Great review! I love how you changed the metronome sounds to something a lot less annoying than Ableton's default.

Yo that playing a cord with one key thing is cool! Can't wait to see what all you can do with this keyboard

[archiebeatz]

Sounds like the Novation Launchkey is a winner🔥🔥🔥. Thanks for sharing Autumn 🙏🏾

[MarlonKingShow]

Thanks for the review. Do you still recommend this or is there something else better at the same size or less in 2021? Many thanks.

Wanted to get the launchkey 25 because its small, but went with the 37 instead because of the price (cost $20 more then the 25).

I just bought that keyboard today at guitar center and I’ll be getting it in 3 to 5 working days. But it doesn’t have a volume knob can you program one of those knobs for volume.

Bought MINI-MK3 keyboard and it is not working as expected. I press the SHIFT and only 2 orange and 1 green pads light up/ This is not what I saw in the tutorial vid. Cannot change modes with SHIFT. I tried to contact Novation 3 times and they completely ignorred it. No response of any kind. Tried the factory reset, but no luck.

Any idea how to reset this keyboard ?bought this keyboard and it is not working asexpected.

great review! this looks nice. what used to take me 2 controllers to do (across my AKAI APCkey25 + AKA MPK mini mk2), i can now do with 1! also -- any idea how long the Capture MIDI buffer is? (i.e. in notes, bars, or time)

[gotchaxy]

thank you so much! please, how can i simply scroll trough vst instrument presets with mini in ableton live?🙂

Hey Autumn! How did you connect the Launchkey midi to your laptop? I’m reading everywhere that it doesn’t come with the cable and that it’s impossible to buy as it’s quite a unique kind? Thank you !!

[KingTut]

Thanks for the review.

do you think I should return AKAI Professional MPK Mini MK3 and buy Launchkey MK3 instead? I have 30 more days to try it out.

singing up to get the MPC Beats was a NIGHTMARE. and after getting 1 plugin (a seperate sign up) for the other plugins I was asked either money or a CC for license. I mean WTF!? all this signing up with 3-4 sites and now i gotta pay? like i said... NIGHTMARE

I think maybe I will just try my best to learn this free DAW, and then return Akai if I'm still not feeling it i'm totally new and am really frustrated with how i dunno anything about making music. and the fact that I can't control Ableton with this thing. but #1 reason why I got is is cuz Akai has a Velocity On/Off switch and Launchkey Mini doesnt... but i heard there is a way around in DAW like in effects i think. but then i also read that
LAUNCHKEY feels like cheap plastic, the keys at least. i never thought making music can be this hard. i dunno whether to stick with Akai or jump ship while i still have the chance...

[Eczentrik]

I love this review... I went into the "Components App" and I noticed that they have Chords and Scales that you can assign to your pads which is awesome.. Just cant find an unrushed video to elaborate more on this... eg. can you download different scales and chords and if you can toggle through them on the fly?....

[wallacenock]

Hi Autumn. I currently have the Push 2 and love it. The one functionality i love so much is the ability to Preset loop length now i want a Novation MK3 mini to take away with me to work outside or in the park etc and also live looping when i busk, does this facility exist in the Novation, as i tried it with my Arturia Key Lab and its a mission to get things right on the fly. Maybe you can shed some light here

[Badboy-eict]

NOVATION LAUNCHKEY MINI MK3 OR AKAI MPK MINI Mk2 ? please suggest

[abcmatthew]

omg that first beat sounds awesome. Where does one download the sound at? Thanks.

[TJ-vfjx]

do I need specific computer stats to use this midi keyboard?? I'm thinking of getting one

[eva.h]

Help me please...When i have connected LAUNCHKEY and LAUNCHPAD,

how to make sure that each one emits a different sound?

[wolfychan]

i was thinking to buy it but is Novation launchkey mini MK3 or Novation Launchkey 25 MK3 better?
