Triggering Mayhem!
Novation's Launchpad S controller for Ableton sports brighter, faster buttons. But the big news is that it's Core MIDI compliant and can be powered by your iPad, letting you take advantage of current and future iOS-compatible music-making apps. You still get 72 trigger buttons, making the Launchpad an amazing companion to Live's Session View. You also get dedicated buttons for launching scenes. If you don't use Live, go ahead and use Launchpad S to map out the controls however you want; it includes Novation's renowned Automap software. Feeling trigger-happy? Novation's Launchpad S is just what you need.
