Launch Control XL 3's Settings page – Novation User Guides

Settings lets you adjust your Launch Control XL 3's workflow and hardware. The table below shows the available settings.

To access Settings, go to a Custom mode and press and hold both Track <> buttons for 300 milliseconds.

When you're in Settings:

To find a setting, press Page ▲▼ up and down.
Adjust the setting's value using the top-left encoder or the Track ◀▶ buttons. The screen shows the current value.

To exit Settings, press the Mode button and your Launch Control XL 3 returns to its previous state.

Setting	Value range	Description	Default value
Global MIDI Channel	1-16	Sets the global channel for Custom Mode controls.	1
MIDI Thru	On/Off	When on, it forwards all MIDI messages from the input to DIN output 2.	Off
LED Brightness	1-10	Controls the LED brightness.	8
Screen Brightness	1-10	Controls the screen brightness.	8
Display Timeout	1-10	Set how long temporary messages stay on screen.	3
Encoder Response	Slow Medium Fast	Sets how the encoders respond to how quickly you turn them. Fast mode lets you sweep the full range with a quick spin. Slow mode spreads the same range across more turns for added control. You can make precise changes by turning the encoders slowly on all settings. This affects all Custom Modes; it doesn't affect DAW modes.	Medium
Fader Pickup Type	Jump Pickup	In jump, the control instantly outputs MIDI when you move a fader. In pickup, the control only outputs MIDI when you move it to the position of the parameter you're controlling. This prevents sudden jumps in value. This affects all Custom Modes; it doesn't affect DAW modes.	Jump
