Description

Novation Launchkey Mini 37 is a compact USB MIDI controller for DAW software with a 3-octave mini synth-action keyboard, eight 360° encoders, and 16 velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch for finger drumming and clip launching. It includes creative Chord and Scale generation modes and an arpeggiator with step editor. High-intelligibility OLED display.

Your inspiration will go everywhere with Launchkey Mini 37, a portable and complete DAW software controller featuring a three-octave mini synth-action keyboard and 16 patented FSR pads for finger drumming, clip launching, and much more. The new generation of Launchkey also provides new tools for creating music in your favorite music production software on PC and Mac computers, on iPhone and iPad, or for remote control of your hardware synthesizers. Chord, Scale, and Arpeggiator modes have been expanded to help you stay consistent with your project's scale and to perform even more expressively – with rich visual feedback on the new, crisp OLED screen.

GForce Bass Station Plug-in Free!

The ultimate virtual version of the classic 90s mono-synth with a host of new features: 16 voices, over 300 presets, a built-in arpeggiator and sequencer, effects, and much more. GForce Bass Station offers enormous versatility and creative potential. Available as a standalone application on Mac and PC, it supports AU, AAX, VST, and VST3 formats.

Improved DAW Integration

Launchkey immediately supports all popular DAW software, with seamless and customizable integration for: Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studios, and Ardour. With this software, you get a hardware-based workflow that gives you full control over transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing and EQ, clip launching, and effects and instrument parameters. And when you use Ableton Live's Session View or Logic's Live Loops, the 16 drum pads also act as Launchpad-style clip launch buttons, with RGB backlighting that perfectly matches what you see on screen.

More Powerful Creative Tools

Launchkey Mini 37's creative tools are integrated into the hardware itself – so they work the same way in your DAW, with hardware synthesizers, or with mobile devices. Scale modes now allow you to lock your keyboard to a scale chosen from 30 different scales, so you can eliminate wrong notes or map everything only to white keys. Fixed Chord mode allows you to play a full chord from a single key; the new Chord Map mode, however, goes further and allows you to create emotion-filled progressions from the Launchkey pads. And in this latest iteration of our beloved arpeggiator, it's easier than ever to distort and mutate sequences for endless inspiration.

Extremely Responsive and Expressive FSR Pads

For finger drumming, Launchkey now sports our patented, velocity-sensitive FSR drum pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Unlike traditional pads, each features a unique radial sensor that increases sensitivity and improves consistency for even more precise performances. They can also be set to trigger chords or individual notes with polyphonic aftertouch.

New Custom Modes

Launchkey's controls are not limited by predefined assignments; simply load the free Components software in your browser and configure them to work exactly as you want, with software or hardware. Up to four custom mappings can be stored for both the Launchkey's pads and encoders and recalled instantly from the hardware to send chosen notes, MIDI CCs, or program changes.

Not Just Computers with Launchkey MK4

Thanks to the Launchkey Mini 37's 3.5mm mini-jack MIDI output, it's easy to connect hardware synthesizers via an adapter without the need for a DAW. Together with Components and custom mappings, you can control all the most important functions directly from the keyboard. In addition, Launchkey requires no additional drivers, so it is fully compatible with countless apps used to create music on iPhone and iPad – including the free Novation Launchpad app.

Everything You Need to Create

The Launchkey Mini 37 keyboard controller with pads includes everything you need to start creating music right away. The included DAW, Ableton Live 12 Lite, allows you to record and perform with up to eight MIDI or audio tracks, in addition to a range of instruments, effects, and creative tools – and works perfectly with Launchkey. Plus, you also get a selection of additional professional-grade effects and sounds from Novation and Focusrite.
