Novation Launchkey 49 MK3 USB MIDI Keyboard Controller (49-Key) - New

In Brief: 49-note USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with Synth-action Keys, 8 Knobs, 9 Faders, 16 Pads, Dedicated Transport Controls, and Bundled Software.

The Novation Launchkey 49 MK3 is a third-generation MIDI keyboard controller designed for streamlined and tightly integrated control over music creation processes, compatible with major DAWs like Ableton Live. It introduces new features, including eight Scale Modes, allowing users to easily play in different scales without extensive music theory knowledge. Chord Modes, an arpeggiator, and the Mutate function enhance music exploration and creativity. Custom Modes, programmable using Novation Components tool, enable users to customize the behavior of the Launchkey, providing control over assignments, MIDI routing, pad color, and more. The controller supports external gear with a 5-pin MIDI DIN connection, offering versatility in connecting hardware synths and devices. The Launchkey 49 MK3 features larger, more sensitive pads for enhanced dynamic control and eight fixed rotary knobs for real-time performance control of software instruments. Integration with Ableton Live is seamless, with dedicated buttons for Capture MIDI functionality, track arm, quantize, click, and looping controls. While designed for Ableton, the controller is compatible with other major DAWs such as Logic, Reason, Studio One, Cubase, and Pro Tools via HUI. The controller comes bundled with virtual instruments, plug-ins, and sample packs, including Ableton Live 10 Lite, Spitfire Audio LABS Expressive Strings, XLN Audio Addictive Keys, Klevgrand R0Verb and DAW Cassette, and AAS Session Bundle, providing users with everything they need to start making music immediately.
