Compact Grid Controller Built for FL Studio Beatmaking
The Novation FLpad Mini brings the Launchpad-style 8x8 grid into FL Studio's workflow. Co-developed with Image-Line, this pad controller connects directly to Channel Rack so producers can trigger samples, step-sequence up to four instruments at once, and build Patterns without menu diving. Sixteen dedicated buttons handle transport, navigation, mode switching, and shift functions like octave transpose, tempo, and quantise.
Deep FL Studio Integration Without Menu Diving
What sets this apart is its direct link to FL Studio's core views. FPC, Slicex, and Fruity Slicer layouts turn the pads into a finger-drumming surface, while Channel Rack Mixer mode transforms the grid into a row of faders. Up to four Custom Modes, configured in Novation Components, map MIDI CCs, keystrokes, or plugin parameters to any pad.
