Novation Launchkey 49 MIDI Keyboard Controller

Launchkey 49 is a 49 note MIDI keyboard controller with over 50 physical controls including 16 velocity-sensitive multi-colour launch pads that trigger clips and scenes in Ableton Live. As well as enabling hands-on control of your DAW’s mixer, transport and more, Launchkey 49 is an integrated software / hardware instrument. The control surface has been designed to work tightly alongside two intuitive apps for iPad: the Launchkey app and the Launchpad app – plus the powerful V-Station & Bass Station synth plug-ins for Mac and Windows.

Launchkey 49 is a fully featured DAW control surface with over 50 hardware controls. The result is more than a USB controller keyboard; it’s a powerful integrated instrument with more hands-on control than any other device in its class. In addition to the integrated instrument functionality, standard MIDI control is also provided, making it an ideal partner for a digital audio workstation, giving you instant control of track volumes, panning, sends and other settings with Novation’s InControl software integration system. The 16 dual-colour backlit launch pads are velocity-sensitive and can be used to play drums and trigger loops in your software as well as launching clips and scenes in Ableton Live.
