Does anybody have this controller yet? How is it working with Bitwig 6?
https://novationmusic.com/products/launch-control
I had the Launchcontrol XL MK3 but was not keen on the faders and the overal size a tad to big. The Launchcontrol seems to fit my needs perfectly without the faders and 16 endless encoders only and really compact. How is the bitwig script? For me the script of the XL was without bugs hopefully it is the same for the launchcontrol MK3 aswell.
I'm tempting to buy it but like to hear your experience!

For anyone interested and to answer my own questions, i just received the Launchcontrol MK3 and it works flawlessly. Absolutely love the encoders with its accelerating behaviour. The encoders feel great. And the script is without bugs aswell as it seems sofar.
I dont miss the faders at all compared with the XL model.
The Bitwig script seems to have one extra feature compared to use within Ableton, when holding the novation button you get extra transport controls and you can launch scenes.
Love the small build factor aswell, and the feedback on the LCD screen.
Great small controller.

I couldnt live without the faders, lol. The small one wouldnt work for me, so I picked up the XL MK3 a month or so back.
Im surprised to hear the "novation button" actually does something on your LC lol! The XL MK3's novation button has not been defined yet, and Im really hoping they define some extra transport controls, maybe a soft power-off, etc, on that button. Soon.

My experience with script support for external controllers is not the best experience unfortunately. But the transport control it should be easy to implement with the XL version aswellMilkman wrote: Wed Apr 15, 2026 11:39 pm I couldnt live without the faders, lol.
