The latest version of Novation's Launchkey music production keyboard is called Launchkey 49 MK3, and it's built to work seamlessly with Ableton Live. The launch key works with all of the industry standard DAWs, so even if you don't use Ableton Live, you can still utilise it. 

The latest version of Novation's Launchkey music production keyboard is called Launchkey 49 MK3, and it's built to work seamlessly with Ableton Live. The launch key works with all of the industry standard DAWs, so even if you don't use Ableton Live, you can still utilise it. 

Its controller's innovative features and 5-pin MIDI DIN output make it ideal for usage with hardware synths and modular synthesisers in standalone mode. For touring musicians who need a robust yet compact method of transmitting MIDI data to their many instruments, this is an excellent option.

The third generation of the intelligently redesigned Launchkey 49 MK3 provides seamless connectivity with Ableton Live's cutting-edge capabilities. Innovative features like Capture MIDI are now easily accessible. As a result of the redesign, the Launchkey may now serve as the central hub of your home recording studio. Since its inception, the Launchkey platform has prioritised adaptability, and that principle remains at the heart of the MK3 update. It has eight fixed rotary knobs that bring your software to life and pads that are both larger and more responsive to velocity, allowing for greater control over dynamics. With Ableton Live's integrated Capture MIDI button, track arm, quantise, click, and loop controls, you can zip through your Session faster than ever.
