The Pro also has an array of new modes that allow dynamic control over Live:
Session Mode: immediately trigger and combine your clips – this is the traditional view that everyone is used to
Note Mode: create dynamic beats and play the grid just like an instrument. Launchpad Pro automatically switches the layout for drum or instrument devices. With drums, all your sounds are available, spread across the whole 8 x 8 grid. With instruments, the grid illuminates as a chromatic keyboard, enabling you to easily play notes, melodies, and chords.
Device Mode: easily apply effects to your performance. Control any effect or instrument mid-performance to add engaging, expressive effects like reverb, beat repeats and filters. For super smooth effect transitions, the button grid also turns into eight velocity-sensitive vertical faders, with LED feedback – the harder you hit the pad, the faster the transition.
User Mode: create unique custom performances and layouts
