Novation Launchkey

The Novation Launchkey series is a dynamite way to showcase your skills as a synth production artist. With a combination of touch pad keys and traditional keys, any selection from this synth series gives you the ability to mix up your performance with a staggering collection of tones, sounds and effects. Whatever your electronica skill level, there is a Launchkey model that will suit your needs. If you’re just starting out, the 25 Keyboard Controller or the Mini are easy-to-use and give you a great selection of synth effects. As well, both options allow you to integrate your iPad, Mac or PC into your production and performance. The compact size of these units allow you to bring them virtually anywhere, while the selection of launch pad keys allow you to loop your effects and even play drums along while you play keyboard. The limited number of keys and launchpads makes these models perfect for first timers just looking to learn the playing style before moving on to more complex key arrangements.

Taking your practice to the stage or studio will often require a more elaborate set up and the Launchkey series has some impressive options for you to consider. The 61 Keyboard Controller includes 50 physical controls and 16 trigger pads allowing you so many opportunities to incorporate an array of effects into your compositions. These midrange models also include computer software that makes recording easy and can be used with many different apps.

Seasoned synth production pros and those looking to get more serious will really love the all-in-one packages for performances like the 61 Controller Package 2. A deluxe package like this not only includes the keyboard with trigger pads, but an entirely separate MIDI controller that utilizes the same trigger pad design, making it simple to go between the two as you perform. If you feel like you’ve mastered the synth, having an extra set of controls just increases your options and gives you the ability to incorporate even more effects into your show.

Whatever stage you’re at in the electronic music game, a Novation Launchkey will make it easy for you to get the results you want. The simple design, array of compatible software and range of effects ensure you can always find a sound solution to any of your production situations.
