Novation Launchpad Mini Mk3 - Review, Unboxing, Tutorial, Demo 2022

The Novation Launchpad Mini Mk3 is a great compact MIDI controller and is even better for Ableton users. It lacks in terms of velocity sensitivity and some of the navigation controls can take some getting used to but overall I would recommend it. It would really help if you would subscribe, like and leave a comment. Stay Tuned!

Nice review, mate! Really well presented. Guess I'll have to pick one of these up tomorrow!

[@staytuned3068]

Thanks!

[@luvligirl84]

Informative review. Now I know that it's just what I need, thanks.

[@staytuned3068]

Thanks so much, I’m glad I could help!

[@MrInvisible5119]

Great song!

[@lolocaust4967]

Thanks for the good review. Just ordered mine to replace my ageing mk1 mini.

[@staytuned3068]

No worries! :)

In my country this cost 47$ only and it's a very good deal I bought 1 yesterday

Thanks!

[@sargamstudio6816]

how to keep the LED stay lit or blink on this NOVLPD11, please? I use Ableton Live and need to know which pad is active at a given time.

[@PoPR99]

Hello, how do they use it, please tell me

[@kodefree]

Thanks for the video! I wanna order one to play some LoFi beats. Is it possible to map all the keys in Ableton so to play One-Shots sounds?

[@staytuned3068]

Hi, no worries! Yeah you definitely can, you just have to put a different sound in each cell. Hope this made sense!

[@kodefree]

@@staytuned3068 cool thanks! Can I also trigger rec, loop etc with the keys?

[@staytuned3068]

@@kodefree Yep absolutely

[@Petrpans7]

Hello ! This works with protools ?

[@il_Med]

HI! I can't figure out if the launchpad mini has a step sequencer ​​built in or not... Can you tell me please?

[@staytuned3068]

Hi I don’t believe it is built in unfortunately, but there may be a way to program it?

[@checcomastro1]

Hi!!!! im new to this world and I was thinking about buying a launchpad, but I do not actually know anything about it. I thought it would be a good idea buying the launchpad mini, but Ive seen so many comments on the internet that says that if u want to start seriously u should go for the pro, because u'll spend more money when u'll feel the need of an upgrade, what do you think about it? im very confused

[@staytuned3068]

Hi! I’d say they serve slightly different uses. If you are just staring out and aren’t sure if you’re willing to pour lots of money into it and need something portable, I’d say go with the mini. I use it along side other midi controllers, not as my main so if you are only looking for something to be your centrepiece and are wanting to do lots of live looping and recording I’d recommend spending a bit extra for the pro. I hope this made sense! Thanks :)

[@checcomastro1]

@@staytuned3068 thank you so much ^.^

[@staytuned3068]

No worries!

[@zaidkaiksow3507]

I have the first generation launchpad. My question is, are the keys velocity sensitive on the MK3?

[@staytuned3068]

Hi unfortunately they aren’t!

[@kcynerbt741]

Oh wow that's dumb that was gonna be my whole reason for getting it

[@wartortle577]

Question because i'm a little lazy to watch the entire video. Are the buttons easy to press? I bought an akai piano and whilst it is good the keys require more effort in pressing than i'd like.

[@Stop_It_Just_Stop]

He said they are fine, nothing special. Lots of travel distance

[@jen12353]

Just by one

[@fplusbeats]

Can it be used in Ableton's arrangement view or only in session view???

[@staytuned3068]

Hi you should be able to use it in both!

[@fplusbeats]

@@staytuned3068 thank you 💯

[@staytuned3068]

No worries, I think there’s less functionality in the arrangement views as it’s not really made for that but I’ll work like any other midi controller in terms of mapping

[@SimpleTrax]

You can not customize the black buttons on the edges? Why? Complete dealbraker.

[@staytuned3068]

I think it’s because they’re the main controls and they’re pretty necessary/standard. There’s still plenty of other buttons you can customise. What is your use that requires you to customise the outside pads specifically?
