novation LaunchKey 61 MKII

Launchkey is an easy-to-use MIDI keyboard controller that allows you to quickly produce and perform electronic music, particularly in Ableton Live, as it is designed specifically for that purpose. Simply connect Launchkey via USB, and you can immediately work with the keys, faders, knobs, and pads, gaining direct access to the grid, instruments, effects, and mixers.

If you don't use Ableton Live, Launchkey will also adapt to other major music software.

The heart of every MIDI keyboard controller is its keyboard. Launchkey features a synth-style keyboard that makes playing easy and expressive. With its velocity-sensitive keys, you can create dynamic performances. You can choose from three variants - 25, 49, or 61 keys - to suit your needs. Don't worry; you can play all models in any octave by transposing, so you can perform your favorite pieces regardless of the model you choose.

The less you rely on your mouse, the more time you have for your music. For instant access to your session grid, instruments, and effects, a MIDI keyboard controller that integrates seamlessly with Ableton Live is essential. This one is designed for that purpose.

Sixteen multicolor pads allow you to quickly create and launch clips, trigger samples, control effects, and more while playing. The pads indicate whether a clip is loaded, running, or being recorded. Best of all, they are touch-sensitive, enabling you to play beats, rhythms, and loops with expression and feeling.

Launchkey is powered via USB and is class compliant, so you don't need to install any drivers and can start immediately.
