Novation Launchkey 49 MK3 49-Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller

Elevate your music production experience with the Novation Launchkey 49 Key MK3, a seamlessly integrated 49-key USB MIDI keyboard designed for both mobility and harmonious synergy with Ableton Live. Noteworthy enhancements include a dedicated button for swift activation of the Capture MIDI function, alongside controls for track arming, quantization, metronome, and looping.

Featuring 16 refined velocity-sensitive trigger pads, adorned with multicolored backlighting, this controller provides heightened command over dynamics, ideal for launching loops, samples, and more.

The ensemble of eight knobs and nine faders guarantees effortless navigation of mixer functions and manipulation of instrument and effect parameters.

Compatibility extends across various DAWs and applications on Mac, Windows, and iOS platforms, amplifying its versatility.

Distinguished from its previous iterations, the Novation Launchkey 49 Key MK3 model encompasses enriched functionality and connectivity.

Embrace the inclusion of pitch and modulation wheels, a versatile arpeggiator, single-finger chord triggering, and transport buttons, affording you more time for creativity on the controller and less time navigating software intricacies.

An exceptional selection of eight Scale modes opens avenues for profound musical exploration. By transposing played keys to notes within the chosen scale, you can effortlessly venture into uncharted tonal realms. Establish your root note and preferred scale, and begin your melodic journey.

Three Chord modes forge an interactive musical landscape where keys and pads harmonically interlace with every note played.

The arpeggiator facilitates the crafting of new melodies, while the mutate function ingeniously reconstructs your patterns into fresh and exciting forms.

Custom Modes streamline the interplay between the controller and the software. Customizable via the Novation Components browser-based tool, these modes grant authority over control assignments, MIDI routing, pad coloration, and much more.

Harness the full-sized 5-pin MIDI DIN output to command hardware synthesizers, drum machines, and sound modules via the Launchkey MK3.
