Novation Launchkey Mini MK3, MIDI Keyboard Controller

Novation Portable Keyboard, Launchkey Mini MK3

​

Made to move. Launchkey Mini MK3 is Novation's most compact and portable 25-mini-key MIDI keyboard controller. It gives you everything you need to start creating in Ableton Live – and it’ll fit in your bag. Make tracks anywhere with Launchkey Mini’s deep, intuitive Ableton control, arpeggiator, fixed chord mode, MIDI out, and tons of sounds in the box.

Create new melodies, rhythms and sounds with Launchkey Mini’s easy yet powerful arpeggiator. Take ideas further with a customisable fixed chord shape that follows you up the keyboard in Fixed Chord mode. Add dynamic, expressive rhythms with 16 super-sensitive pads for drumming and clip launch. 

March 2024 Update - Version 1.2 enhances user experience by enabling the Play and Stop buttons to send Start/Stop messages via USB and MIDI outside of DAW environments, benefiting those working with external gear like sequencers. Additionally, controls now visually respond to incoming MIDI messages, indicating their states for Pads and Fader buttons, offering improved feedback. Users can now also select which Fader, Pad and Port modes will be used when the Launchkey powers on so they can instantly jump back into the action.

• Deep and intuitive Ableton Live control - including device macro control, track select,
• record, capture MIDI, clip and scene launch, stop/mute/solo, volume, pans and sends.
• Creative arpeggiator – easy to use but deeply controllable: change rhythm, beat, pattern, octave, gate and more.
• Fixed chord mode – play a chord with one finger - assign a fixed chord shape to the keys and it’ll transpose as you move up and down the keyboard. 
• MIDI Out – take Launchkey Mini anywhere, send arps and program changes to your hardware synths, or add keys to your groovebox directly over MIDI.
• Hardware - our finest mini keymech to date, 16 velocity-sensitive RGB, eight rotary controls, pitch and mod touch strips, and sustain input.
