Description

NOVATION LAUNCHKEY 61 MK2 USB MIDI CONTROLLER KEYBOARD WITH 61 KEYS

Novation Launchkey 61 MK2 is a full-featured DAW control surface with over 50 hardware controls. It's more than just a simple 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 61 MK2 naturally provides 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 Novation's new InControl software integration system.

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

Launchkey 61 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 variations.

The new Novation line also includes a software suite for Mac and PC that includes V-Station, Bass Station, the Loopmasters sample pack, and Ableton Live Lite.

Launchkey 61 MK2 is perfectly integrated with top-level 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 controls. The Launchpad app for iPad uses the buttons to trigger loops and includes a wide range of effects.
