ONE ECOSYSTEM
Performance flow
Two encoder banks per channel
Two encoder banks per channel extend each channel to 6 controls — without breaking muscle memory.
Move between instruments and mixer instantly
Modes 1-10 control your instruments, 11-14 – your mixer. One hotkey jumps between both sides instantly, returning you to the exact page you left.
To previousInstrument
Build. Shape. Rebuild your FX
Use CC12 to control the intensity of send effects across the whole set. When it’s time for the next section, CC44 resets sends and restores send values.
Navigate your rig from the keyboard
Map your keyboard to jump between instruments, mixer pages, and utilities without touching the mouse or your controller.

FAQ
Everything else you may want to know.
No — MK3 only. Earlier models use a different architecture.
Drop Control XL.amxd into any existing Live Set — it reads your track layout immediately. The starter set demonstrates the workflow, not a replacement for your project. Why mappings don’t carry between Live Sets →
Modes 1–10 stay yours — load our instrument layouts over them or keep your own; the device only needs the cross-mode jump (CC47) and Undo/Redo (CC45–CC46) present in each. Modes 11–14 are overwritten with the mixer layout, and mode 15 holds the cue layout for Prelisten.
Yes — it ships as an .amxd device. If your Live edition includes M4L, you're set.
In Live's MIDI preferences (Link · Tempo · MIDI), switch on Track and Remote for both the Launch Control XL input and output ports. Without them Live won't route the controller to Control XL and nothing will respond.
One key, three activations.
