Launchpad/Q/What are Novation Launchpad Pro packs?
- Seen in the Projects tab of Novation Components at
components.novationmusic.com/launchpad-pro-mk3/projects, with New Pack, My Packs, Novation Packs, Get Pack from Launchpad Pro [MK3], Create Pack and Upload Pack. - Short answer: a pack is how Novation Components handles the Launchpad Pro's sequencer Projects as one set. Get Pack reads the Projects off the device in one go, and the set can be saved to your Novation account or your computer. This comes from a search summary of Novation's Launchpad Pro Mk3 Components guide; the page itself refused automated fetches, so it has not been read word for word.
- What goes in it: Projects. A Project stores the sequencer's Patterns, Scenes, scale and root, track types and track MIDI channels, and the device has 64 Project slots (Launchpad/UG/09 Sequencer/12 Projects). The user guide says Components can back up Projects online (Launchpad/UG/09 Sequencer/12 Projects/02 Backup).
- The buttons, read from the screenshot:
- Get Pack from Launchpad Pro [MK3] — copy the device's current Projects into Components.
- Create Pack / New Pack — start an empty pack in Components.
- Upload Pack — load a pack file from your computer.
- My Packs — packs you have saved to your account.
- Novation Packs — packs Novation supplies.
- These roles follow from the labels; only Get Pack is confirmed by the search summary.
- Not the same as:
- Update 2026-11-08: the Components guide, read in a browser, says Projects are uploaded as a SysEx file, each slot can be got or sent on its own, and Send to Launchpad Pro Mk3 sends the whole bank. See Launchpad/Q/Can I define sequencer Projects programmatically, or do I have to use Novation Components?.
- Still open: whether a pack always holds all 64 slots, and the byte layout of the pack file.
