Find inspiration with Novation Launchkey 49 Mk4, a powerful, all-in-one DAW controller with four octaves of semi-weighted keys and 16 patented FSR pads for finger drumming, clip launching and more. You also get a bank of nine faders and eight endless rotary encoders for mixing, controlling plug-ins and performing with built-in creative tools. Beyond overhauled hardware and a refreshed, minimalist design, the next generation of Launchkey 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 expanded to help you stay in key and perform in even more expressive ways – all with detailed feedback from the crisp OLED display.
Launchkey supports all major DAWs right out the box, with seamless, custom integration for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio and Ardour. With these, you get a hardware-powered workflow that gives you full control of transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing and EQ, clip launching and instrument and effect parameters. And when using Ableton Live's Session View or Logic's Live Loops, the 16 drum pads double as Launchpad-style clip launchers with RGB backlights that perfectly match what you see on screen.
Launchkey 49 Mk4'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 Novation's 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.
Launchkey 49's creative tools are built into the hardware itself, so they work the same way in your DAW, with your hardware synths or on your mobile devices. Scale Modes now allow you to lock your keyboard to one of 30 different scales to eliminate wrong notes, or even map everything to just the white keys. Fixed Chord mode triggers full chords from a single key, and new Chord Maps take things further, allowing you to craft emotive progressions from Launchkey's pads. And the latest iteration of Novation's much-loved arpeggiator makes it easier than ever to twist and mutate your sequences for endless inspiration. Want to control more than one instrument at a time? You can split Launchkey 49 Mk4's keyboard into two zones and play one with each hand – or layer two MIDI channels across all 49 keys and send the same notes to both.
Launchkey's controls aren't limited to their default assignments; just load up the free Components companion software in your browser and configure them to behave exactly the way you want with your software or hardware. You can store up to four custom mappings each for Launchkey's faders, pads and encoders, and recall them instantly from the hardware to send your chosen notes, MIDI CCs or program changes.
Launchkey 49 Mk4's 5-pin MIDI output makes it easy to hook up your hardware synthesizer – no DAW required. Together with Components and custom mappings, you can take control of all its most important functions directly from your keyboard. Launchkey is also USB-powered and class compliant, so it's fully compatible with countless music-making apps for iPhone and iPad – including the free Novation Launchpad app.
Launchkey 61 comes with everything you need to plug in and start making music right away. Ableton Live 12 Lite gives you the ability to record and perform with up to eight tracks of MIDI or audio, as well as a suite of instruments, effects, and creative tools – and it all works perfectly with Launchkey. You also get a selection of additional studio-grade effects and sounds from Novation and Focusrite as well as a GForce bundle of virtual synth plug-ins, the Parallel Orchestras bundle from Orchestral Tools, two effects and a drum plug-in from Klevgrand and free Launchkey lessons from Melodics.
Wherever you happen to be in the world, you can rely on a three-year warranty if any Novation hardware needs repairing or replacing due to a manufacturing fault.
