Launch Control XL v1.1 is here
Our creative control surface’s first major update brings improved compatibility, more control, and deeper customisation.
Launch Control XL’s first major firmware update is available now — if you already own the controller, you can upgrade now via Novation Components
The v1.1 update is designed to add compatibility for more DAWs, enhanced control for external hardware, and deeper customisation for your unique setup. Here’s what’s included:
- 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.
