The Launchkey 61 MK3 has been updated with several game-changing improvements that will help you get the most out of Ableton Live. Novation has also included extra music producing software, giving you even more capabilities right now.

If you are a music producer with no prior expertise in musical theory, this keyboard has been modified to make it much easier to grasp keys, scales, and chords. This gives you the freedom to explore with your compositions more. The scale modes transpose notes to the scale of your choice. That is, you will be limited to creating melodies with notes that are harmonically consistent with that scale.

You may use the custom mode feature to generate your own unique mappings that are tailored to your production style and workflow. With Ableton, assign knobs and faders to preset macros for rapid mixing. Customize your MIDI signal routing - ideal for modular and hardware synthesiser enthusiasts. Customize the colours of the pads to your liking - ideal for live artists who need to segment various instruments and channels in Ableton. The 61 has nine faders since it is the biggest model in the series. You may use them for mixing or automating effects sends, giving you a lot of flexibility.

The 61 key model is ideal for people with a conventional music theory background, since it is the biggest size in the launch key series. If you're a live artist, the Launchkey 61 may be used to operate hardware instruments like antique synthesisers. This controller allows you to bridge the gap by sending MIDI data to any synth having MIDI inputs.

This keyboard controller's overall design is ideal for anyone who need a keyboard for production and performance. If you work in Ableton Live, the MK3 has controls that are intended to bring Ableton's capability directly to your fingers. That is, you will have complete control over all of your sessions.

As with other Novation products, a three-year guarantee is included.
