Novation Launchkey Mini 25 Mk4 Keyboard Controller

25-Key USB MIDI Keyboard

Get inspired by the Launchkey Mini 25 – a portable all-in-one DAW controller with a two-octave synthesizer keyboard and mini-keys, as well as 16 patented FSR pads for finger drumming, clip launching and more, opening up new possibilities for getting creative in your DAW, with hardware synthesizers or on your iPhone or iPad. The chord, scale and arpeggiator modes have been expanded so you can stay in your chosen key and play with even greater expression – all with detailed feedback on the new, crystal-clear OLED display.

DAW Integration

Launchkey supports all major DAWs with seamless, custom integration for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio and Ardour. The result is a hardware-controlled workflow that gives you full control over transport, timeline navigation, mixing, EQ, clip launching, as well as instrument and effect parameters. And when using Ableton Live’s Session View or Logic’s Live Loops, you can launch clips with all 16 drum pads at once – in Launchpad style and with RGB backlighting that matches what you see on your screen.

Powerful Creative Tools

The creative tools of the Launchkey Mini 25 are built into the hardware itself – so they work just as well in your DAW, with your hardware synthesizers or on your mobile devices. With scale mode, you can now lock your keyboard to one of 30 different scales to eliminate wrong notes or even display all notes only on the white keys. Fixed chord mode triggers full chords with just one key. New chord mappings enable the next steps, allowing you to create emotional progressions using the Launchkey pads. And with the latest version of the popular arpeggiator, it is easier than ever to modify sequences and get endless inspiration.

FSR Pads

For finger drumming, Launchkey now features patented, velocity-sensitive FSR drum pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Unlike standard pads, each pad features a unique radial sensor that increases sensitivity and optimizes consistency for even better performance. They can also be set to trigger chords or individual notes with polyphonic aftertouch.

Play Your Way with Custom Modes

The Launchkey controls are not limited to their default assignments. Simply load the free Software Components into your browser and configure them to behave exactly how you want them to with your software or hardware. You can save up to four custom assignments each for the Launchkey pads and encoders and recall them directly from the hardware to send the desired notes, MIDI CCs or program change commands.

Beyond the Computer

The Launchkey Mini 37’s mini-jack MIDI output allows you to easily connect hardware synthesizers without a DAW. In combination with Components and custom mappings, you can access the most important functions directly from your keyboard. Launchkey is class-compliant and therefore compatible with countless music apps for iPhone and iPad – including Novation’s free Launchpad app.

Everything You Need to Get Creative

The Launchkey Mini 25 comes with everything you need to start making music right away. The included Ableton Live 12 Lite allows you to record and play music with up to eight MIDI or audio tracks, as well as a range of instruments, effects and creative tools – all in combination with Launchkey. There is also a selection of additional studio-quality effects and sounds from Novation and Focusrite.
