NOVATION Launchkey 61 MK4
The Novation Launchkey MK4 is the fourth generation of one of the world's most popular MIDI keyboard controller series. The main change and improvement over the previous version is the new keybed, which is better balanced and mimics the action of an acoustic piano, while the new key profile offers improved playability. The larger models (49 and 61) also feature individual coil springs for each key, providing a smoother and more consistent feel when pressed. The Novation Launchkey 61 is a powerful DAW controller with a semi-weighted waterfall-type keyboard, eight continuous encoders, nine faders and 16 velocity-sensitive pads for finger drumming and launching clips. The controller also includes creative Chord and Scale modes, which work with the OLED display to help you easily stay in key.

16 drum pads
Advanced DAW control is one of the key features where the Launchkey excels. Seamless control of Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, Reason and Ardour is available right out of the box, with no setup required. You get hardware-assisted controls that give you full command of transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing and EQ, clip launching, and instrument and effect parameters. And when using Session View in Ableton Live or Live Loops in Logic, the 16 drum pads become Launchpad-style clip launchers with RGB backlighting that perfectly matches what you see on screen. You can also create custom mappings for personalised control using the free Components software.
Scale mode
The 16 velocity-sensitive pads feature polyphonic aftertouch for playing drums and instruments and launching clips. Unlike standard pads, each of the Launchkeys features a unique radial sensor that increases sensitivity and improves consistency for even better performances. The creative features are built right into the hardware, so they work just as well in your DAW, with hardware synths, or on your mobile devices. Scale mode now lets you lock the keyboard to one of 30 different scales to eliminate wrong notes, or even map all notes to just the white keys. Fixed Chord mode triggers full chords from a single key, and the new Chord Maps go even further, enabling you to create emotive progressions from the Launchkey pads.
Compatible with iOS mobile devices
The latest iteration of the brilliant arpeggiator makes creating sequences for endless inspiration easier than ever. You can split the Launchkey 61 keyboard into two zones and play one with each hand, or layer two MIDI channels across all 61 keys and send the same notes to both. The Launchkey controllers feature a classic analogue MIDI output, so you can easily use them to play with sound modules, samplers or synthesisers. Being USB-powered, they are also fully compatible with iOS mobile devices, where you can use the free Novation Launchpad app.
