2.3 Ableton Live
Ableton Live (often referred to as Live) is a unique and powerful piece of software for music creation.
Ableton Live 10 Lite is provided with your Launchpad Pro, which gives you all the tools you’ll need
to get started with making your own music. Launchpad Pro’s Session Mode is designed to control
Ableton Live’s Session View.
If you’ve never used Ableton Live before, we recommend visiting our Easy Start Tool (see 2. Getting
up and Running) which will walk you through registering your Launchpad Pro and getting your
included copy of Ableton Live 10. You’ll also find videos covering Ableton Live’s core features and
how to get started with making music using your Launchpad Pro.
When you open Live your Launchpad Pro will be automatically detected and it will enter Session
Mode.
More resources on using Ableton Live’s many functions may be found on Ableton’s site at:
www.ableton.com/en/live/learn-live/.
You may register your Launchpad Pro and obtain your Ableton Live 10 Lite license at:
customer.novationmusic.com/register.
2.4 Using with Other Software
If you’re using other music production software, visit support.novationmusic.com for more information
on how to set up your Launchpad Pro. Keep in mind that the information displayed in Session Mode
and Note Mode may vary depending on which software you are using.
2.5 Using Standalone
To use Launchpad Pro standalone, plug the unit in via the included wall-plug with the USB-A to USB-C
cable. Use the included TRS Minijack to DIN MIDI adapters, along with a MIDI cable, to connect to
your external hardware. The Sequencer, Custom Modes, Note Mode, Chord Mode and Programmer
Mode will all send out MIDI data via the MIDI Out ports.
2.6 Having Trouble?
In case you’re having any trouble getting setup, don’t hesitate to contact our support team! You can
