Novation Launch Control XL 3 musical keyboard controller

SKU CH-R2XZ-6NB46

A control surface for DAWs and MIDI gear with eight 60mm faders, 24 endless encoders, 16 assignable buttons and a crisp OLED display

  • Hands-on DAW mixing with eight 60mm faders
  • Precise parameter control via 24 endless encoders
  • Instant plugin mapping through Components software
  • 16 assignable buttons across two banks
  • 15 custom modes for hybrid DAW and MIDI setups

Versatile DAW Control Surface

The Novation Launch Control XL 3 is a control surface built for digital audio workstations and MIDI hardware. It provides eight 60mm faders, 24 endless encoders, 16 assignable buttons across two banks, and dedicated transport controls. A crisp OLED display gives clear visual feedback for every parameter adjustment.

Best for Hands-On Mixing and Hybrid Rigs

This unit suits producers and engineers who want tactile mixing, plugin control, and hardware integration in one device. It is less suited for buyers who need motorised faders, built-in audio interfaces, or a keyboard playing surface. The layout focuses on parameter editing rather than note input.

USB-C and 5-Pin MIDI Connectivity

The controller connects to a host computer via USB-C and links to external synths or modules through 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru ports. Components software stores up to 15 user-defined custom modes for recalling specific mappings. This setup frees the computer keyboard and mouse for detailed editing tasks.

Questions about this item

What DAW or software do I need so the eight 60mm faders and 24 endless encoders work automatically?

The controller ships with built-in support for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase and other major DAWs, so no extra driver is required for those programs.

Can I still use my older synths that only have 5-pin DIN MIDI ports?

Yes, the unit provides MIDI In, Out and Out2/Thru on 5-pin DIN sockets so vintage gear connects directly without an interface.

How can I verify the OLED display and all controls are responding correctly after I finish the setup?

Launch the Components editor, load a custom mode, move each fader and encoder and watch the screen update instantly with the assigned parameter names and values.
