Novation Launch Control XL 3 Update Adds Deeper Customization, Expanded DAW Support + More
Launch Control XL’s first major firmware update is now available.
Novation has released an update for the Launch Control XL 3 control surface, adding deeper customization, support for more DAWs and more.
New in Launch Control XL 3 v1.1:
- Mackie HUI support: Launch Control XL 3 now supports additional DAWs — including Pro Tools, Reaper, and Studio One — right out the box.
- Expanded MIDI routing: With flexible USB-to-DIN MIDI passthrough, it’s now easy to configure hybrid setups with merged control data and channel filtering.
- Encoder acceleration curves: Adjust how the encoders respond for more precise, expressive control.
- Fader pickup: Smooth out transitions to prevent disruptive changes while mixing or performing.
- Fader preview: Press Shift and move any fader to see the parameter value without altering it.
- Faster Custom Mode selection: Just hold down the Mode button, select a Custom Mode, and release it to get back to your flow.
Launch Control XL 3 v1.1 is available now as a free update.
