The Launchkey 61 Mk3 from Novation is a neatly designed USB/DAW & MIDI controller that offers space for an arpeggiator, 16 pads, 8 knobs, 9 faders and chord mode in a compact space. The keyboard has a well playable keyboard with 61 keys is built stable and is equally suitable for use on stage, on the road and everywhere where space is scarce. The 16 velocity sensitive pads are ideal for recording accented drums & percussion. The built-in arpeggiator can be used directly via the keyboard with several playback patterns. In addition, a chord function is integrated that allows you to play entire chords with just one finger.
The MIDI output is located on the back in addition to the sustain pedal input. This can be used to play other instruments that do not have their own keyboard. The arpeggiator can also be activated on this output. Thanks to the transport function, you can control global functions of a DAW, such as start/stop and recording, directly from the Novation Launchkey 61 Mk3.
Included is a software package that consists of Ableton Live Lite, XLN Addictive Keys, AAS Session Bundle, Spitfire Audio LABS-Expressive Strings, Klevgrand R0Verb- and DAW Cassette, as well as access to the Novation Sound Collective.
