NovationLaunchkey 61 Mk3 MIDI Controller

Novation Launchkey 61 Mk3

The Launchkey 61 Mk3 is the fully featured 61-key MIDI controller of the Launchkey Series designed for artists who work in Ableton Live, although it works across many DAWs. It's perfect as a way to streamline your workflow within your DAW. The five-octave keyboard is velocity sensitive with pitch bend and mod wheel accompaniment. 16 RGB backlit velocity-sensitive pads can be configured to control session parameters, or can be used for playing notes/samples in your session. Nine 45mm sliders give direct hands on control of the important functionality you need at your fingertips.

Three chord modes (fixed, scale, and user) provide one-finger chord playing. Scale mode transposes all the pads and keys into a selected scale so no need to worry about hitting the wrong note. Not only does the Launchkey work for your DAW, the integrated 5-pin DIN MIDI lets you hook up external MIDI gear. An on-board arpeggiator can add inspiration and helps unlock new melodies. An integrated 16x2 character screen displays relevant information for the state of the Launchkey.

Launchkey comes with a bundle of software including Ableton Live Lite, AAS Session Bundle, and more. The Launchkey lets you move away from a mouse and keyboard way of working with intuitive workflow and easy to use interface.
