Launchkey mini MK3, let's make a song

Today, Novation launched the new version of their Launchkey mini keyboard. The Launchkey mini mk3 (or mkiii if you will). They sent me one in advance if I promised to make a song with it, so I did!

Drum layout:

I feel like this should be an additional track for Animal Crossing when you’re just hanging out on someone’s island. Love this so much!

[madsad]

amazing how simple some people can make this look, that is some groovy tunes my man

[_herb]

so great to hear this product being used to demo a genre other than EDM or trap, i love the sound of your musical style!

[ZeraKonno]

This is the reason I’m buying this little piece of work! Sure I had a few hip hop ideas but now after watching this I actually can make the jazzy/groovy music I loved making during high school!

[denizcelebicom]

Thank you for being so honest. Appreciate it a lot ! Greetings from Germany

[Lamarsnackson]

This is by far the best demo vid I’ve seen. Good stuff man!!!

[Awertnex]

Omg, yeeeesss, this is exactly what i want to hear, and i never expected to hear such a thing, i love this

I'm actually starting on your finger drumming courses with this controller, I use it as a standard 4x4 layout but split in half, so when it's flipped like you used it on the video its a pretty similar experience just one hand in the top 4x2 and the other one in the bottom

Wow! This is impressive! Also looking at the other comments
and your reply’s makes you the first YouTuber I’ve seen that actually speaks to their audience in a genuine way! You have my subscription!

This video absolutely sold me on this midi controller! It reminds me a lot of one of my favorite bands and I’m so excited to start using this

[LEMON-fcdn]

Thanks man. I just got mine today. It’s my birthday. It was a present. I just started producing music and this be my first midi.

[hafidiamine]

as a guitar player myself, I relate heaavily to that trick of yours! instant sub !

[joshnova]

So great to see instruction that is enthusiastic and articulate

[sebastianmse]

😲 I always wanted to play that groove! thanks for the "hidden" tip!!!!

[freemuse]

Turning the keyboard a different way to play a groove. Brilliant. Wouldn't have ever thought of that. The little ditty made me laugh, in a good way. Love the transition to Dm in the bridge.

[DarlaBaltazar]

lol first off

u cute

and secondly I am just soooo happy I found this video. I really wanna get this controller but not because I’m a beatmaker really, but this demo you made is a little bit closer to the kind of music I’m inclined to make (a sort of fusion between pop but also just heavily influenced by jazz) so thanks for showing me this possibility! Stay awesome!

Bought one. The pads are pretty amazing for $110. My only complaints so far are that I have to quit Live to load a new map because the Components editor and Live can't seem to share the connection. This may be a setting. Also, the record button will only invoke Session clip record, not arrangement record. Edit: It's not a setting, the USB seems incapable of multiple instances. Windows 10. Haven't tried it on a Mac yet. Still love it.

[Chaman]

What a beautiful tune man! Congrats! I'm waiting for my Launchkey to arrive. This is the first song I'm gonna play on that thing! ✌🏻

[SM]

I do love the (for me) new setting in this vid. Nice character wall instead of the white door and wallpaper what I saw in the first three vids as a new subscriber

[TheJoyofFingerDrumming]

That was great! I loved the way that lovely piano sound and the bass blended with the Porcaro shuffle. Very groovy!
