Eight faders

When it’s time to mix, Launch Control XL’s eight 60mm faders provide precise, responsive control over levels. Enable fader pickup for smooth adjustments without jumps. With Custom Modes, map the faders to effects, filters, and more — giving you a hands-on way to shape your sound in the studio or on stage.

Everything you need to create

Launch Control XL includes studio-grade software to get you started. Ableton Live Lite lets you record and perform with up to eight tracks of MIDI or audio, plus a suite of instruments, effects, and tools. You also get a selection of plugins from Klevgrand, Baby Audio, and Output.
