Product description
Novation's Launchpad Pro is the professional grid performance instrument. Create dynamic, expressive performances in Ableton Live or any other music software. Use the enhanced 8x8 grid of RGB velocity and pressure-sensitive pads to trigger and combine clips, play dynamic beats and melodies, and even control external MIDI hardware. Novation understands the pressures of performing live. That's why they have made it as easy as possible to control Ableton Live, by building five simple modes into Launchpad Pro, which streamline everything for you. Never hit a wrong note again! With the Scale function, simply press Launchpad Pro’s Shift and Note buttons, then choose from a roster of 32 keys and modes, from major and minor, through phrygian, whole tone, bebop minor, iwato, etc. Once selected, Launchpad Pro’s 64 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads will assign themselves contiguously to only the notes of the selected scale, removing all the rest. Launchpad Pro is turned into a deeply expressive instrument that lets you focus on the music, rather than precise finger positions. Scale mode isn’t just for Ableton Live – you can use it to play virtual instruments in any other DAW, as well as your hardware synths. Launchpad Pro does not require connection to a computer; it can send MIDI via its 1/8th-inch output (and an included 5-pin Din adapter), so you can play external synths without a keyboard controller. Immediately trigger and combine your clips with Session Mode. Create dynamic beats and play the grid just like an instrument with Note Mode. In Dance Mode, easily apply effects to your performance, and in User Mode, create unique custom performances and layouts. The whole instrument is designed to keep you focused on your performance. It lets you easily and immediately apply effects (Device Mode), while dipping in and out of specific mixer controls at the touch of a button. Of course, if you want to get really creative, download a growing library of Max for Live devices, and control them using your Launchpad Pro. It's sleek, lightweight and tough enough that you can throw it in your bag and know it will survive even the roughest gigs. It also comes with everything you need to get started (cables and software): just plug it in and start making music. Never hit a wrong note again! With the Scale function, simply press Launchpad Pro’s Shift and Note buttons, then choose from a roster of 32 keys and modes, from major and minor, through phrygian, whole tone, bebop minor, iwato, etc. Once selected, Launchpad Pro’s 64 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads will assign themselves contiguously to only the notes of the selected scale, removing all the rest.

This is not something you can just sit down with and start playing without some research and ton's of practice. But he has loved every minute on it and I have been shocked at how this has replaced so much of his gaming time. Most gamers have the hand eye coordination to excel at this instrument and will be satisfied by the sound and visual effects.
As a parent it has been wonderful to watch him find and explore a hobby beside gaming. His one complain was the lack of instructions, but there is an online user manual that is something like 635 pages, if anyone has the patience for that. My son just googled things and figured it out. I would recommend it to any parent or anyone looking to start computer composing or interested in DJ'ing.

Included: Launchpad Mini, USB connector, Ableton Live 9 Lite code, and Manual
IMPORTANT NOTES: It's Ableton Live 9 LITE, and the upgraded version will run you a pretty penny (I believe over $300, I'll check this). You can do a lot with lite, but just know that it's not the fully unlocked version. Also, check Ableton live 9's minimum computer requirements just to make sure your computer can actually run it. If you don't know how to check, download the program and use the 30 day trail to see how it runs on your computer.
Pros: Super fun, Good intro. to launchpads, Affordable, and Ableton Live 9 Lite code for free.
Cons:Learning curve, Basically limited to 4 colors, hard to adjust sensitivity (if possible at all).
Ramble: If you put in the time and effort, you will love this product. I've had it for 3 days and after looking up multiple guides, finding templates, and messing around with the program, I have a good grasp on what you do to have fun using this product. Also, you need to either read the manual or watch YouTube videos on what the numbers and letters do. Not knowing what these do WILL mess with outcome of your project. If you're looking for more colors for your projects (RGB spectrum), buy the $150.00 model of this product. However, I would start with this model if you are just starting, just to make sure you actually want to delve into the world of launchpads. I had no problems with the website or product which I've heard other individuals have had, so just know that it could happen to you and that you should try to be patient with Novation when filing a report.
Conclusion: This is a great product. Buy it if you're interested in this field of music and enjoy it for what it is. If you know for sure you want to invest your time and money into launchpads, buy the $150.00 one so that you can make unbelievably cool light shows while playing music (also the interface is easier to understand with this model).
Extra Notes: Watch YouTube videos 100% (especially over the setup), find an easy to understand template (I don't remember what template I used but i'll link it soon), and don't give up on learning it (It's difficult, but worth it).
Extra Extra Notes: Sorry for being repetitive.
Upcoming: I'll post a short video on what I can currently do/what it can do, I'll link a good template and a few important guides, and i'll post a picture of it.
The build quality on this thing is SOLID. It has a rubber bottom and won’t move on a desk (or move easily, I tried moving it while pressing the buttons and didn’t move it too much.) It’ll also stay put if you’re on a soft surface like a blanket.
The buttons are rubber(?), and have a very good firm feel when you press them.
The included software is...eh. The plugins are more useful if you have a midi keyboard or controller with knobs, but they’re still good. The ableton software is definitely something that’s lacking, but for a bit over 100, I can’t really complain. The best thing is the Melodics software that comes with it. It teaches three different things on how you want to learn using the launchpad.
All in all, I love the hardware, the included software isn’t too great if you don’t have a midi controller, and intro gives a taste of ableton, but I wish it was a bit more.
This may be my favorite piece of gear ever.

This is an amazing controller. It's so good I bought two - one to control and one as a visual metronome. It is so easy to set up - from Ableton live just plug it in and it's ready to go. The latest Ableton will do the rest automatically. You can either map buttons or use the default session mode to control Ableton in session view. It makes it clear what buttons are in use and what mode they are in. You can even send midi to it and use it as a visual metronome, negating the need to look at a computer screen during live performance.
For those that say it's hard to set up or too complicated...They can't have any idea how to use a DAW as this is the easiest controller to use I've come across. Especially in Ableton.
