Novation AMS-LAUNCHPAD-MINI-MK3 Launchpad Mini MIDI Controller

The Novation Launchpad Mini MK3 is an ultra-compact MIDI grid controller built for music producers and performers who want tactile control over their sessions without sacrificing desk space or portability. Its 64 RGB backlit pads deliver vibrant, color-coded visual feedback that directly mirrors the state of your Ableton Live session, so you always know which clips are playing, queued, or stopped. Dedicated Stop, Solo, and Mute buttons along the edges provide instant access to essential mixer controls, making it a capable performance tool right out of the box. The controller connects via USB-C and is fully bus-powered, requiring nothing more than a single cable to your computer.

Beyond its tight Ableton Live integration, the Launchpad Mini MK3 supports Logic Pro and HUI mode for broader DAW compatibility. Novation Components, a free browser-based editor, unlocks three Custom Modes where you can remap every pad to send specific MIDI notes, control changes, or program changes—turning the controller into a flexible tool for any MIDI-compatible software. At just 7.1 x 7.1 x 0.56 inches, it is one of the most portable grid controllers available, fitting easily alongside a laptop in any workspace or travel setup. Novation's interactive onboarding and step-by-step video guides help new users get set up and making music within minutes of unboxing.
