The Creative Control Surface

Get hands on with your entire workflow. Launch Control XL’s eight precision faders, 24 endless rotary encoders, and 16 assignable buttons give you tactile control over all major DAWs, right out the box. And with intuitive custom mapping for all your plugins and hardware, Launch Control XL makes an ideal studio centrepiece.

Eight faders

When it’s time to mix, Launch Control XL’s eight 60mm faders provide precise, responsive control over levels, with selectable fader pickup for avoiding sudden jumps. Custom Modes allow you to map faders to effects, filters, and more, giving you a hands-on way to shape your sound in the studio or on stage.

24 endless encoders

Launch Control XL’s smooth-feeling endless rotary encoders each feature adjustable response curves and a dedicated RGB LED to indicate its relative value. In DAW encoder mode encoders can pan tracks, adjust sends, help you navigate your DAW’s timeline, and more. Or create your own Custom Modes to control anything you want.

16 assignable buttons

No more endless clicking, two rows of eight colour-coded buttons link to your DAW tracks, letting you switch focus between them and quickly solo, mute, or arm. Assign them to any hardware switch or parameter, send MIDI notes and CCs, program changes, keystrokes, and more.

Dedicated transport controls

A dedicated transport section allows you to play, pause, and start or stop recording your DAW directly from Launch Control XL. In DAW Control mode, the bottom row of encoders gives you instant access to additional handy functions, like scrubbing the playhead, adjusting loop points, and navigating your arrangement.

MIDI I/O

With 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru connections, you can route and merge MIDI to and from hardware synthesisers, effects, and control surfaces. Connecting multiple devices? Custom Modes let you split Launch Control, so you can adjust parameters on different gear at the same time.
