Launchpad can control other DAWs and plug-ins using Novation's Automap control software. Automap can assign controls to software parameters on VST/AU/RTAS & TDM plug-ins by simply clicking on them, and touching a controller! This works in almost any DAW, whether it has a 'Learn' function or not.

For example, Launchpad can be used to control Logic's Ultrabeat, Reason's Redrum and Pro Tools' Boom drum machine. Also, controlling 3rd party plug-ins like NI's Battery or Fxpansion's Guru with Launchpad is literally just one click and one button press away! 

Novation's Automap control software includes an on screen edit page showing you exactly what is assigned to what. 

You can also use Launchpad as a standard MIDI controller transmitting CC and MIDI note data from its 72 buttons.
