Novation Launchkey MK4 25-Note MIDI Controller Keyboard

The Launchkey 25 brings professional-grade music production within reach through its compact yet comprehensive design, featuring two octaves of full-size synth-action keys and 16 patented FSR pads for finger drumming and clip launching. This next-generation DAW controller introduces expanded Chord, Scale, and Arpeggio Modes that help musicians stay in key while performing with greater expression, all guided by feedback from the crisp new OLED display. The unit offers seamless integration with all major DAWs including Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio, and Ardour, providing complete control over transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing, EQ, and instrument parameters.

Built-in creative tools work consistently across your DAW, hardware synths, and mobile devices, with Scale Modes allowing you to lock the keyboard to any of 30 different scales or map everything to white keys only. Fixed Chord mode triggers complete chords from single keys, while new Chord Maps let you craft emotional progressions directly from the pads. The velocity-sensitive FSR drum pads feature unique radial sensors that boost sensitivity and consistency, supporting polyphonic aftertouch for more nuanced performances than standard pads can provide.

Customisation reaches new heights through the free Components browser software, enabling you to configure controls exactly as needed and store up to four custom mappings for both pads and encoders. The five-pin MIDI output connects directly to hardware synthesisers without requiring a DAW, while USB power and class compliance ensure compatibility with countless iPhone and iPad music apps. Your purchase includes Ableton Live 12 Lite with eight-track recording capability, plus a curated selection of studio-grade effects and sounds from Novation and Focusrite to get you started immediately.
