The Korena take

Launchpad Pro MK3 puts clip launching, performance pads, sequencing, and MIDI control in one hands-on controller. Its 64 velocity-sensitive RGB pads add polyphonic aftertouch, with Note, Chord, and 4×4 Drum modes for different playing layouts. The onboard four-track, 32-step sequencer can record in real time, chain patterns, and launch scenes without a computer. USB-C, MIDI connections, eight Custom Modes, and controls for DAW transport, tracks, mixing, and devices make it suited to studio and stage workflows.
