Novation has announced the release of the Launchpad for iPad, a free music performance app.
The app follows some of the key features from the ‘Launchpad’ hardware, now used by many of the world’s famous DJs and performers, but strips out much of the complexity.
Together with the Launchkey app, they transform Novation’s new Launchkey hardware into a synth and loop triggering workstation for performing and producing music with your iPad. The launch pads on the Launchkey hardware trigger loops in the app and you can get hands-on control of levels with Launchkey’s physical faders.
The Launchpad app comes with a specially assembled sample pack that has been put together by world leading sample producers: Loopmasters.
