Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 USB MIDI Keyboard Controller

Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 USB MIDI Keyboard Controller
Create and play your music like never before with the Novation Launchkey 49 MK4, the centrepiece of your live/studio rig. Hands-on control of all major DAWs, this  re-engineered model features 49 semi-weighted keys, and deep DAW integration.

MK4 Launchkey Series
The Launchkey has been re-engineered to look, feel, and play like an instrument — from the high-quality keybed and unique patented Launchpad-style FSR pads, to the continuous encoders and crisp, bright OLED display. Launchkey combines these elements with onboard creative tools that allow you to produce chord progressions, bass lines, melodies, and sequences with expression and speed.

Control Your Software
Now in its fourth generation, the new Launchkey features a redesigned interface that feels and plays as a musical instrument. Launchkey 49’s upgraded keybed is sensitive enough for the most delicate passages, but it’s also built to last. Now with 49 semi-weighted, waterfall-style keys, Launchkey gives you all the power of a software-based workflow with the feel of a premium hardware instrument. And for finger-drummers, Launchkey now sports a patented, velocity-sensitive FSR drum pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Unlike standard pads, each one features a unique, radial sensor that increases sensitivity and improves consistency for even tighter performances. Adjust DAW and plugin settings with precision using the continuous encoders and buttons for accurate control of your session. Launch clips and scenes, play drums and chords with our newly patented Launchpad-style pads and sequence drum racks, melodies, and chords in Ableton Live. Launchkey comes with everything you need to plug in and start making music straight away. Access to Ableton Live 12 Lite, along with a suite of instruments, effects, and creative tools — all seamlessly integrated to take you beyond just controlling your DAW.

Re-Imagine Your Creativity
Create pitch-perfect musical harmony and melody with Scale Mode, even without prior musical training. Choose from 30 different scales to inspire your creativity in new directions. Instantly capture and play fixed interval chords with Fixed Chord, and save your favourite chord sets or progressions with User Chord. Get your ideas flowing quickly with Chord Map, featuring 40 banks of eight well-voiced chords, all playable from Launchkey's pads. Find your rhythm with the enhanced Launchkey generative arpeggiator, enabling you to express and shape your sequence using the new eight-step editor.

Work Intuitively
Launchkey is crafted for music makers. The layout and workflow have been redesigned from the ground up to ensure hands-on control and compatibility with all major DAWs. Navigate through music sessions with precision. Rapidly access transport, mixer, and plugin controls without taking your hands off Launchkey, to stay in your creative flow. The bright OLED display ensures easy navigation and feedback of adjusted parameters and controls.
