Whether you want detailed control over a single device or high-level command of your entire system, Launch Control 3 adapts to your workflow. Create custom mappings for encoders and buttons, store up to seven Custom Modes, and manage everything through Novation Components. It's equally at home controlling plug-ins inside your DAW or unlocking deeper functionality in MIDI-enabled hardware.
