Novation Launch Control XL 3

The Launch Control XL 3 is a dedicated mixer-style controller surface designed for hands-on control over levels, sends, and FX parameters in your DAW. It features eight 60mm faders with selectable fader pickup to prevent jumps on takeover, 24 rotary encoders across three rows of eight, and eight buttons per channel for send routing and device selection. The layout is purpose-built for mixing workflows rather than clip launching, which sets it apart from Novation’s Launchpad series.

Out of the box it maps to Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and Bitwig, with Mackie HUI support for other hosts. The unit is class-compliant over USB and requires no drivers on macOS or Windows. It ships with Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE, and a selection of bundled third-party plugins. The enclosure is built from 85% recycled materials.
