- Make Launchkey your own: 4 custom modes enable you to create unique control setups for any performance or studio rig using free Novation Components software
Firmware v1.1 introduces Strum Mode, an easy-to-use inspirational tool to help ignite that creative spark and add an extra dimension to melody making. Users can hold down notes and trigger Strum Mode using the mod wheel on Launchkey 25 MK3. Strum Mode can also be used alongside other arpeggiator modes to really ramp up your musical imagination.
Eight scale modes guide you into new musical territory by transposing keys played to notes in the scale selected: simply choose your root note and your preferred scale, then play. Three chord modes transform the keys and pads into an interactive surface of musical exploration where every note played is tonally and harmonically linked. The arpeggiator lets you explore new melodies and find ideas quickly, while the mutate function reconstructs your patterns into exciting new forms.
Custom modes simplify the relationship between controller and software, with more power than ever in your hands. Programmable using the Novation Components browser-based tool, custom modes let you design the behavior of your Launchkey with control assignments, MIDI routing, pad colors and much more.
Launchkey 25 MK3 is equipped with a full-size five-pin DIN MIDI output, enabling simple connection to a universe of MIDI devices both new and old. Coupled with its prodigious standalone functionality, Launchkey is now the centerpiece of your live or studio rig, with or without a computer.
Novation's Launchkey platform has always been about flexibility, something the MK3 revision adopts as its watchword. Large velocity-sensitive pads provide greater control over dynamics, while eight fixed rotary knobs bring software to life at your fingertips. Launchkey's integration with Ableton Live is truly seamless, with a dedicated button for activating the Capture MIDI function, plus track arm, quantize, click and loop controls for flying around your session faster than ever.
Not an Ableton Live user? No problem! Launchkey 25 MK3 also has full integration with Logic and Reason, plus out of the box functionality via HUI with other DAWs including Studio One, Cubase and Pro Tools.
