Novation Launchkey 25 MK2 Keyboard Controller

Launchkey is an easy-to-use MIDI keyboard controller. It’s the fastest and easiest way to create and perform electronic music, especially in Ableton Live because it’s designed specifically for that purpose. Simply connect via USB and the keys, faders, knobs and pads instantly come to life, giving you hands-on control over your system, devices, effects and mixer.

At the heart of any MIDI keyboard controller is the keyboard itself. The Launchkey synth-style keyboard is lightweight, fast, and easy to operate, yet responsive, so you can create a wide range of great performances. You can choose between 25, 49, and 61-key versions, depending on whether you want compactness or practicality.

16 RGB pads with responsive color and gliding speed enhance your workflow, letting you create and launch clips, sample, adjust FX, and load more; all while tapping the keys. The keys are incredibly responsive, so you can put emotion into every touch.

Launchkey is designed to help you shape your sound the way you want. 8 solid knobs give you confidence when tweaking your gear and effects. The 49 and 61-key versions also give you real mixer control, with 9 dedicated faders. However you choose to adjust, it all integrates seamlessly and instantly with Ableton Live and can be transferred anywhere.

Your choice of software really plays a key role in your creativity. While Novation designed Launchkey for Ableton Live, the pads, buttons, faders, and knobs that control all other major music software use InControl too.

Launchkey is completely USB powered and plug-and-play, so it works right out of the box with no power or drivers required on your Mac or PC. It has everything you need to create electronic music.
