Novation Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 Keyboard Controller

Introduction of Novation Launchkey Mini 25 MK4

Discover inspiration anywhere with the Novation Launchkey Mini 25, a compact, all-in-one DAW controller with two octaves of synth-action mini keys and 16 proprietary FSR pads for finger drumming, clip launching, and more. The second iteration of Launchkey also introduces new methods to be creative in your DAW, with hardware synthesizers, and on iPhone and iPad. Chord, Scale, and Arpeggio Modes have all been improved to help you stay in tune and perform in more creative ways, with comprehensive feedback from the clear, modern OLED display. Includes Ableton Live Lite and a variety of professional-grade virtual instruments.

Improved DAW integration

Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 supports all major DAWs out of the box, including Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio, and Ardour, with smooth custom integration. These provide a hardware-powered workflow in which you have complete control over transport operations, timeline navigation, mixing, EQ, clip launching, and instrument and effect settings. When utilizing Ableton Live’s Session View or Logic’s Live Loops, the 16 drum pads also function as Launchpad-style clip launchers with RGB backlights that exactly match what’s on screen.

MORE POWERFUL CREATIVE TOOLS

Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 creative features are integrated into the hardware, so they operate the same way in your DAW, with hardware synths, and on mobile devices. Scale Modes now allow you to lock your keyboard to one of 30 distinct scales, eliminating incorrect notes, or even mapping everything to just the white keys. Fixed Chord mode activates complete chords with a single key, and new Chord Maps allow you to create expressive progressions with Launchkey’s pads. And the newest version of our popular arpeggiator makes it easier than ever to twist and alter your sequences for unlimited creativity.

SUPER RESPONSIVE FSR PADS

For finger drummers, Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 now includes our proprietary velocity-sensitive FSR drum pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Unlike normal pads, each one has a unique radial sensor that boosts sensitivity and consistency for even better performance. They may also be programmed to trigger chords or individual notes using polyphonic aftertouch.

PLAY YOUR WAY WITH CUSTOM MODES

Launchkey’s controls are not confined to their default assignments; just launch the free Components program in your browser and customize them to work precisely as you want with your applications or hardware. You may save up to four unique mappings for Launch key’s pads and encoders and then quickly recall them from the hardware to deliver your desired notes, MIDI CCs, or program modifications.

GO BEYOND THE COMPUTER

Using Launchkey Mini 25’s 3.5 mm MIDI output, you can easily connect your hardware synthesizer with a simple adaptor – no DAW necessary. With Components and custom mappings, you can control all of its most crucial features from your keyboard. Launchkey is also class-compliant and entirely interoperable with a wide range of music-making apps for iPhone and iPad, including the free Novation Launchpad app.
