Launchpad Pro MK3 and LaunchPad X are the newest iterations of the large and medium-sized, grid-based MIDI controllers from Novation. They don’t make any sounds on their own, but rather are designed to play and control other software or hardware instruments and are also deeply integrated with Ableton Live.
