Novation Launchkey Mini 37 MK4

Novation Launchkey Mini 37 is a compact USB MIDI controller for DAW software with a 3-octave mini synth-action keyboard, eight 360° encoders, and 16 velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch for finger drumming and clip launching. It includes creative Chord, Scale, and arpeggiator generation modes with a step editor. High-intelligibility OLED display.
Your inspiration will travel anywhere with Launchkey Mini 37, a portable and complete DAW software controller, featuring a three-octave mini synth-action keyboard and 16 patented FSR pads for finger drumming, clip launching, and much more. The new generation of Launchkey also provides new tools for creating music in your favorite music production software on PC and Mac computers, on iPhone and iPad, or for remote control of your hardware synthesizers. The Chord, Scale, and Arpeggiator modes have been expanded to help you stay consistent with your project's scale and perform even more expressively – with rich visual feedback on the new, crisp OLED screen.
GForce Bass Station Plug-in Free!
The ultimate virtual version of the classic '90s mono-synth with a host of new features: 16 voices, over 300 presets, built-in arpeggiator and sequencer, effects, and much more. GForce Bass Station offers enormous versatility and creative potential. Available as a standalone application on Mac and PC, supporting AU, AAX, VST, and VST3 formats.
Improved DAW Integration
Launchkey immediately supports all popular DAW software, with perfect and customizable integration for: Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studios, and Ardour. With this software, you get a hardware-based workflow that gives you full control over transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing and equalization, clip launching, and effect and instrument parameters. And when using Ableton Live's Session View or Logic's Live Loops, the 16 drum pads also act as launch buttons for Launchpad-style clips, with RGB backlighting perfectly matching what you see on screen.
More Powerful Creative Tools
The creative tools of the Launchkey Mini 37 are integrated into the hardware itself – so they work the same way in the DAW, with hardware synthesizers, or with mobile devices. Scale modes now allow you to lock your keyboard to a chosen scale from 30 different scales, so you can eliminate wrong notes or map everything only to white keys. Fixed Chord mode allows playing a full chord from a single key; the new Chord Maps mode, however, goes beyond this and allows creating emotionally charged progressions from the Launchkey's pads. And in this latest iteration of our beloved arpeggiator, it's easier than ever to distort and mutate sequences for endless inspiration.
Extremely Responsive and Expressive FSR Pads
For finger drumming, Launchkey now features our patented, velocity-sensitive FSR drum pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Unlike traditional pads, each is equipped with a unique radial sensor that increases sensitivity and improves consistency for even more precise performance. Furthermore, they can also be set to trigger chords or individual notes with polyphonic aftertouch.
New Custom Modes
Launchkey's controls are not limited by predefined assignments; simply load the free Components software in your browser and configure them to work exactly as you wish, with software or hardware. Up to four custom mappings can be stored for both the Launchkey's pads and encoders and recalled instantly from the hardware to send chosen notes, MIDI CCs, or program changes.
Not Just Computers with Launchkey MK4
Thanks to the Launchkey Mini 37's 3.5mm minijack MIDI output, it's easy to connect hardware synthesizers via an adapter without needing a DAW. Together with Components and custom mappings, you can control all the most important features directly from the keyboard. Furthermore, Launchkey does not require additional drivers, so it is fully compatible with countless apps used to create music on iPhone and iPad – including the free Novation Launchpad app.
Everything You Need to Create
The Launchkey Mini 37 keyboard controller with pads includes everything you need to start creating music right away. The included DAW, Ableton Live 12 Lite, allows you to record and perform with up to eight MIDI or audio tracks, in addition to a range of instruments, effects, and creative tools – and it works perfectly with Launchkey. Plus, you also get a selection of additional professional-grade effects and sounds from Novation and Focusrite.
