Novation Launchkey 37 Keyboard Controller

Launchkey 37 Add inspiration to your setup with Launchkey 37, a compact all-in-one DAW controller with 3 octaves of full-size synth-action buttons and 16 patented FSR pads for finger drumming, clip launching and more. The next generation Launchkey also gives you new ways to get creative with your DAW, hardware synthesiser or iPhone or iPad. Expanded Chord, Scale and Arpeggio modes help you stay in key and be more expressive, all with detailed feedback from a crisp new OLED display. Enhanced DAW integration Launchkey natively supports all major DAWs and offers seamless custom integration for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio and Ardor. This gives you a hardware-assisted workflow with full control over transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing and EQ, clip starting, instrument and effect parameters. And when you're using Ableton Live's Session View or Logic's Live Loops, the 16 drum pads also double as Launchpad-style clip launchers with RGB backlighting that perfectly matches what's on-screen. More powerful creative tools Launchkey 37's creative tools are built into the hardware itself, so they work equally well in your DAW, on a hardware synth, or on your mobile device. Scale mode lets you set your keyboard to one of 30 different scales to avoid false notes, or you can map everything to white keys only. Fixed Chord mode lets you trigger full chords from a single key, and new Chord Maps let you go a step further and create emotive progressions from Launchkey's pads. And with the latest version of our popular arpeggiator, it's easier than ever to tweak and manipulate your sequences to find endless inspiration. Super-responsive keybed and FSR pads The 37-note synth-style keyboard is expressive, musical, and a joy to play. For finger-drummers, Launchkey now sports our patented, velocity-sensitive FSR drum pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Unlike standard pads, each one features a unique, radial sensor that increases sensitivity and improves consistency for even tighter performances. They can also be set to trigger chords or individual notes with polyphonic aftertouch. Play your way with Custom Modes Launchkey’s controls aren’t limited to their default assignments; just load up the free Components software in your browser, and configure them to behave exactly the way you want with your software or hardware. You can store up to four custom mappings for both Launchkey’s pads and its encoders, then recall them instantly from the hardware to send your chosen notes, MIDI CCs, or program changes. Go beyond the computer Launchkey 37’s five-pin MIDI output makes it easy to hook up your hardware synthesizer – no DAW required. Together with Components and custom mappings, you can take control of all its most important functions directly from your keyboard. Launchkey is also USB-powered and class compliant, so it’s fully compatible with countless music-making apps for iPhone and iPad – including the free Novation Launchpad app. All you need to create Launchkey 37 comes with everything you need to plug in and start making music right away. The included Ableton Live 12 Lite gives you the ability to record and perform with up to eight tracks of MIDI or audio, as well as a suite of instruments, effects, and creative tools – and it all works perfectly with Launchkey. You also get a selection of additional studio-grade effects and sounds from Novation and Focusrite.
