Launch Buttons is an intuitive software application that simplifies live event control, enhancing performance efficiency and user experience.

Launch Buttons is a MIDI controller designed for Ableton Live, offering users a portable solution for track performance. With compatibility across various DAWs post a straightforward setup, it eliminates the need for costly equipment, allowing seamless use on your phone or tablet. For optimal performance, pairing it with Ableton and the Launchpad 95 script is advisable.

The free version grants access to all 64 buttons on the 8x8 grid, alongside eight scene launch buttons, eight navigation buttons, and seven transport controls. Leveraging the Launchpad95 script unlocks features such as a step sequencer, scale mode, and numerous additional functions.

For added convenience, the Apple Watch extension extends functionality to control a scaled-down version of Launch Buttons on the go. This includes a 3x3 clip launcher, three scene launchers, and four arrow keys for clip navigation. Additionally, basic controls for step sequencing are available, suitable for minor adjustments during live performances.

While the free version provides the classic color scheme (red-orange-yellow-green), upgrading to Launch Buttons Plus offers:

Full color support (RGB)
Sixteen extra function buttons (in addition to the existing sixteen)
Sixteen freely assignable knobs

Enjoy exploring the enhanced capabilities with Launch Buttons Plus!
