About this product
The Novation Launchpad Mini MK2 is a compact USB MIDI controller featuring 64 velocity-sensitive RGB pads. It comes bundled with Ableton Live Lite, making it a great entry point for music production and DJ performance. Bus-powered via USB, it offers a portable form factor ideal for on-the-go use. The interface is USB out, and it includes software for immediate creative workflow.
Our take
The Novation Launchpad Mini MK2 is a solid, compact controller for launching clips and triggering samples in Ableton Live. The 64 RGB pads are responsive and brightly lit. I appreciate that it's bus-powered, so no extra power supply needed. The included Ableton Live Lite gets you started, though you'll likely want to upgrade eventually. It's a capable tool for live sets or beatmaking, but the small size can feel cramped for complex finger drumming. Overall, a worthwhile entry-level pad controller. At $75, it's a fair price.
