Novation Launchkey MK3 Keyboard Controller Demo

Whether you’re launching clips in Ableton Live or composing in any other major DAW, you want streamlined, tightly integrated control over your music creation process, and that’s just what you get with the Novation Launchkey MK3. Its predecessors have been runaway best-sellers at Sweetwater, and Novation has taken all the user feedback from the previous iterations and plowed it into a third-generation MIDI keyboard controller that’s improved in every way.

This dude looks like he likes what he’s doing!

[Drinkyoghurt]

Came here for the keyboard but stayed for the reviewer. Nice.

[errold.t]

What a great video
Novation should hire this dude to demo all their tech officially

[Khordmaster]

I'm excited to get this and a bag of candy.

Exactly the review I was looking for! just upgraded from Live lite to Live 11. My Roland XP-50 is just too big for my desk & I think this Novation lauchkey will do the trick. Cheers

[Lu_Cidtrip]

I just ordered one from you guys. It'll be my first keyboard. I couldn't be any more excited!

[matteoghiotto]

This guy is so funny and charismatic, loved this video! Perfect explanation too 💯

[RICEEE]

That shirt is beautiful and I will purchase the entirety of Sweetwater to have it.

[Khordmaster]

Just did an unboxing video of the mini which I love. But this thing has so many features the mini doesn't. This is a must purchase for me!

[Bdan]

Awesome demo! It really helped me grasp this thing. You explained it so well!

[Waramo]

First useful video I found on youtube about the novation launchkey! Thx man <3

[ShaniAce]

Thanks, finally someone who shows how it feels to play drums on this thing!

[ABYSS_SOUNDS]

MAKE SURE THAT THE ARPEGGIATOR WORKS IN SYNC WITH YOUR DAW BEFORE BUYING THIS !

i bought the novation launchkey mk3 because of the promising arpeggiator, but to my surprise it does not sync with Ableton. When the play button is on while trying to play chords with the arpeggiator on the first 2 notes are played together in the begining and there are inconistencies in the quantisation of the notes.
When the play button is off and the keyboard uses its own clock the arpeggiated chords are played as they should. This means that the arpeggiator is unusable in ableton.

After lots of emails with novation they answered with this..
"The best way to perfectly sync an arp to Ableton would be to use Ableton itself. I.e. trigger clips with arp patterns in or use the arp device mapped to the Launchkey controls.
The arp on the Launchkey is great for a live scenario that doesn't require perfect synchronisation with Ableton, but less so if you need it to be perfectly in time with other Ableton clips. This is because it does not account for human error. "
AND
"Yes, this is possible (to play 2 synced arpeggiated chords) but it requires you to be very accurate with the re-triggering of the chord. There's no way to 'queue' the next chord so you would need to play it as on beat as possible. If you need to to do this with consistently perfect precision, it may be easier to use Live to trigger prerecorded MIDI clips."
I have been very patient with this matter but if there is no solution to this and if Novation does not plan on fixing this then its time i sell this keyboard and buy another one from another company that the arpeggiator actually works in sync with a DAW.
Im actually surprised that people did not notice this problem !
Feel free to offer a solution if you have one :)

How do you quantize in arrangement mode using the quantize button. It works for me on session mode but not on arrangement. Also, how do you make it record in arrangement mode using the button record but lighting up record next to Stop & Play in Ableton? My Komplete Kontrol A25 dose all this just not my Launchkey 37! Please help!😫

[charlesplaysbass]

This guy is a keeper. Fucking lol'ing the whole time

[Leidon]

WOW actual functionality in a midi controller?!??!?!? WHAT!?!?!?

[Parapsyglider]

Best review of this product. Does record button work on arrangement view?

[popschlepp]

How can I adjust the range of the pitch wheel??
