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.

great controller for a Logic Pro user
Good quality controller. I like the feel of the keys and the pads, and the script to map it to Logic Pro works well. I also appreciated the bundled software, although the installation process for the various plugins was unnecessarily tedious.
