The What's New page says they support the "Novation Launchpad Pro", but the picture beside that paragraph actually is the much more expensive "Novation Launchpad Pro [MK3]". (Ambiguous product names like this are mildly infuriating)
Does anyone know if both the cheaper and more expensive devices are compatible with Ardour 8?

- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoYour first link is to an older version of the Launchpad Pro that Novation no longer sells or makes. The Mk3 is the current version of the Launchpad Pro. As our release notes indicate, we hope/plan to announce support for the cheaper Launchpad X and Mini during the 8.x development process.

- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoIf you click on the "Add to basket" you will find that it is sold out, and if you dig deeper you will find you can only get refurbished units.

- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoI would not be surprised if the existing LP Pro support in Ardour 8 works with an older version, but they are fundamentally different devices. I can check on it whenever I get started on the mini and X versions.
- tao_at_garden 3y agoI definitely don't have the budget for a Mk3 but I can see a number of original Launchpad Pros and Mk2s for sale on local websites for not much money. Count me in as another person interested!
