Novation Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 Keyboard Controller

Small in size but massive in potential, Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 redefines what a portable MIDI controller can do. Building on the legacy of its MK3 predecessor, this fourth-generation update delivers deeper DAW integration, an enhanced keybed, polyphonic aftertouch-enabled drum pads and even more onboard creative tools. It's fully plug-and-play with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio and other major DAWs, and connects effortlessly to hardware gear via its MIDI out port. With USB-C power and class-compliant design, Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 fits perfectly into hybrid workflows — at home, in the studio or on the go.

Velocity-Sensitive Keys for Dynamic Expression

Every control on the Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 is engineered for expressive performance. Its 25 synth-action keys respond naturally to velocity, offering accurate articulation for melody, harmony and rhythm. Meanwhile, 16 velocity-sensitive RGB drum pads with polyphonic aftertouch deliver a refined playing experience for finger drumming and clip launching. Dedicated pitch and mod touch strips give you immediate real-time control, while the crisp OLED screen provides clear visual feedback as you work. It’s an instrument that feels tactile, connected and ready to perform.

Built-in Inspiration With Scale, Chord and Arp modes

Songwriting and beatmaking feel intuitive with Launchkey’s enhanced generative features. Scale Mode lets you lock the keys to any of 30 scales, while Chord Modes — including Fixed, User and Chord Maps — allow you to trigger full harmonies from single keys or pads. The powerful Arpeggiator introduces real-time mutation, rhythm shaping and step control to take sequences further. These tools aren’t just functional—they’re musical co-creators that make composing faster and more intuitive, regardless of your experience level.

Effortless DAW Control and Customized Mapping

From DAW transport to mixer and plugin control, Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 gives you hands-on access to your entire session. Out of the box, it offers seamless integration with all major DAWs — including Ableton Live, Logic, Reason, Bitwig, Cubase and more — no setup required. With eight rotary encoders, you can tweak instruments and effects directly, or load up Custom Modes using Novation Components to create your own mappings. Plus, with NKS support, you get fluid control over Native Instruments plugins and software ecosystems.

A Full Production Suite Included

Every Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 ships with an expansive library of virtual instruments, plugins, and tools. You get Ableton Live 12 Lite, the Novation Play plugin and curated content from Orchestral Tools, GForce, Klevgrand, Komplete 15 Select and Melodics. Whether you’re looking for orchestral textures, gritty basses, ambient FX or custom lessons to sharpen your skills, it’s all included to jumpstart your creative journey. Setup is quick and simple, with everything working seamlessly across Mac, PC and iOS platforms.
