Made To Create

Launchkey is an intuitive and fully integrated MIDI keyboard controller for making tracks in Ableton Live, designed to give you everything you need to create and play your music. Made for creators of all abilities, Launchkey gives you inspirational tools to expand your musical vocabulary. Scale and Chord modes and a powerful arpeggiator push your musical creativity and help start new ideas. Custom Modes and a full-size MIDI output transform Launchkey into a powerful centrepiece of any music-making setup.

FEATURES

  • Deepest Ableton Live integration in its category: Immediate access to all the controls you need.
  • Create and play with feeling: Velocity-sensitive keyboard and 16 velocity-sensitive pads enable expressive and dynamic performance.
  • Get creative with chords: Three chord modes (fixed, scale and user) let you trigger chords with one finger.
  • Never hit a wrong note: Scale modes transpose keys and pads to notes in the selected scale.
  • Capture MIDI: One-touch access to Ableton Live’s Capture MIDI feature means you’ll never lose an idea.
  • Get melodies moving: Powerful arpeggiator takes you to new melodic, harmonic and rhythmic places.
  • Control anything MIDI: Five-pin MIDI output works with any MIDI-compatible device.
  • Make Launchkey your own: Four Custom Modes enable you to create unique control setups for any performance or studio rig, using Novation Components.
  • Shape your sound: Tweak instruments and effects to perfection using eight rotary encoders and (on 49- and 61-key models) nine 45mm faders.
  • Easy-to-read screen: 16x2 character screen lets you easily see the state of what you’re controlling or selecting.
  • Choose from four model sizes: 25-, 37-, 49- and 61-key variants let you pick the perfect controller for your setup.
  • Make music immediately: Free software, including Ableton Live 10 Lite, virtual instruments, plugins and sample packs let you start creating straight away.

Four Model Sizes

Available in 25-, 37-, 49- and 61-key variants, it’s easier than ever to pick the size that suits. 25- and 37-key models are perfect for mobile producers and performers, and for those in tight setups. 49- and 61-key versions are ideal for larger setups, and for those who want more keys, and greater hands-on control with faders and fader buttons.
