Novation Launchkey 61 White MK4 (MIDI Controller/Keyboard)
Novation Launchkey 61 White MK4 puts expressive keyboard control, clip launching, and hands-on DAW operation in one focused workspace. Its semi-weighted keybed, RGB backlit pads with polyphonic aftertouch, Chord and Scale modes, and OLED display give ideas a direct path from playing to production.
Play with More Expression
Firstly, the 61 semi-weighted piano-style keys offer a familiar foundation for playing instruments and building parts. Alongside them, 16 RGB backlit velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch bring expressive control to drums, chords, and clip launching. Moreover, pitch bend and modulation wheels add further hands-on control while you play.
Find Musical Ideas Quickly
Furthermore, Chord and Scale modes keep note choices organised, with Scale Mode offering 30 built-in scales and Chord Map, Fixed Chord, and User Chord modes for shaping progressions. The generative arpeggiator with step editor adds movement. Meanwhile, Parts A and B, Split, and Layer zones give you more ways to arrange sounds across the keybed.
Keep Your DAW Within Reach
Additionally, custom DAW scripts bring dedicated control to Ableton Live 11 or later. Also, Logic X and 11, Cubase 11 and 12, Reason Studios, FL Studio, and Ardour. Eight endless rotary encoders, nine faders and buttons, transport controls, track navigation, and Capture MIDI, Undo, Quantise, and Metronome functions keep key tasks close at hand.
Connect Around Your Setup
The 128 x 64 monochrome OLED display keeps controller information visible as you work. A USB-C socket, 5-pin MIDI out socket, sustain pedal 1/4” jack socket, and Kensington security slot cover the listed connections. Meanwhile, USB bus power keeps the controller ready without a power supply included.
