Best Regards, Kieron Deane Novation Technical Support **Q: Is it compatible whith hp stream** A: Hello, The Launchpad Mini is compatible with Windows 10. Since the HP Stream is running Windows 10 and has USB ports it should work. Best regards, Novation Support **Q: Does it come with 2 months of splice sounds membership and all the other included software advertised on the website (aas bundle, xln keys...)? thanks** A: Hello, Yes, the Launchpad X comes with 2 months of Splice Sounds and a variety of bundled plugins, including the AAS Bundle and XLN Addictive keys. Best, Pedro // Novation Technical Support **Q: Where is the on/off button?** A: Hi, It doesn't have an On/Off button - it is powered by USB so to turn it off you just need to disconnect the USB cable. Best regards, Laurence // Novation ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent midi controller *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 October 2024* I have used this with the Launchpad apps on iPhone and iPad and also with Ableton 11 and 12. It is configured already so you just plug in and play. It is very useful and makes for a great workflow including for recording in Ableton.There are different layouts such as keyboard and drum pad as well as the main one for launching loops and you can add a custom one as there is free software available for editing the custom configurations.It is very easy to learn how to use and you could get a lot out of it as your sole MIDI controller. It is compact, good build quality. It came bundled with some decent software (Ableton live lite if I recall correctly).You could just use it as a toy with the launchpad app and kids will enjoy it for that alone but you can squeeze a lot of functionality in Ableton from it also. It won’t be much use for finer controlling of software synths and for finger drumming you may want larger pads, and there are no moving parts as such like faders or knobs, but you get what you pay for. Paired with a decent drum pad controller or something like the Midimix it is a great buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Music Making Tool *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 August 2025* I've had the Mini's big brother the Launchpad MK3 for around 18 months now and use it constantly, in fact I prefer it to a keyboard when creating music.However, it is quite large and so was difficult to take around with me on occasions, especially if I had other bits and pieces with me.Had my eye on the Mini since Christmas and recently took the plunge.I was amazed on delivery at Just how "mini" it actually is. Wasn't expecting something so small.I was disappointed at first. I expected reduced functionality- no chord mode - but wasn't prepared for the keys layout, Chromatic only. When using the bigger Launchpad I don't use a Chromatic keyboard. Its set out as per my pic.Anyway, took a while, but I created my own custom mode in Components and assigned a midi note/octave per pad using the same colour scheme. Happy now.Plug and play, recognised as soon. As I plugged in the supplied USB cable.Anyway, the Mini is terrific. You really should buy one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As capable, or more so, than the Mk 2 full size with the form factor of the Mini *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 12 January 2021* I bought this because my Mk2 LP, althogh lovely to look at, is a bit to big for my stage setup and occcasionally fell off the synth I generally put it on.Points to note- Has full RGB, a little fainter than a full size version, but still easily visible under stage lighting.- in clip launch mode the bottom right button is no longer a scene launcher but toggles track arm/mute/solo. I didn't find this change a problem (though I thought i might)- Components is fantastic allowing easy customisation of the user screens, really useful feature. If you configure it for faders it is more sensitive than the older models doing roughly 1.5dB increments rather than 6 if you tap repeatedly.- It's true plug and play with Ableton Live, no need to go into control surfaces to set it up- The session overview (which enables you to scroll 8 rows at a time instead of 1 seems initially to be missing (it used to be accessible on older models by holding down the session button but that now does something else). However the support team helped me out, this is now accessible by double tapping session instead of tap and hold.Obviously it's not as fully featured as the X and the Pro, and the buttons are not velocity sensitive, but if you want a very capable and cheap clip launcher that can be readily customised for other uses this is probaly it.Will also apparently work in Logic Pro X for triggering Apple Loops, there is a setup in Components to do that, but i have not tested it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Novation Launchpad Mini [MK3] — Portable MIDI 64-Pad, USB Grid Controller for Ableton Live and Logic Pro Performances - LTGEM Case for Novation Launchpad Mini [MK3] Grid Controller - Akai Professional MPK Mini MK3 - 25 Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller With 8 Backlit Drum Pads, 8 Knobs, Music Production Software and Native Instruments Sound Package (NKS Integration), Grey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/161963022-novation-launchpad-mini-mk3-midi-usb-grid-controller-usb-64](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/161963022-novation-launchpad-mini-mk3-midi-usb-grid-controller-usb-64) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
