Novation Launchkey MK4 61-Note MIDI Controller Keyboard

The Launchkey 61 puts five octaves of semi-weighted keys and cutting-edge creative technology at your fingertips, making it the ultimate all-in-one DAW controller for modern music production. This next-generation controller features 16 patented FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch for finger drumming and clip launching, plus nine faders and eight endless rotary encoders for comprehensive mixing and plugin control. The refreshed minimalist design houses an upgraded keybed with waterfall-style keys that's sensitive enough for delicate passages yet built to withstand intensive use.

Creative tools are built directly into the hardware, working seamlessly across your DAW, hardware synths, or mobile devices. Scale Modes lock your keyboard to any of 30 different scales to eliminate wrong notes, while Fixed Chord mode triggers full chords from single keys. The new Chord Maps let you craft emotive progressions from the pads, and Novation's enhanced arpeggiator makes it simple to twist and mutate sequences. All functions provide detailed feedback through the crisp new OLED display.

Out-of-the-box compatibility with all major DAWs includes seamless custom integration for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio, and Ardour. This gives you hardware-powered control over transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing, EQ, and instrument parameters. When using Ableton Live's Session View or Logic's Live Loops, the 16 drum pads function as Launchpad-style clip launchers with RGB backlights that match your screen display. The package includes Ableton Live 12 Lite with eight-track recording capability, plus additional studio-grade effects and sounds from Novation and Focusrite.
