Launchkey 49 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 49-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: 16 velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch for playing drums and instruments, as well launching clips and working with grids.
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.
Connect to other instruments: Launchkey 49 can be connected directly to synths and other MIDI hardware with its full-size MIDI out port; it also works with your iPhone or iPad.
Create your own control surfaces: Launchkey is fully customisable; map MIDI parameters to pads and controls of your choice with Novation’s easy-to-use Components software.
