The Launchkey board has been one of the most popular MIDI controllers for many years, the main task of which is to control DAW software on your PC, laptop or tablet. The third generation of Launchkey has seen new features in the form of an arpeggiator, three modes for launching chords in a single note, new controls for transport or mixing, and last but not least, it includes a clear two-line LCD display. The rear panel has also undergone a change, now offering a 5pin MIDI output for additional synthesizers, drum machines, or MIDI devices, and an output for the Sustain pedal for even more authentic feelings from the game. The Launchkey range is available in four sizes with 25,37, 49 and 61 keys, so you can use them as a synthesizer or classic keys for the accompanying game, all four types also include a new track volume. The keys are fully compatible with Ableton Live software (included), just connect them to your device with a USB cable and you can start making your new recordings. You control the software with eight rotary potentiometers, nine 45 mm faders (Launchkey 49 and 61 only) and other controls that allow you to navigate the program without a single mouse movement. The new coat also received 16 touch pads, which are now even more sensitive and, for better clarity, are backlit with RGB diodes, which will ensure good visibility, especially during night live performances and studio sessions. The package includes software and a USB cable to connect to your device.
