Description
Novation's Launchpad Mini MK3 MIDI controller provides musicians and producers an intuitive interface to compose, remix and perform electronic music.

Weighing in at just over a pound, this compact controller fits in any laptop bag or gig setup so you can create anywhere inspiration strikes.
Dynamic Instrument Playing and Clip Launching
The MK3's velocity-sensitive pads reflect the color of clips and instruments in your Ableton Live session, allowing for dynamic and expressive playing. Quickly trigger clips, scenes and loops to build tracks on the fly or improvise a live set.

Customizable Control
Four customizable modes provide tailored control over any music software or hardware setup. Map the MK3 to control external synths, drum machines and more. The included Novation Components software allows you to remap the MK3's MIDI functionality to suit any workflow or performance need.
Designed for Music on the Move
Weighing just over a pound, the MK3 is lightweight and compact enough to fit in any laptop bag, gig bag or production setup.
