LAUNCHKEY MINI SETUP EXAMPLES
Launchkey Mini is designed to integrate automatically and seamlessly with your computer
music software. Launchkey Mini can be used with either a computer/laptop, or with an iPad;
however the features and operational possibilities do differ with the two platforms, so they have
been covered separately in the User Guide sections that follow.
Interfacing Launchkey Mini to a computer
Connect Launchkey Mini to your computer using the supplied USB cable between Launchkey
Mini’s side panel USB socket and a USB port on the computer.

InControl Mode
InControl has been integrated into your Launchkey Mini to allow instant operability with certain
DAWs. Consult the DAW Setup Guide (downloadable from the Novation website) which includes
a list of currently supported DAWs. The DAW Setup Guide explains how the various controls on
Launchkey Mini map onto each DAW’s key functions.
If your favourite DAW is not in this list, you can still use Launchkey Mini with it effectively, but
you will need to use Basic Mapping Mode (see below).
Basic Mapping Mode
Launchkey Mini will act as a general-purpose MIDI controller for use with a wide range of
music software applications. In addition to the keyboard’s Note On/Note Off messages, each
of the various controls (e.g., rotary controls, pads) will always transmit their own unique MIDI
message, allowing you to congure your software to respond to the messages as you wish.
