Launchkey 61 is a powerful DAW controller with a suite of onboard creation tools. Every element has been designed to feel musical, expressive, and razor focused on creative flow; from the semi-weighted keybed and 16 pads with polyphonic aftertouch, to the carefully laid out control surface with in-depth DAW integration. Play instruments and drums, launch clips and scenes, and get instant hands-on control of your DAW’s mixer, devices, and effects. Launchkey also has a unique, editable Arpeggiator, three Chord Modes to quickly create musical progressions, a Scale Mode that keep you in the right key, and a Chord Detector that shows what chord is currently being played on the OLED display.

• In-depth DAW control: Powerful control of Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, Reason, and more, with no set-up required.
• Tweak your software: Eight encoders and nine faders deliver instant control over DAW mixers, virtual instruments, and effects; user mappings can also be created for customised control.
• Perform with a high-quality keyboard: The 61-note keyboard is semi-weighted with waterfall keys; delivering superb playability and feel.
• Play drums and instruments: 16 velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch for playing drums and instruments, as well launching clips and working with grids.
• Powerful tools for creating chords and patterns: Powerful built-in Arpeggiator and three Chord Modes to easily create musical progressions: Fixed Chord, User Chord, and Chord Maps.
• Always stay in key: Scale Mode locks notes on the keyboard into right key, and Chord Detector shows what chord is currently being played, with visual representation on the OLED display.
• Split and Layer the keyboard: Split enables you to divide the keyboard into two independent zones, and Layer means two MIDI channels can be played simultaneously from the same keys.
