The intuitive and fully integrated MIDI keyboard controller for creating music in Ableton Live, Novation Launchkey is designed to provide users with all the tools they need to create and play their music. Made for creators of all skill levels, Launchkey provides you inspiring tools to expand your musical horizons. Push your musical creativity with Scale and Chord modes or the powerful Arpeggiator to help spark fresh ideas, and the Custom Modes and full-sized MIDI output make Launchkey a powerful backbone for any studio. Ableton Live Integration With Launchkey, get unparalleled access to Ableton Live's functions, such as Capture MIDI, track arm, quantize, click and loop controls. For users not using Ableton Live, Launchkey is also fully integrated with Logic, Cubase and Reason, as well as out-of-the-box compatibility with other DAWs like Studio One and Pro Tools via HUI. Expand Your Musical Vocabulary Get inspired with features such as Scale Mode, Chord Modes and a powerful arpeggiator, which combined, expand your musical capabilities, allowing you to create in new ways. Scale Mode transposes keys and pads played to notes in the selected scale, three chord mode lets you play complex chords with a single finger, and the arpeggiator puts movement into your melodies, fast! Strum mode (introduced in firmware v1.1) allows you to strum chords for another texture in your playing.. Custom Modes: Control Anything The Launchkey can be used with any other MIDI-compatible device, thanks to the integrated 5-pin MIDI output. Use Novation Components to configure four Custom Modes, where you can map Launchkey's knobs, faders and pads to software and hardware functions.
