Novation Launchkey 25 MK4

Launchkey 25 is a powerful DAW controller with a range of built-in tools for creating. Every element has been designed to be musical, expressive and completely focused on the creative flow - from the synth keyboard to the 16 pads with polyphonic Aftertouch to the carefully designed control surface with knobs for deep DAW control. Play instruments and drums, launch clips and scenes and get instant, handy controls for your DAW's mixer, devices and effects . Launchkey also features a unique, editable arpeggiator, three chord modes for quickly creating musical progressions, a scale mode to keep you in key, and chord detection that shows which chord is currently being played on the OLED display. Launchkey 25 Be inspired by Launchkey 25 – a compact, all-in-one DAW controller with a two-octave synth keyboard with full-size keys , plus 16 patented FSR pads for finger drumming, clip launches, and more. The next generation of Launchkey also gives you new ways to get creative in your DAW, with hardware synths, or on iPhone and iPad. Chord, scale, and arpeggio modes have each been enhanced to keep you in key and play even more expressively – all with detailed feedback via the new, crisp OLED display. Improved DAW integration Launchkey supports all relevant DAWs, with seamless, custom integration for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio, and Ardour. This gives you hardware-controlled workflows, giving you full control over transport, timeline navigation, mixing, EQ, clip launching, and instrument and effect parameters. And when you're using Ableton Live's Session View or Live Loops in Logic, the 16 drum pads also perform Launchpad-style clip launching, with RGB backlighting that matches what you see on your screen. More powerful creative tools Launchkey 25's creative tools are built into the hardware itself - so they work the same in your DAW, with your hardware synth, or on your mobile devices. Scale mode now allows you to lock your keyboard in one of 30 different scales to eliminate wrong notes, or even map everything to the white keys alone. Fixed Chord mode triggers full chords with a single Key . New chord mappings take you to the next level, letting you create emotional progressions using Launchkey's pads. And the latest version of our popular arpeggiators makes it easier than ever to modify your sequences for endless inspiration. Ultra-responsive keybed and FSR pads The 25- keys synth keyboard is expressive, musical and fun to play. For finger drumming, Launchkey now offers our patented velocity-sensitive FSR drum pads with polyphonic Aftertouch. Unlike standard pads, each one features a unique radial sensor that increases sensitivity and optimises consistency for an even tighter performance. They can also be set to trigger chords or single notes with polyphonic Aftertouch . Play your own way with custom modes Launchkey's controls aren't limited to their standard assignments. Simply load the free Components software into your browser and configure them to behave exactly how you want your software or hardware to behave. You can save up to four custom mappings for each of Launchkey's pads and encoders, and recall them directly from the hardware to transmit the notes, MIDI CCs or program change messages you want. Beyond the computer Launchkey 25's five-pin MIDI output makes it easy to connect to your hardware synth - no DAW required. Combined with Components and the custom mappings, you can access key functions directly from your keyboard. Launchkey is USB powered and class compliant, making it fully compatible with countless music apps for iPhone and iPad - including Novation 's free Launchpad app. Everything you need to get creative Launchkey 25 comes with everything you need to start making music straight away. The included Ableton Live 12 Lite gives you the ability to record and perform music with up to eight MIDI or audio tracks and a range of instruments, effects and creative tools - all perfectly paired with Launchkey. You also get a selection of additional studio-quality effects and sounds from Novation and Focusrite.
