With five octaves of semi-weighted keys and 16 patented FSR pads, it’s perfect for finger drumming, clip launching, and more. The controller also features nine faders and eight endless rotary encoders, giving you precise control over mixing, plugin management, and performance. This latest version of the Launchkey features revamped hardware and a sleek, minimalist design, offering new ways to enhance your creativity in your DAW, with hardware synths, or on iPhone and iPad. The expanded Chord, Scale, and Arpeggio Modes make it easier to stay in key and perform with greater expressiveness, all while providing clear feedback on the sharp OLED display. The Launchkey 61 MK4 keyboard controller integrates seamlessly with all major DAWs right out of the box, including Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio, and Ardour. Enjoy a hardware-driven workflow that provides full control over transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing, EQ, clip launching, and parameter adjustments. In Ableton Live’s Session View or Logic’s Live Loops, the 16 drum pads transform into Launchpad-style clip launchers with RGB backlighting that syncs perfectly with your on-screen content. The enhanced keybed of the Launchkey 61 MK4 is designed for sensitivity and durability. With 61 semi-weighted, waterfall-style keys, it delivers the precision of a software-based workflow alongside the feel of a premium hardware instrument. For drummers, the patented, velocity-sensitive FSR drum pads with polyphonic aftertouch offer increased sensitivity and consistency, thanks to their unique radial sensors. The creative tools built into the Launchkey 61 mk4 work seamlessly across your DAW, hardware synths, and mobile devices. Scale Modes let you lock the keyboard to one of 30 different scales to avoid wrong notes, or map everything to just the white keys. Fixed Chord mode triggers full chords from a single key, while new Chord Maps allow you to create expressive progressions using the pads. The updated arpeggiator makes it easier to generate evolving sequences for endless inspiration. For those looking to control multiple instruments simultaneously, the Launchkey 61 offers the ability to split the keyboard into two zones or layer two MIDI channels across all 61 keys.Custom Modes let you personalize your control setup. Use the free Components software to configure the faders, pads, and encoders to suit your needs. You can store up to four custom mappings for each control and recall them instantly from the hardware. With a five-pin MIDI output, the keyboard connects effortlessly to your hardware synthesizer without needing a DAW.
