Upgraded RGB Pads

Velocity- and pressure-sensitive RGB pads have an upgraded and responsive feel. With 64 sensitive RGB pads, it’s simple to use while making it easy to see clips and giving a dynamic play.

The pads feature several different modes to build and experiment with full tracks. Chord Mode builds harmonies, from the simple to the complex, all from the grid. Scale Mode locks the pads to specific musical keys for the perfect note every time. Dynamic Note helps play in-key basslines, melodies, chords and leads. Plus, Launchpad Pro [MK3] displays a drum rack on the grid when it senses the player is drumming.
