Description
The Launchkey 37 MIDI keyboard controller is your creative tool for intuitive music production with Ableton Live. It offers semi-weighted keybeds, velocity-sensitive pads, assignable knobs, and essential transport controls, suitable for all genres and experience levels.
This controller includes creative features like Scale and Chord modes for staying in key, an arpeggiator for exploring new melodies, and mutation capabilities to evolve your musical ideas. It’s designed for Ableton Live with full integration into Logic and Reason, and it also works out-of-the-box with other software.
Ableton Live Integration
Launchkey gives you unrivalled access to Ableton Live’s functions, including Capture MIDI, track arm, quantise, click and loop controls. Not using Ableton Live? No problem, Launchkey also has full integration with Logic, Cubase and Reason, plus out of the box functionality with other DAWs including Studio One and Pro Tools, via HUI.
Expand Your Musical Vocabulary
Inspirational features include Scale Mode, Chord Modes and a powerful arpeggiator, which together extend your musical capabilities and let you create in new ways. Scale Mode transposes keys and pads played to notes in the scale selected; three chord modes let you trigger complex chords with one finger, while the powerful arpeggiator gets melodies moving, fast. Strum Mode, introduced with firmware v1.1, lets you strum chords, for even more playing potential.
Standalone Operation
Launchkey works standalone, so it’s the perfect controller for any music-making setup, with or without a computer. The Scale and Chord Modes, arpeggiator and Custom Modes can all be used to control an all-hardware studio or live rig.
