5 Reasons Why You Need A Novation Launchkey Mini Mk3

Novation's range of Lauchkey keyboards have been some of the most popular controllers for Ableton Live and other production software for a number of years now. The Launchkey Mini is the smallest of the bunch, and with this new Mark 3 version, it's been given some pretty impressive upgrades.

New features include even deeper integration with Ableton, redesigned, better feeling and more responsive pads, pitch and modulation touch strips, fixed chord mode (allowing you to play chords with one finger) and a really powerful arpeggiator featuring adjustable patterns, speeds and octaves.

I’ve got a Mac book air & an HP pc from 3/4 years ago - this controller maps perfect on the Mac & not on the pc ? Same Abelton lite 10 sane build ?

Why when I push "SHIFT" the pad of SESSION doesnt LIGHT ON?

I'm about to buy my first midi, but the #1 reason why I am leaning towards Akai MPK Mini MK3 is cuz it has a button to turn off the velocity of drummpads feature, and Launchkey Mini Mk3 doesnt have this feature. while i understand u can turn it off within DAW, i am a beginner and dun wana get overwhelmed with stuff i can do with DAW when ill be overwhelmed learning about the hardware. if this feature was present, id get Launchkey Mini Mk3 tomorrow...

Have one and there also few reasons to not buy it. No internal, precise clock for arp and no midi cc on pads in Components app. Do not get me wrong, it is briliantly intuitive and deviate func is a gamechanger. Pity that it is a kind of wasted potential without Ableton. Novation did update for Launchpad but forgot about this one.

[panamashore]

I don’t understand the word he said cause there no closed caption I can hear music cause vibration but I can’t hear him wish they put closed caption.

[hashkeeph]

can you customize the soundpad with your personal sound effects or stingers

[martinkulik]

Pity it has zero integration with GarageBand besides keys

[dennisslater]

Finding a compatible trs to midi adapter is extremely type A or B confusion amongst resellers is high due to Change from Novation recently. Availability of type A from Novation Distribution is a long term issue. Adapter should be included with keyboard ! Spent weeks so far and still waiting.

Should have had separate buttons for track selection. The Shift key is too far away.
