8 assignable buttonsNo more endless clicking — Launch Control’s eight colour-coded buttons link to your DAW tracks, letting you switch focus between them and quickly select. solo, mute, or arm. Assign them to any hardware switch or parameter, send MIDI notes and CCs, program changes, keystrokes, and more.

FosfatBring your drums to life with Klevgrand’s transient fertilisation plugin, Fosfat. Following the dynamics of your audio, it adds new layers of tone and texture — delivering low-end power, high-end sparkle, and the punch your beats deserve.
Parallel AggressorBaby Audio’s supercharged parallel saturation and compression plugin has garnered rave reviews for good reason; it’s easy to use, endlessly flexible, and — most importantly — it sounds incredible. Use it to add impact and punch while retaining the dynamics of your original track.
MovementAdd evolving rhythms to anything you like; Movement’s four powerful rhythm generators modulate a suite of creative effects, from filters and EQs to delays and distortion, to liven up even the most static of sounds.
