Imagine a Tenori-On that controlled Ableton, or a Monome with more features, or pretend for a moment God came down from heaven, walked into an electro club, and gave you the Ableton Novation Launchpad. It’s the second piece of dedicated, official Ableton hardware, and it looks like they nailed it. Oh, and by the way, it’s expected to cost $199 bundled with Ableton Live 8. Obviously I haven’t used one, but from the looks of the demo video, this little bastard is a full-featured, easy to use, tactile piece of equipment. Video after the break.
