Introduction
Launchkey [MK3] is Novation’s intuitive and fully integrated MIDI keyboard controller for making tracks
in Ableton Live and Steinberg’s Cubase. Designed to give you everything you need to create and play
your music. Made for creators of all abilities, Launchkey gives you inspirational tools to expand your
musical vocabulary.
Launchkey gives you unrivalled access to Ableton Live’s functions, including Capture MIDI, track
arm, quantise, click and loop controls. Not using Ableton Live? No problem, Launchkey also has
full integration with Cubase, Logic and Reason, plus out of the box functionality with other DAWs
including Studio One and Pro Tools, via HUI.
Inspirational features include Scale, Chord and Strum modes and a powerful arpeggiator, which
together extend your musical capabilities and let you create in new ways. Scale Mode transposes keys
and pads played to notes in the scale selected; chord modes let you trigger complex chords with one
finger, while the arpeggiator gives your melodies movement.
Launchkey also works in standalone; the full-size five-pin MIDI output works with any MIDI-compatible
device. Use Novation Components to update firmware and configure Custom Modes. We recommend
updating the firmware right away so your Launchkey is up to date and fully featured.
