## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value for the money.  Great for VCV Rack
*by C***H on July 20, 2020*

Plug play right out of the box. I do recommend updating the firmware however. I can't rate support because I have not needed them.I tested on Windows and Linux, ,no issues at all with drivers or other connectivity problems.For my application it works great. I am able to map the sliders and nobs and buttons to VCV Rack with no issue.The unit is plastic but with a metal feel. It is very solid, does not feel cheap. Small foot print saves space but its not so small that its difficult to deal with. Everything has a good feel the action is smooth with slight resistance, Just enough to feel comfortable.I really don't think you can beat this for the price. I just wish someone would make a unit specific to VCV.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great controller that replaced my Akai APC Mini
*by G***X on March 22, 2022*

I originally bought an Akai Midimix, but ended up returning it for the Launch Control XL. I have been very happy with the decision. While the Launch Control costs more, it feels like a better quality piece of gear. I read a lot of reviews that said this, and they were right. The knobs and faders on the Akai feel cheap in comparison. The biggest advantage the Launch Control has over the Midimix is that it is very customizable. You can even save presets on the Novation.I use the Launch Control XL with a Launchpad X, and the two devices together are amazingly capable. There are very few features I would want that are not available when using these two devices together.The Novation costs about $50 more than the Akai, but I feel like the price difference is well worth it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ But how are the knobs? They're excellent!
*by A***R on March 31, 2021*

I'm an amateur enthusiast and beginner, working in Ableton. I’ve had this for about a month now and I’m very happy with it!Let’s get to the main thing I wanted to know: are the knobs and sliders any good? They are surprisingly good! They have a nice smooth resistance. The entire unit feels very sturdy. I’m not a pro, but I know many pro DJs and performers, and I’m the son of a professional musician. I would confidently tell any of them that this product is durable and worthy of use at a gig.In general this product exceeded my expectations of quality. Set up for Ableton is actual, factual, PnP, right out of the box.
