DJ Controllers

The Novation Launchpad S was announced earlier this month as the successor MIDI controller to the original Novation Launchpad which allows DJ's and Performers to control Ableton Live or any other performance with great precision and ease. The new Novation Launchpad S has 64 Tri-Colored Pads, brighter LED's, and a faster refresh rate than the original and it also works nicely with the iPad. The Lauchpad S also comes bundled with a version of Ableton Live so that users can start performing and creating music right out of the box. Check out the press release & Video after the jump.

Novation, the creators of the popular Dicer Media Controllers, has now thrown its hat into the all-in-one controller market by introducing the Novation Twitch at this year's Musikmesse 2011. This new controller comes bundled with Serato Itch and is noticeably lacking something that all the other controllers have. They've created a controller WITHOUT the use of jog wheels or platters! But they do some cool things with touchstrips that will still have DJ's grinning from ear to ear. More inside.

Production

Novation has just released the latest and most powerful version of Automap for Music-Producers. The v4.3 update brings support for Logic Express, Studio One, Digital Performer and Reaper, adding to the list of other supported DAWs including Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Reason and Ableton Live. It also improves plug-in performance with Ableton Live and re-introduces the popular Follow Focus feature, which enables you to automatically focus on the plug-in you are currently using. All this means that you can now use Novation Automap when making beats for even more versatility. Press release and video inside.

Our people's over at Novation aren't exclusively in the DJ controller business. They also create some nice production products for the computer as well. Introducing their new Impulse USB MIDI keyboard line that are available in 25, 49, or 61-key models. Each keyboard has a large LCD display, eight rotary encoders, eight drum pads, and semi-weighted after-touch keys. All of the knobs, buttons, faders, and sliders can be mapped to the production software of your choice making the Impulse keyboards extremely versatile. Details inside.
