MIDI Keyboard Novation Launchkey 49 MK4

Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 is a modern MIDI keyboard that will become an indispensable tool for musicians and producers striving for maximum control when creating music. It features 49 semi-weighted keys that provide excellent playing dynamics and realistic tactile feedback.

The Launchkey 49 MK4 integrates with many popular digital audio workstations (DAWs), including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Reason, and others. Thanks to the support of the universal HUI protocol, it is also compatible with any music creation software, allowing instant control over transport functions, mixers, instruments, and effects without complex setup.

The keyboard is equipped with 16 velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch, which are perfect for programming drums or launching clips. Additionally, it has 8 encoders and 9 faders, which allow quick and intuitive control of mixers and virtual instruments in DAWs.

For greater creative flexibility, the Launchkey 49 MK4 includes an arpeggiator with a step editor, allowing you to create unique musical patterns. Chord modes (fixed, user, and chord trigger) make the music creation process quick and intuitive. The keyboard split function expands the playing possibilities by dividing the keyboard into two zones.

In addition to the main features for creating music, the Launchkey 49 MK4 supports external MIDI devices via a 5-pin MIDI output. There is also a USB-C port for connecting to a computer or mobile devices, making this controller an excellent choice for mobile studios.

The keyboard comes with a set of professional software, including Ableton Live 12 Lite, virtual instruments from GForce, orchestral sounds from Orchestral Tools, and plugins from Klevgrand. This is a complete package for music creation, with extensive learning opportunities provided by the Melodics app.

Thanks to its sturdy construction, wide functionality, and compact size, the Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 is perfect for both professional studio musicians and those working from home or in mobile studios.
