The best way to show off a product is to make a video. Summing up, the Launch Control XL is available in August with a retail price of £159.99. We’re lucky enough to count Darren E Cowley and Isotonik Studios as part of the wider DJWORX team, and he has been involved in some hush hush secret sauce that will become apparent soon enough. The glorious light show offered by controllers doesn’t always play ball easily. Success depends on just how mappable the Launch Control XL is, and if visual feedback can be mapped as well. When I saw the pictures, all I could see was a secondary controller for DJ software, one that could tame the finer elements of features like Serato’s SP6 sampler, or offer a greater level of effects control in Traktor. Separately however, it makes a lot more sense, as a wider market is opened up too.īut don’t let me dissuade you from viewing the Launch Control XL as a product in its own right. Of course it isn’t, but you could easily see these two complimentary units in one long APC style case.

It’s the missing half of this complete picture, and for me almost makes the original Launchpad S feel a tad limited without the XL.

Here you can see the very reason why the XL has been created. The most telling picture for me is side-by-side Launchpad/Control XL picture.

And behold - the Novation Launch Control XL was born. “Hmmm… still not enough - let’s supersize this puppy”. So they created the Launch Control - a smaller strip of knobs and buttons designed for a little more control. Clip launching is great, but what about the finer elements of control? I guess Novation looked long and hard at the Launchpad S and thought “this is cool, but there’s still something missing…”.
