NOVATION LAUNCHKEY 25 MK2 USB MIDI CONTROLLER KEYBOARD 25 KEYS

Novation Launchkey 25 MK2 is a full-featured DAW control surface with 34 hardware controls. It's much more than just a USB controller keyboard; it's a powerful tool with total hardware and software integration and the maximum number of controls available for a device of this type.

In addition to these features, Launchkey 25 MK2 naturally includes normal MIDI control, making it the ideal device to pair with a digital audio workstation, with instant control of track volumes, panning, sends, and other parameters settable via the new Novation InControl software integration system.

The 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads allow you to have colors corresponding to clips in Ableton Live, allowing you to focus exclusively on creativity and combine loops and ideas, play rhythmic patterns, trigger loops, and much more.

Launchkey 25 MK2 integrates the iPad apps Launchkey (virtual analog synthesizer) and the Launchpad app, which allows you to play loops with immediate drag-and-drop from the pads and real-time effect variation.

The new Novation line also includes a software suite for Mac and PC that features V-Station, Bass Station, the Loopmasters sample pack, and Ableton Live Lite. Launchkey 25 MK2 is perfectly integrated with top-tier software.

The Launchkey synth for iPad (compatible with iPad 2 or higher) uses Novation's synthesis engine and a new, extremely intuitive touchscreen interface. You can control multiple synth parameters simultaneously to create unique effects, while the keyboard's potentiometers are directly linked to the synthesizer's controls.

The Launchpad app for iPad uses buttons to trigger loops and includes a wide range of effects.
