Made to produce

Launchpad Thank you for buying Launchpad, the iconic grid instrument for Ableton Live. You’re now part of the evolution in the creation of electronic music!

Launchpad’s grid lets you play drums and samples with pads pre-mapped to Ableton Live's drum rack.

The Complete Sequencing Workstation

Design the perfect controller for your live setup and perform with all your gear, however you want.

Control MIDI-compatible Hardware, Software, Or Both

Tailor Launchpad Pro to your setup, then take control of MIDI-compatible hardware and software — with or without a computer.

Ableton Launchpad Software

“It's important to point out that although the XL can be mapped to any DAW and even connects to you iPad, it really shines when it is being used to control Live with its sibling, the Launchpad beside it.”
