Novation Launchkey 37 MK3, MIDI Keyboard Controller

Novation MIDI Controller Keyboard, Launchkey 37 MK3 - Seamless Integration With Ableton live

​

Launchkey is our intuitive and fully integrated  MIDI keyboard controller for making tracks in Ableton Live and with your external equipment. The Launchkey experience is designed for players of all types and abilities. With Launchkey, regardless of experience, you can create and play your music like never before. With its various musical creation features, all of which can be used standalone, Launchkey removes barriers to creativity, and expands the musical vocabulary of even the most talented keyboardists. 

March 2024 Update - Version 1.2 enhances user experience by enabling the Play and Stop buttons to send Start/Stop messages via USB and MIDI outside of DAW environments, benefiting those working with external gear like sequencers. Additionally, controls now visually respond to incoming MIDI messages, indicating their states for Pads and Fader buttons, offering improved feedback. Users can now also select which Fader, Pad and Port modes will be used when the Launchkey powers on so they can instantly jump back into the action.
