Experience Superior Playability with a Responsive Keybed
The Novation Launchkey MK4’s synth-style keyboard offers a superior playing experience with its highly responsive keybed. Engineered for both comfort and control, this keyboard allows for nuanced performance, from delicate touches to powerful strokes. Whether you're crafting intricate melodies or laying down robust chords, the Launchkey MK4 ensures that every keystroke is captured with clarity and precision.
Advanced DAW Control – No Setup Required
One of the standout features of the Launchkey MK4 series is its in-depth DAW control. Out of the box, the MK4 integrates seamlessly with major DAWs like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, and Reason. This means you can dive straight into making music without spending time on tedious setup processes.
Tweak and Customize with Ease
With eight continuous encoders and, depending on the model, up to nine faders (on the Launchkey 49 & Launchkey 61), you have powerful control over your DAW mixers, virtual instruments, and effects. These controls can be customized with user mappings through Novation’s Components software, allowing for a tailored experience that fits your unique workflow.
Expressive Performance with Velocity-Sensitive Pads
The Launchkey MK4 series features 16 velocity-sensitive pads equipped with polyphonic aftertouch. These pads are perfect for playing drums, instruments, launching clips, and working with grids. The sensitivity and dynamic range of the pads ensure that every hit, tap, and release is captured with precision.
Create Chords and Patterns Effortlessly
Creating complex musical progressions is made simple with the Launchkey MK4’s powerful built-in arpeggiator and three Chord Modes: Fixed Chord, User Chord, and Chord Maps. These tools allow you to experiment with chords and patterns, unlocking new possibilities in your music production.
Stay in Key with Smart Features
Never worry about hitting a wrong note again. The Scale Mode locks notes on the keyboard to the correct key, while the Chord Detector displays the current chord you're playing on the OLED screen. This visual representation makes it easier to stay in key and ensures your compositions sound harmonious.
Connect and Expand Your Setup
The Launchkey MK4 series is not just limited to DAW control. It also features a full-size MIDI out port for connecting to synths and other MIDI hardware. For those using iPhones or iPads, the MK4 works seamlessly with these devices as well. Custom mappings can be created quickly and easily with Novation’s Components software, making it simple to integrate the MK4 into any setup.
