The Creative Controller Keyboard - Launchkey 25 MK4!
Launchkey 25 is a powerful DAW controller featuring a synthesizer keyboard, eight endless encoders, and 16 velocity-sensitive pads for playing drums, instruments, and launching clips. It also offers creative chord and scale modes that work with the OLED display to effortlessly keep you in the desired key.
Launchkey 25
Get inspired by Launchkey 25 – a compact all-in-one DAW controller with a two-octave synthesizer keyboard with full-size keys and 16 patented FSR pads for finger drumming, clip launching, and more. The next generation of Launchkey also gives you new ways to get creative in your DAW, with hardware synthesizers, or on iPhone and iPad. The chord, scale, and arpeggio modes have each been expanded so you can stay in key and play even more expressively – all with detailed feedback on the new, crisp OLED display.
Enhanced DAW Integration
Launchkey supports all major DAWs with seamless, custom integration for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio, and Ardour. This gives you hardware-controlled workflows that put full control of transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing, EQ, clip launching, and instrument and effect parameters at your fingertips. And when using Ableton Live’s Session View or Live Loops in Logic, the 16 drum pads simultaneously handle clip launching in Launchpad style with RGB backlighting perfectly matching what you see on your screen.
Creative Tools
Launchkey 25’s creative tools are built into the hardware itself – so they work the same way in your DAW, with your hardware synthesizer, or on your mobile devices. The scale mode now lets you lock your keyboard to one of 30 different scales to eliminate wrong notes or even map everything to the white keys alone. The fixed chord mode triggers full chords with a single key. New chord mappings allow the next steps so emotional progressions can be created across Launchkey’s pads. And the latest version of our popular arpeggiator makes it easier than ever to vary your sequences for endless inspiration.
Extremely Responsive Keybed and FSR Pads
The 25-key synthesizer keyboard is expressive to play, musical, and fun. For finger drumming, Launchkey now features our patented velocity-sensitive FSR drum pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Unlike standard pads, each has a unique radial sensor that increases sensitivity and optimizes consistency for an even tighter performance. They can also be set to trigger chords or individual notes with polyphonic aftertouch.
Play Your Way with Custom Modes
Launchkey’s encoders aren’t limited to their standard assignments. Simply load the free Components software in your browser and configure them to behave exactly how you want with your soft- or hardware. You can save up to four custom mappings each for Launchkey’s pads and encoders and recall them directly from the hardware to send the desired notes, MIDI CCs, or program change commands.
Beyond the Computer
Launchkey 25’s 5-pin MIDI output makes it easy to connect your hardware synthesizer – no DAW required. Combined with Components and custom mappings, you can access key functions directly from your keyboard. Launchkey is USB powered and class-compliant, making it fully compatible with countless music apps for iPhone and iPad – including Novation’s free Launchpad app.
