Launchkey Mini 37 features
Enhanced STAN integration
Launchkey is directly compatible with all the major STANs on the market, offering tailor-made integration with Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio and Ardour. Control transport, navigate the timeline, mix, EQ, launch clips and manage effects and instrument parameters using the physical keyboard controls. The 16 pads are also used to trigger clips, just like on a Launchpad, and light up in the same color as in your STAN.
Even more powerful creative tools
Scale mode lets you assign one of 30 distinct scales, so you never play a wrong note again. Fixed Chord mode triggers complete chords with a single keystroke, and new Chord Maps let you create progressions with the pads. The enhanced arpeggiator makes it easy to modify and transform your sequences.
FSR pads that react to your every move
Patented FSR rhythm pads are velocity-sensitive and feature polyphonic aftertouch. Each pad incorporates a specific radial sensor, offering enhanced responsiveness and improved playing precision. Use them to trigger chords or notes with optimum tactile response.
Custom modes to suit your playing
Reassigning Launchkey controls to suit your needs is easy with the free Components software. Configure commands to control the parameters of your software or hardware as you wish. Store up to four custom assignments for pads and encoders, and recall them instantly from the keyboard.
No computer? No problem
The Launchkey Mini 37 features a MIDI output on 3.5 mm mini-jack, so you can easily connect your physical synthesizer with a simple adapter. It's also natively compatible and USB-powered, ideal for driving music apps on iPhone and iPad, including Novation's free Launchpad app.
Everything you need to create with Live
The Launchkey Mini 37 comes with Ableton Live 12 Lite for recording and playing live with up to eight MIDI or audio tracks. The included suite of instruments, effects and creative tools works perfectly with Launchkey, including a selection of professional sounds and effects from Novation and Focusrite.
