What is launch kontrol?

Launch kontrol or Launch Control is a unique software tool used by electronic music producers and DJs to control various aspects of their performance setup. It is typically used in conjunction with a hardware controller, such as Ableton Push or Novation Launchpad, to provide a hands-on interface for triggering clips, launching scenes, adjusting effects, and more.

Launch kontrol allows for deep integration with popular music production software like Ableton Live, and provides advanced features like dynamic mapping, device control, and macro management. It is an essential tool for live performance artists looking to take their routines to the next level.

Some features of Launch kontrol include:

  • Clip launching: trigger clips and loops on the fly and control their properties, including start/end points, loop length, and more
  • Scene launching: trigger entire scenes (groups of clips) simultaneously
  • Device control: adjust any parameter in Ableton Live-compatible devices using dedicated macro controls
  • MIDI mapping: easily map hardware controllers to Launch kontrol functions or custom user-created mappings
  • Integration with other software/apps: use Launch kontrol together with other music production software or iOS apps for seamless control over your performance setup.
