 14 LE boosts your Novation Launchpad X, offering double the software power for your productions.

Presentation
With Novation Launch Control XL 3, you have at your fingertips a control surface designed for those who prefer to turn knobs rather than pages of manuals. Thanks to its 24 endless rotary encoders and 8 well-anchored faders, every parameter becomes tangible. The whole thing is designed to streamline your workflow, avoid mouse contortions and, above all, give you the illusion that your mix will take care of itself. Or almost.
Integration with the main STANs is immediate. Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio... You plug in, you control. And if you prefer the company of your good old hardware synths, the MIDI DIN ports are there for the taking. Add to that transport controls and banks of keys, and you've got a natural extension of your creative brain. Novation's Launch Control XL 3 isn't here to look pretty, but it does a pretty good job of it.
The OLED screen puts everyone in agreement. No more guesswork or guesswork: every parameter you manipulate is clearly displayed, at exactly the right moment. It's like having a GPS in a modular synth, but without the detours through the MIDI panic box.
Thanks to Novation's Components software, Launch Control XL 3 becomes a MIDI chameleon. Create your own modes, save your mappings, load them on the fly, and drive multiple musical worlds from a single control surface. Whether you're in a production session, mixing live or in the corner of your studio testing a dubby delay until dawn, it follows you everywhere. It's a bit like a studio assistant, without the coffee, but much more docile.
Ableton Live 12 Lite offers you a fluid and intuitive DAW, perfect for improvising live or structuring your tracks in the studio. Cubase 14 LE comes complete with 24 MIDI tracks, 16 audio tracks and a redesigned score editor, offering pro tools for composing, recording and mixing with precision. Together, they make the most of your Launchpad X, giving you versatility and creativity in a simple workflow.
And because Novation has thought of those who don't like wasting time, Launch Control XL 3 comes with tutorials, a simplified configuration tool (Easy Start), and a great range of software included. Ableton Live 12 Lite, smart plug-ins and a ready-to-use controller. The kind of package that makes you want to start creating even before you've switched on your speakers.

Très pratique. Attention ne semble pas fonctionner avec les versions de Cubase antérieures à 14 malgré le patch.

Le Launch Control XL 3 est un contrôleur robuste et de bonne facture, idéal pour une intégration profonde avec Ableton Live, Logic et Pro Tools. Sa configuration est simple et intuitive, soutenue par un excellent suivi client de la part de Novation, qui assure des mises à jour régulières et une grande polyvalence d'utilisation. Points à noter : Potentiomètres : Bien que solides, ils manquent de fluidité. Une rotation plus souple au toucher aurait été préférable pour gagner en confort de manipulation. Accessoire : Le prix du Decksaver est un peu élevé pour ce qu’il est, bien que ce soit malheureusement la norme pour la plupart des contrôleurs du marché. En résumé : Un outil fiable, pro et efficace, malgré des potards un peu rigides.
