Novation Launchkey 88 MK4 MIDI Keyboard
The Novation Launchkey 88 MK4 MIDI keyboard combines expressive piano-style playing with hands-on control. Its semi-weighted keybed, 16 velocity-sensitive pads, dedicated DAW controls and built-in creative tools streamline it all.
Play with expressive control
The custom semi-weighted keybed gives composers and performers an 88-key piano-style playing surface. Meanwhile, pitch bend and modulation wheels add hands-on expression. Parts A and B, Split, and Layer zones let you organise the keybed for different playing arrangements as you build a performance.
Keep ideas moving
Moreover, Scale Mode lets you choose from 30 built-in scales, helping you stay in key while exploring. Chord Map lets you play chords from curated sets. On the other hand, Fixed Chord and User Chord modes make it easier to transpose or save progressions as your ideas develop.
Shape rhythms and arrangements
Furthermore, the generative arpeggiator creates evolving patterns, and its 8-step editor adds tie, accent and ratchet controls for changing the feel of a sequence. Sixteen RGB backlit velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch are ready for drums, instruments and clip launching.
Stay connected to your DAW
Eight endless rotary encoders, nine faders and buttons, transport controls and more keep production tasks close at hand. Custom DAW scripts support Ableton Live 11 or later, Logic X and 11, Cubase 11 and 12, Reason Studios, FL Studio and Ardour; other DAWs work through HUI.
