The Novation Launchkey 88 is a full-size MIDI keyboard with boundless customisation and an unrivalled feel and response. Made to play, the Launchkey 88 is the perfect companion for modern songwriters and producers. It offers flexible customisation, dynamic response, and an enhanced creative experience to help capture inspiration.
Centred around the full-size and semi-weighted 88-key keybed, the Launchkey 88 delivers tactile response and a natural feel, accurately capturing every detail of your performance no matter how dynamic. It is designed as the ultimate studio companion, specifically for building tracks within your chosen DAW.
Deep integration with Ableton and other major DAWs, including Logic Pro, Tools, Studio One, and more, allows for complete control over key production and performance functionality. Navigation controls, mixing parameters, MIDI programs, and more are seamlessly integrated using the onboard faders, potentiometers, and dedicated hardware buttons.
The Launchkey 88 offers maximum expression with its velocity-sensitive keys and pads. The keys react to the force of your touch, allowing you to translate emotion into sound. The pads have been upgraded from the MK2 to be larger and more expressive, reacting to the force of your touch for more dynamic performances. The backlit pads are perfect for finger-drumming, triggering samples, creating melodies, and much more.
The Launchkey 88 MK3 introduces new ways to interact with sounds and create melodies. Three chord modes allow you to trigger chords from hitting a single note, which is useful for both music creation and live performances. The scale modes allow you to transpose the keybed and pads to trigger notes in a selected scale, making it easier to create melodies in key. The versatile arpeggiator allows you to create rhythmic melodic pieces with ease.
In addition to the expressive keybed and pads, the Launchkey 88 MK3 features a range of transport controls, encoders, and faders for maximum control of your music software and virtual instruments. These controls are perfect for controlling automation and tweaking parameters within instruments and effects. The deep integration with Ableton minimizes the need to switch between the computer and the controller.
