When combined with Launchpad’s intuitive 64-button grid, Launch Control XL provides extraordinary simultaneous control over Ableton Live’s session view, mixer, effects and instruments. Crafting the perfect mix has never been easier. Review: Great controller that replaced my Akai APC Mini - I originally bought an Akai Midimix, but ended up returning it for the Launch Control XL. I have been very happy with the decision. While the Launch Control costs more, it feels like a better quality piece of gear. I read a lot of reviews that said this, and they were right. The knobs and faders on the Akai feel cheap in comparison. The biggest advantage the Launch Control has over the Midimix is that it is very customizable. You can even save presets on the Novation. I use the Launch Control XL with a Launchpad X, and the two devices together are amazingly capable. There are very few features I would want that are not available when using these two devices together. The Novation costs about $50 more than the Akai, but I feel like the price difference is well worth it! Review: Excellent value for the money. Great for VCV Rack - Plug play right out of the box. I do recommend updating the firmware however. I can't rate support because I have not needed them. I tested on Windows and Linux, ,no issues at all with drivers or other connectivity problems. For my application it works great. I am able to map the sliders and nobs and buttons to VCV Rack with no issue. The unit is plastic but with a metal feel. It is very solid, does not feel cheap. Small foot print saves space but its not so small that its difficult to deal with. Everything has a good feel the action is smooth with slight resistance, Just enough to feel comfortable. I really don't think you can beat this for the price. I just wish someone would make a unit specific to VCV. ## Features - Stay focused on your music: 24 pots, each with 300-degree motion, line up seamlessly with Ableton Live’s mixer. Eight 60mm faders give control over your levels, and 16 multicolored pads give you immediate track focus and mixer control - Customize your workflow: Create your own layouts with 16 assignable buttons and assign any parameters within Ableton to pots/faders. You can customize pots with your own colors, and switch between your mappings and Live's built-in functionality - Control just about anything: Plug Launch Control XL into Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase or ProTools and start controlling essential DAW functions. With Launch Control XL’s standalone capabilities, you can also take control of any of your hardware - Get started immediately: Start making music quickly with included Ableton Live Lite software and FAST Balancer, the AI-powered EQ plugin ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N592MVS | | Additional Features | 8 user templates | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,501 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #18 in Computer Recording MIDI Controllers | | Brand Name | Novation | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | PC, Synthesizer | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Type | USB | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Button/Fader Controller | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (670) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00815301000754 | | Hardware Interface | USB 2.0 | | Hardware Platform | Mac/Windows | | Human Interface Input | Buttons | | Included Components | Launch Control XL, USB Cable | | Instrument | digital audio workstation | | Instrument Key | Any | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9.45"D x 9.45"W x 1.54"H | | Item Type Name | Ableton Live Controller | | Item Weight | 2.16 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Novation | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Mixer Channel Quantity | 8 | | Model Name | Launch Control XL Black | | Model Number | AMS-LAUNCH-CONTROL-XL-BLK | | Platform | Mac, iOS | | Product Style | Launch Control XL | | Size | XL | | Supported Software | Ableton, HUI | | Total USB 2.0 Ports | 1 | | Total USB Ports | 1 | | UPC | 815301000921 815301000754 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 years. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Novation - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Model Name:** Launch Control XL Black - **Product Dimensions:** 9.45"D x 9.45"W x 1.54"H - **Special Feature:** 8 user templates ## Images ![Launch Control XL - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nnq0rx1RL.jpg) ![Launch Control XL - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jO5yFQNwL.jpg) ![Launch Control XL - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810q4LkvL8L.jpg) ![Launch Control XL - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dLNoiuBxL.jpg) ![Launch Control XL - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bufg0vsmL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will i be able to assign colors if i`m using fl studio? thanks!** A: Yes, the color depends on the user profile you configure with the editor **Q: Will the launch control xl work with reason running on a mac?** A: Hi, Thanks for your interest in the Launch Control XL.

It allows the user to have tactile, physical control of ANY parameter that can be mapped to it, and even offers custom User Profiles, for creating your own control maps. The LCXL also works with Novation Components and this makes it easy to work with, along with my other Novation gear, when working in Components. 10/10 - would buy again ## Frequently Bought Together - Novation Launch Control XL USB MIDI Controller for Ableton Live, Logic Pro & More, with 24 Knobs, 8 Faders & Custom Mapping - Novation Launchpad and Launch Control XL Neoprene Sleeve - Novation Launchpad X MIDI Grid Controller for Ableton Live/Logic Pro — Easy Controls, Dynamic Note Playing, Scale Modes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/37513729-launch-control-xl](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/37513729-launch-control-xl) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
