Set up your Novation Launchpad in Logic Pro
You can control many Live Loops functions and mixing parameters in Logic Pro with
a Novation Launchpad. You can trigger and stop cells and scenes, mute, solo, and
arm tracks, and adjust volume and sends. You can extend Launchpad functionality by
adding multiple Launchpad devices to your setup. Logic supports the following Novation
Launchpad models:
• Launchpad
• Launchpad S
• Launchpad Mini
• Launchpad Mini MK3
• Launchpad MK2
• Launchpad Pro
• Launchpad X
The following sections apply to all Launchpad models, except as noted.
Set up Novation Launchpad
In most cases, when you connect a Launchpad to your Mac, the device is automatically
recognized and appears in the Control Surface Setup window. If the Launchpad does not
appear there, follow these steps to set it up manually.
1. Make sure that your Launchpad is connected to your computer, using a USB MIDI
interface.
2. Choose Logic Pro > Control Surfaces > Setup.
3. Choose New > Install in the Setup window.
4. Select your Launchpad model in the Install window.
5. Click the Add button.
6. Select the added device in the Setup window, then set both the Output and Input Port
parameters to the appropriate setting for your device.
Logic Pro sets the Orientation parameter to 90º Right in the Setup window’s Device
inspector. Using this orientation, you can use the Launchpad with the scene buttons at the
bottom, mirroring the position of the scene triggers in Live Loops. This document refers
to Launchpad devices set up in this way. You can change the Orientation parameter to 90º
Right. The current orientation is indicated by the device icon in the Setup window.
