Novation Launchpad Shipping
Nov 4, 2009 3:34 PM
The Launchpad ($199) hands-on interactive controller for Ableton Live is now shipping and available in stores and online.
Launchpad has been jointly designed by Novation and Ableton to bring the features of Live to the fingertips of the modern musician. The 8x8 grid of backlit buttons addresses a multitude of functions, with the help of mode selectors that transport the user around the Live interface.
The device is bus-powered from a single USB connection, and has a 10-inch-square desktop footprint. Rubber feet ensure Launchpad stays secure on the surface on which it's placed, and an optional padded neoprene travel sleeve is available. It ships with a USB cable, plus a DVD-ROM with Mac and PC installers for a special Launchpad Version of Ableton Live 8, as well as 1 GB of sample content from Loopmasters and Mike the Drummer. It also comes Automap-enabled.
