Novation Launchpad Ableton Live USB

In the flesh the Launchpad is a simple, well-built controller with a total of 80 backlit rubberized buttons and rubberized feet so it doesn’t slip about while in use, a Kensington lock socket for security, and a USB socket for connecting to the computer.

The buttons either light up in amber (to show that the slot contains a clip), green (to show that the clip is playing), red (to show that the clip is recording) or no colour (to show that there are no tracks or scenes in that range).
