Introducing the new Launchkey | Novation

The new Novation Launchkey is a powerful universal DAW controller with a suite of creative MIDI tools, including advanced Chord and Scale modes that help you create chord sequences, melodies, and basslines - while always staying in the right key. It also comes with an impressive collection of VST instruments and effects with everything you need to make music. Launchkey has been re-engineered to look, feel and play like an instrument – from the high-quality keyed and unique patented Launchpad-style FSR pads, to the continuous encoders and crisp, bright OLED display.

The Launchkey range comprises six models:

• Novation Launchkey 61: (61 full-sized semi-weighted piano-style keys and nine faders)
• Novation Launchkey 49: (49 full-sized semi-weighted piano-style keys and nine faders)
• Novation Launchkey 37: (37 full-sized keys)
• Novation Launchkey 25: (25 full-sized keys)
• Novation Launchkey Mini 37: (37 mini synth-action keys)
• Novation Launchkey Mini 25: (25 mini synth-action keys)

Gaze upon this Arturia, THIS is how you do a real product update. Well done Novation.

[preamble]

Thank you for putting the faders on the correct side! The build quality looks awesome.

Months ago I asked everywhere where I could including here for this 37 keys mini. It's a real blessing this dream is becoming reality 😮😮

[AnVolcano]

Glad the mk3 Launchkey 49 was out of stock when I went to order this morning - Googled just to see if there was a mk4 coming up and was saved from a purchase I would have immediately returned! Hopefully these get properly revealed soon.

Excited to give the mk4 a go - was 50/50 between this and the Keylab Essentials mk3, but the Launchkey keybeds seem much better-regarded than the KL Essentials, and hopefully the mk4 will keep that pattern. Plus this looks like it will fit my budget much better than the new Keylab mk3 proper (plus I think this will fit much better on my tiny desk, especially with the mod/pitch wheels above the keybed). Just hope the pads are good as well - the Circuit Tracks ones are the best I've used so far, so hoping these at least match those.

This is incredible. I'm curious to try out the mini 37.

[j.solano]

Been thinking about upgrading from my old Arturia Minilab. I love my Launchpad X, so I imagine the pads on these new Launchkeys are pretty great. Semi weighted 49 is looking really tempting.

Thanks for leaving the normal 37 key model. And thank you for understanding that the keyboard should take up minimal space on the table. (PB, Mod)

[RobertKgma]

Polyphonic aftertouch on 49 or bigger?

[nolake]

Nice range for sure. Still have the previous one and it’s a great midi keyboard.

[Opensourcetrio]

It looks like a nice controller, I´ll definitely try it. One criticism for the promo video - its not very nice to show faders moving by themselves if you don't have motorised faders, it's misleading.

[sternenherz]

Really nice. I hope when you release the SL Mk4, that it will a) optionally run without DC Adaptor! b) have a much much brighter LED Brightness (at least with DC Adaptor). :) Also, a much better Keybed would be nice, like from Fatar or Roland :D

@NovationTV - How’s the integration specifically with Studio One 6/7? In the past S1 has required a lot of manual setup with these controllers. Has that been improved with the MK4?

[zyzyx]

What’s the difference between the launchkey 61 as seen here and the launchkey 88 MK3? I don’t see and MK4 anywhere on your website. Is it just assumed that the newest models are MK4? I notice that the 88 key model is in a separate page on your website. Is the 88 key worse as a midi controller? I’m just wondering because I’m a piano player and it would be nice to have full length with semi weighted, without sacrificing whatever is on these new models. I would be using it to produce and just play expressively.

[unotoli]

Fantastic update.
But, can anybody tell why pads (cords) on right hand side instead of left?

[thegeenius]

the new layout is enough to get me amped, , - take my money please..- i already have a 37, sl mkIII, can't wait, ,

[djpraise_]

Why are we not getting 88 keys MK4 similar to the MK3? Maybe I am it’s not a common request, but I believe some of us still prefer the full 88 keys. Please make this happen.

[cyane]

HOLY TIME TO UPGRADE FROM MY 2013 LAUNCHKEY 61 MK1

[MichaelDowComposer]

Faders on the left is much better. Other hand to the mouse. Finally!

Nice update for sure.
Still awaiting a launch control XL update..been eyeing one up for ages but it's so old it's surely due an update?!

[BobPaulGuitar]

Great change, switching the faders to the left and pads to the right, it's more intuitive from the player's perspective, IMHO.

[cartellimarroni]

Hi, I have assigned the control knobs to my synth that have a 0 to 127 value range...but the knobs goes too slowly to reach maximum and minimum values, how can make the rotary knobs more fast responsive? Thanks a lot for your help! 🙏
