<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 Launchpad Pro 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
Launchpad Pro 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.
