Novation Launchpad Mini Mk3 – Your Portable RGB Pad MIDI Controller

The Launchpad Mini Mk3 is the latest evolution of Novation’s iconic grid MIDI controller. With its compact size, full integration with Ableton Live, and intuitive 64-pad interface, it has become a trusted tool for music producers, DJs, and live performers worldwide. This powerful and portable unit gives you everything you need to launch clips, loops, create beats, and control your sessions — all from a device that fits in your backpack.

Small Size, Big Capabilities

With a grid of 64 responsive RGB pads (8×8), the Launchpad Mini Mk3 offers hands-on, visual control over your Ableton Live session. Pad colors match your clips, allowing for easy navigation and precise triggering. Eight additional function buttons give you quick access to transport controls like Stop, Solo, and Mute.

Seamless Ableton Live Integration

Designed for plug-and-play operation, the Launchpad Mini Mk3 connects directly to Ableton Live with no setup required. It's instantly mapped to control clips, scenes, mixer functions, and more. You can also use it with other DAWs like Logic Pro, FL Studio, or Bitwig via MIDI mapping or custom modes.

Portable and Reliable

Its compact footprint (180 × 180 × 14.2 mm) and lightweight design (just 0.38 kg) make it ideal for on-the-go music creation. It’s USB-C powered, requiring no external power adapter, and its durable plastic chassis is built to withstand the demands of both studio use and live performance.

Custom Modes with Novation Components

The Launchpad Mini Mk3 features three fully programmable Custom Modes, editable through the free Novation Components platform. Assign MIDI messages, customize pad colors, and build your own layouts tailored to your setup and performance style — all stored directly in the device.
