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.
Control any setup
Go deep with a single device or get to grips with your entire production, mixdown, or performance. Whether you’re in the box, hardware-based, or a mixture of the two, Launch Control XL is a creative controller that suits your needs.
1. Powerful DAW integration
Take charge of Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and more with two DAW encoder modes.
2. Connect all your hardware
MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru ports enable custom-mapped control for all your hardware synths and effects — no computer needed.
3. Perfect for hybrid setups
Combine your external gear, DAW controls, and essential plugin parameters into one intuitive custom layout for the ultimate hybrid setup.
Let your creativity flow.
Launch Control XL transforms how you interact with music, making complex setups effortless. Shape your sound in real time – no menu-diving, no second-guessing. Dial in effects, balance your mix, and stay focused on creativity. In the studio or on stage, it seamlessly connects your hardware, software, and workflow into one smooth, uninterrupted experience.
Eight faders
When it’s time to mix, Launch Control XL’s eight 60mm faders provide precise, responsive control over levels. Enable fader pickup for smooth adjustments without jumps. With Custom Modes, map the 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 a dedicated RGB LED that indicates its relative value. In DAW encoder mode they 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 control multiple MIDI-capable synthesisers, effects, and control surfaces. Connecting multiple devices? Custom Modes let you split Launch Control XL, so you can adjust parameters on different gear at the same time.
