Gear Hunter

Designed to create
Launchkey is an intuitive, fully integrated MIDI keyboard controller for creating tracks in Ableton Live. Designed to provide everything you need to create and perform your music, Launchkey caters to musicians of all levels and offers inspiring tools to enrich your musical vocabulary. Scale and Chord modes, along with a powerful arpeggiator, stimulate your creativity and help you generate new ideas. With its customizable modes and standard MIDI output, Launchkey becomes a powerful and central component of any musical setup.

Ableton Live integration
Launchkey gives you unparalleled access to Ableton Live features, including MIDI capture, track arming, quantization, metronome, and loop control. Don't use Ableton Live? No problem: Launchkey integrates seamlessly with Logic and Reason and is compatible with other digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Studio One, Cubase, and Pro Tools via HUI.

Develop your musical vocabulary
Among its inspiring features are Scale mode, Chord modes, and a powerful arpeggiator, which together expand your musical possibilities and allow you to create new ways. Scale mode transposes played keys and pads to the notes of the selected scale; three Chord modes allow you to trigger complex chords with a single finger, while the powerful arpeggiator adds dynamism to melodies.

Four model sizes
Available in 25, 37, 49, and 61-key versions, choosing the right size for you is easier than ever. The 25- and 37-key models are perfect for producers and artists on the go, as well as for compact setups. The 49- and 61-key versions are ideal for larger setups and for those who want more keys and more direct control thanks to the faders and fader buttons.

Custom modes: Control everything
The standard five-pin MIDI output is compatible with any MIDI device. Use Novation Components to configure four custom modes, which combine the Launchkey's potentiometers, faders, and pads with software and hardware functionality.

Autonomous operation
Launchkey operates independently, making it the ideal controller for any music creation setup, with or without a computer. Scale and Chord modes, an arpeggiator, and custom modes allow you to control a fully hardware-based system, in the studio or on stage.
