Few things feel as satisfying as a hands-on workflow, and the Novation Launch Control 3 offers physical control galore — over software and hardware alike. This rock-solid MIDI control surface equips you with 16 endless rotary encoders, eight assignable buttons, and a vibrant OLED screen, enabling you to take direct command of Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and more, complete with Mackie HUI support for everything else. Moreover, you can easily map controls to your plugins and MIDI-enabled hardware using user-defined Custom Modes via Novation Components software. Alternatively, the Launch Control 3 can be deployed without a computer, thanks to 5-pin MIDI In, Out, and Out2/Thru ports. Complete with a stellar bundle of studio-grade software, the Launch Control 3 offers a powerful solution for adding tactile control to your DAW, plugins, and hardware.

The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
