<p>
Since version 8.0, Ardour has had extensive support for the Novation
Launchpad Pro Mk3, a relatively inexpensive grid/pad controller that
unlike some similar has its own internal capabilities in addition to
those provided by DAW interactions.
</p>
<h2>Connecting the Launchpad Pro</h2>
<p>
Plug the USB cable from the Launchpad Pro into a USB2 or USB3 port on your
computer.
</p>
<p>
The Push 2 will be automatically recognized by your operating
system, and will appear in any of the lists of possible MIDI ports
in both Ardour and other similar software.
</p>
<p>
Normally, Ardour should be able to automatically detect a connected Push 2
device. If it fails, open the Preferences dialog, and then click on "Control
Surfaces". Click on the "Enable" button in the line that says
"Launchpad Pro" in order to activate Ardour's Launchpad Pro support.
</p>
<p>
Once you select the input and output port, Ardour will initialize
the Launchpad Pro and it will be ready to use. You only need do this
once: once these ports are connected and your session has been
saved, the connections will be made automatically in this and other
future sessions.
