DAW controller for PC, iPhone and iPad

The MK4 series takes the Novation Launchkey controller into its fourth generation. Alongside 37 keys for playing melodies, this model (in Novation's modern white finish) also features 16 pads, nine faders, eight encoders for controlling plugin parameters, an arpeggiator, an input for connecting a sustain pedal, and pitchbend and modulation wheels – as well as a screen that displays information about every parameter using at least four characters, so there's no struggling to decode cryptic abbreviations. Additional functions that facilitate the workflow include note quantisation as well as Chord, Scale, and Arpeggio modes, which in this generation have been expanded, so that musicians don't just have to stay in the selected key, but can also play with genuine expression and emotion. The Novation Launchkey offers seamless integration into all widely used DAWs, enabling extensive parameter control for truly modern music productions.

Pads, chords, custom components

In addition to playing notes with the 37 keys, beatmakers can record drum patterns using the Launchkey's 16 pads, which are RGB backlit and feature polyphonic aftertouch. All inputs are velocity-sensitive, with playing dynamics not just reproduced, but also recorded. Scale mode can be used to compose entire songs without a single off-key note, while full chords can be played with just one key using the Fixed Chord mode: Chord progressions can also be mapped to the 16 pads for even more expressive playing. The 37 keys can be split into two separate sound zones, and really creative keyboardists can assign buttons, faders, and encoders to hardware or software functions in four separate custom modes. The Novation Components app even allows users to create their own templates for flexible settings, stored in the controller's internal memory. What's more, beginners can learn to play the controller more fluently with the complementary lessons from Melodics – specifically for Novation users.

Sophisticated software suite

The Launchkey MK4 series offers not only an intuitive user interface for a fluid workflow, but also an extensive range of helpful features, such as Chord and Scale modes – for effortless musicmaking. The Novation Launchkey 37 MK4's comprehensive range of functions can be used in any MIDI-capable DAW, and even beginners can get started right away with the software package included here. Besides the fully-featured Ableton Live Lite there are numerous virtual instruments, such as a 4-in-1 bundle from GForce with monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers, as well as a tape sampler. The newest addition to the frequently updated software suite is Novation Play, an exclusive collaboration with Klevgrand that includes over 80 pristine and polished basses, leads, pads, drum kits and more, sampled without exception from vintage Novation, Sequential, and Oberheim synthesizers. Of course, they're all integrated seamlessly with the physical device's controls for that immediate hardware feeling.

About Novation

The English company Novation has been producing affordable popular synthesizers as well as MIDI controllers and keyboards since its foundation in 1992. It was later acquired by the well-known British audio interface manufacturer Focusrite, but the brand still exists within the parent company. The outstanding design, high-quality workmanship and excellent price-performance ratio of the Novation Launchpads have continued to win them many new users. Novation synthesizers include the 8-voice Polyphone Peak, the analogue mono synthesizer Bass Station II, the MiniNova and the paraphonic analogue synthesizer Circuit Mono Station.

Practical tools for complex productions

As mentioned above, the Launchkey’s Scale mode provides predefined chords in a specific scale, while the User Chord mode makes it possible to assign chords of up to six notes to each individual pad. These allocations are stored in the internal memory of the controller, so it's easy to access them again after each system boot. The arpeggiator also offers different modes for designing varied patterns: Pressing Shift and Arp activates the Key Latching function, which holds all of the notes being played. When Arp is pressed again for a few seconds, Arp Control Lock is activated, and the user receives access to every parameter via the encoders: With Mutate, the pitch of the original chord can be changed – and with Deviate, the rhythm of the pattern can be modified. In addition to these functions, the Device Control mode can be used to intuitively control up to eight plugin parameters simultaneously in Ableton.

Macht einen guten Eindruck !

Stefan722 23.07.2025

Versand ging wie immer schnell... von der Verarbeitung macht das Keyboard einen guten Eindruck, fühlt sich alles ebenfalls hochwertig an und gut verarbeitet ! Die Bedienung ist sehr umfangreich an Möglichkeiten... habe da aber auch noch nicht alles getestet ! Da bei den kleinen Geräten die Displays nicht sonderlich gross sind, diese aber viele Bedienungsmöglichkeiten bieten, muss man schon genauer hinschauen , was angezeigt wird... sonst aber alles ok und in weiss sieht das Keyboard auch top aus !
