The Novation Launchpad Mini is the perfect control surface for Ableton Live anywhere. With 64 backlit pads and transport controls, it allows for easy and intuitive control over your music. The Launchpad Mini also features pad triggers, a security lock slot, and comes with software included. It is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable and versatile MIDI keyboard controller.
This is a more basic much smaller version of its bigger brothers with less features and the pads aren’t pressure sensitive, but I only wanted it for launching clips and a bit of finger drumming anyway. The pads are a bit more gummy than the X and pro but I don’t mind that, still does the job and I usually have pads set to full velocity anyway. I think one day when I have more space I will upgrade to the X but for now I am very satisfied with this little fellow.
Bought for use with a Zero 88 lighting desk.
Most important feature, in this context, is the ability to configure the pads as notes that are either momentary or latched with the pad light changing when the pad is active. A special bonus is that the colour of the light, both on and off, is also configurable.
Perfect for this use and I will be posting on the Zero 88 forum to tell other users about it.
