A good pairing for Novation Launchpad

Hi guys.
Im an amature DJ and i work with ableton live. recently i have bought a launchpad and i really need a mixer-style Midi controller to pair it with. i know that one of my choices is the nocturn but i was wondering if you could introduce me to some more mixer-style Midi controllers and nocturn alternatives and help me to choose a good pairing controller for my launchpad
Thanks a lot

livid DS1, Novation XL… both great controllers to pair with launchpad :slight_smile:

Launchcontrol XL, compliments the Launchpad (S) perfectly.

UC-33e.

Or Behringer BCR 2000.

Both are a really goo pairing with a Launchpad.

If you want something built like a tank the Vestax VCM-600 comes to mind, or sell the Launchpad and get a MK1 or MK2 APC40 and keep it all in one box.

VCM-600

Thanks a lot lads
btw do you think that the launchpad controller is any good?!

A very large yes.

Yes - the LP is lovely controller.

The Session and Mixer pages are awesome - even if you DON’T use the User Presets.

Thanks a lot guys. so i think I’m gonna go with the nocturn itself or the launchpad controller:roll_eyes:

+1 the APC40. I was in the same dilemma a couple weeks back, then got an APC, and man, that thing is awesome. I run all the clips and FX on the APC, then drum away/activate dummy clips on the launchpad. It’s a good mix!
