10 innovations inspired by Ableton Live
NOVATION LAUNCHPAD
1 Novation’s Launchpad was the first MIDI hardware controller to literally reflect what’s seen in Live’s Session View. An 8x8 grid of illuminated buttons, capable of launching clips and scenes or playing instrument parts, it says everything that the Launchpad is still going strong, now comprising a range with varied capabilities and at different price points. Traditionalists, meanwhile, can make use of Novation’s Launchkey range. Pads and keys alike are also compatible with other software, and in some cases, hardware.
