Novation Keyboards & MIDI

If there was one decade that propelled music forward more than any other, it was the 1980s. The unique songs of the '80s are still well-known today for their characteristic sounds, and what's more, it was the era that introduced the MIDI standard to recording artists everywhere. That's a development that went hand-in-hand with Novation keyboards and MIDI controllers. Today, there are more options than ever for musicians taking advantage of what MIDI can do, and Novation is as good a choice now as it was back in the 1980s.

Choosing from the Novation lineup begins with deciding what kind of controller or keyboard is right for your needs. For example, if you're a DJ, performer or sound tech looking for an intuitive way to cue up samples, effects and clips on the fly, you'll get a lot of use out of a pad controller like the Launchpad Pro, Launchpad S or Launchpad Mini. Or, if you'd like a mixer together with your pad, check out the Launch Control and its big brother, Novation Launch Control XL.

When you're searching for something more aimed at composition and performance than cuing and mixing, the answer is probably a keyboard controller or synth. Novation can definitely help you out, with choices as small as the Impulse 25 MIDI Controller and as large as the Impulse 61 MIDI Controller. You can even go for a complete kit, like the Novation Launchkey 61 Keyboard Controller Package 2, if you want to create a full stage or studio setup completely from scratch. And don't forget to take a look at synths, too - the Novation UltraNova Synthesizer is top-of-the-line, with tons of professional features including a built-in vocoder.

No matter what kind of musician you are, there's a lot that you can accomplish by unlocking the power of MIDI onstage or in the studio. All it takes is the professional-grade design and performance of Novation keyboards and MIDI controllers. They've got the mettle to stand up to the most demanding tasks, so you'll know that Novation has your back when your creativity starts to flow.
