12 years on from the previous iteration, Novation has unveiled the third generation of its Launch Control MIDI controller, a compact, fader-less alternative to the Launch Control XL 3 released in 2025.
Like the XL 3, Launch Control finds the controller transitioning from a primarily Ableton-focused device into one that's aimed at users of any DAW, and those working with hardware-based DAWless setups, bringing updated hardware, improved connectivity and a visual refresh to this popular control surface.
