Dang ...you sure know your way around what seems to be a very powerful controller!

What side would YOU prefer to have pads on and why? Pads on right side, faders - left or vice versa?

[williamsrdan]

Can it work with cheaper daws or on an Android device?

Since you recently reviewed the Arturia Keylab 49/61 mk3, how would you compare the feel of the keys with this Novation (the full size)? You were more detailed in the other review video about the feel and this to me is the most important thing about a midi keyboard. Which one do you prefer playing on for eg piano vs synth sounds? Thanks!

Good overview. I'm trying to decide between the Launchkey 25 and the mini 37. I'm not a keyboard player but I'd love to access the extra keys... but I keep hearing that the Launchkey mini keys are noisy and don't feel very good (especially compared to controllers like the Minilab).

Great video, thank you. Please though, say "Mark 4" not "M K 4", the only reason this has happened over the last few years is because AI voiceovers say it wrong, we should be correcting them not following them.

I have a Push 2, any reason to add one of these? Plus it has keys and the other one doesn't. Thanks

which better feels NI A61 or Novation Launchkey MK4

[japanever]

Very nice demonstration!Would you choose this or kompete kontrol s49 mk3 if polyphonic aftertouch will be used frequently.
Also, can you tell me what plugins enable polyphonic aftertouch with komplete kontrol s49 mk3...

this keyboard is the best on the market!what make him not perfect is the lack of the sustain fonction (need then a pedal)

Do you recommend to use with Ableton Push 3 Standalone? With one USBA to USBC cable it can be connected and control all track volumes & control devices on selected tracks ? For live performing i would like to choose complementary controller beside my Ableton Push 3 Standalone.

Are the faders accurate like sensitive when mixing??? Or are the 8 encoders better for mixing volume??? Thanks!!!

[djcullgirl]

did you mean to write launchpad instead of keylab, in the timestamps?

[KhingTut]

Honestly, coming from a novation launchkey 61 mk3, do you truly see a point in upgrading?? I am willing to upgrade but i do not know what honestly is different and worth the upgrade?

[flowgoi]

What's the keybed like compared to keylab/keylab essential mk3?

[DopamineOverload]

Not perfect, indeed. Inside Components, the endless encoders have limited "absolute" functionality. Minimum to maximum. The fact that Relative is not an option in the editor is a major, ridiculous oversight. They need to update Components and also, the firmware, to get this controller as good as it can be. It's close, but that is such a huge mistake, it annoys the hell out of me. Additionally, the Play button, on the Mini 37, does not send a MIDI message (often Ch16, CC115, which is standard for Transport: Play). The Record button DOES send MIDI, though (Ch16, CC117). These small oversights really make the controller craptastic. If they can fix these two things, they could really have a winner on their hands.
