Description
- Launchkey Mini offers the essence of Novation’s popular MIDI keyboard controller range in a compact and portable form. This MIDI keyboard controller is designed for use with Ableton Live and provides a wide range of creative features in a highly portable package.
Your Tracks, Your Way
Step back from the screen and feel the beats. Launchkey Mini’s deep and intuitive integration with Ableton Live lets you move where the music takes you. Transport, device and mixer controls mean fewer mouse clicks. Device macros and mixer controls mean more hands-on control of your music. Launchkey Mini puts the sounds from your head into your hands.
Get Creative
Get new melodies, rhythms and sounds flying from your fingertips with Launchkey Mini’s easy yet powerful arpeggiator. Fixed Chord mode takes your ideas further, adding a customisable fixed chord shape that follows you up the keyboard. Add dynamic, expressive rhythms with 16 super-sensitive pads for drumming and clip launch. Plug straight into Ableton Live, get your ideas down and create - Launchkey Mini gets any track moving.
Standalone Operation
Launchkey works standalone, so it’s the perfect controller for any music-making setup, with or without a computer. Fixed Chord Mode, arpeggiator and Custom Modes can all be used to control an all-hardware studio or live rig.
It’s An Instrument – Play It
Launchkey Mini features a completely new mini-keymech – our finest to date – and is great to play. Two touch strips for pitch and mod let you really feel your sounds. For even more playing potential, you can strum chords with Strum Mode. The 16 RGB pads are super-sensitive for precise, dynamic and nuanced drumming. Connect your sustain pedal and add even more expression to your playing. Launchkey Mini feels as good as it looks.
Intuitive Ableton Live Control: Deep and intuitive control of Ableton Live, including device macro control, track selection, recording, MIDI capture, clip and scene launching, and more.
Creative Arpeggiator: A powerful arpeggiator with easy-to-use yet deep control options for rhythm, beat, pattern, octave, gate, and more.
Chord Play: Play chords with a single finger by assigning a fixed chord shape to the keys, which transposes as you move up and down the keyboard.
