Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 Key MIDI Keyboard Controller
Although this line of controllers started with a close association with Live, it has continued to evolve into a fantastic controller for any DAW. This is a powerful controller with a suite of onboard creation tools. Every element has been designed to feel musical, expressive, and razor focused on creative flow; from the semi-weighted keybed and 16 pads with polyphonic aftertouch, to the carefully laid out control surface with in-depth DAW integration. Play instruments and drums, launch clips and scenes, and get instant hands-on control of your DAW’s mixer, devices, and effects. Launchkey also has a unique, editable Arpeggiator, three Chord Modes to quickly create musical progressions, a Scale Mode that keep you in the right key, and a Chord Detector that shows what chord is currently being played on the OLED display.
In-depth DAW control: Powerful control of Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, Reason, and more, with no set-up required. Tweak your software: Eight encoders deliver instant control over DAW mixers, virtual instruments, and effects; user mappings can also be created for customised control. Expressive mini-keybed: The 25-note synth-style mini keyboard is responsive and sensitive. Play drums and instruments: 16 velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch for playing drums and instruments, as well launching clips and working with grids.
Powerful tools for creating chords and patterns: Powerful built-in Arpeggiator and three Chord Modes to easily create musical progressions: Fixed Chord, User Chord, and Chord Maps. Always stay in key: Scale Mode locks notes on the keyboard into right key, and Chord Detector shows what chord is currently being played, with visual representation on the OLED display.
Connect to other instruments: Launchkey Mini 25 can be connected directly to synths and other MIDI hardware with its mini-jack MIDI out port; it also works with your iPhone or iPad.
