Novation Launchkey 61 MK3
The Novation Launchkey 61 MK3 is an upgraded version of the MK2, with new features and enhancements designed to improve workflow and unleash creativity. It is a large MIDI keyboard that features a premium quality keybed, performance pads, and transport controls, making it seamlessly integrate with Ableton and other DAWs. The velocity-sensitive pads have been redesigned to provide enhanced expression, and the rotary encoders are perfect for controlling automation and tweaking virtual instruments. Additionally, the Launchkey MK3 offers three chord modes and an onboard arpeggiator, allowing musicians to explore new ways of making music. The sleek and compact design makes it suitable for any studio space. The Launchkey MK3 also comes with a comprehensive software bundle, including Ableton Live Lite and a range of powerful virtual instruments.

In terms of expression, the Launchkey MK3 features velocity-sensitive keys and pads that react to the force of your touch, allowing you to translate emotion into sound. The keys react differently depending on how hard or soft you strike them, resulting in a range of tones and nuances. The performance pads have been upgraded to a larger and more expressive design, making them perfect for finger-drumming, triggering samples, and creating melodies. The pads also react to the force of your touch, enabling more dynamic performances.

The Launchkey MK3 offers new ways to create melodies and chords, with three chord modes that allow you to trigger chords from hitting a single note. This feature is useful both in music production and live performances. The chord modes include fixed scale and user modes, with the user mode allowing you to create your own chord patterns. The scale modes allow you to transpose both the keybed and pads, enabling you to play notes in a selected scale and create coherent and in-key melodies. The versatile arpeggiator allows you to easily create rhythmic and melodic pieces.

In terms of control, the Launchkey MK3 includes faders, encoders, and transport controls that offer maximum control over your music software and virtual instruments. The encoders and faders are perfect for controlling automation and tweaking parameters within instruments and effects. The Launchkey MK3 has deep integration with Ableton, minimizing the need to switch between computer and controller.

The Launchkey MK3 comes complete with a jam-packed software bundle, including Ableton Live Lite, which is a powerful DAW that allows you to start producing and making music. The bundle also includes a range of virtual instruments and effects, such as Spitfire Audio LABS, XLN Addictive Keys, Klevgrand R0Verb, DAW Cassette, and AAS Session Bundle.

The Launchkey MK3 is designed for Ableton Live, providing immediate access to all the controls you need. It features a velocity-sensitive keyboard, 16 velocity-sensitive pads, and three chord modes that allow you to trigger chords with one finger. The Launchkey also offers scale modes that transpose keys and pads to notes in the selected scale, ensuring you never hit a wrong note. It also includes a powerful arpeggiator and multiple MIDI connectivity options. The Launchkey MK3 has an easy-to-read screen and comes with free software, including Ableton Live 10 Lite, virtual instruments, plugins, and sample packs.
