Novation LAUNCHKEY-MINI-MK3 Mini 25-Key USB Controller Keyboard

Launchkey Mini is Novation's most compact and portable 25-mini-key MIDI keyboard controller. It gives you everything you need to start creating in Ableton Live – and it’ll fit in your bag.

Get new melodies, rhythms, and sounds flying from your fingertips with Launchkey Mini’s easy yet powerful arpeggiator. Fixed Chord mode takes your ideas further, adding a customized fixed chord shape that follows you up the keyboard.

Step back from the screen and feel the beats. Launchkey Mini’s deep and intuitive integration with Live lets you move where the music takes you. Transport, device and mixer controls and macros give you more hands-on control.

Launchkey Mini comes with everything you need to make tracks in the box, including sounds, instruments, and effects from AAS, Softube, Spitfire Audio, XLN Audio, and Klevgrand.

Mini features a completely new mini-key mechanism – the best to date – and is great to play. Two touch strips for pitch and mod let you really feel your sound while 16 RGB pads are designed for dynamic and nuanced drumming..

Strum Mode is a new feature in v1.1 that allows chords to be played as if a guitar were being strummed. It's easy to employ, simply hold down the notes of your chord and trigger strum via the mod strip on the Mini MK3 or the mod wheel on the Launchkey MK3. This innovative variation can also be used alongside other arpeggiator modes on Launchkey devices.

The Mini enjoys other updates including adjustable pad brightness to deliver the perfect visibility in any light setting.

If you're a finger drummer (who isn't?) and you prefer a fixed velocity you can now toggle pad velocity on and off.

You can also toggle the MIDI clock output on and off for more flexibility when connecting to other MIDI devices.

A new double-tap shift function gives you one-handed control of shift-modified buttons. A feature that's perfect for tweaking with one hand while playing with the other, when simultaneously playing guitar, or using a connected synth.
