Novation Launchkey 25

The Novation Launchkey 25 belongs to the series of 25, 49 and 61 note keyboard controllers that come with up to 50 physical controls including 16 velocity-sensitive multi-colour trigger-pads. With this equipment you can launch clips and scenes in Ableton Live.

This keyboard controller represents an integrated software/hardware instrument and includes an entire suite of software for iPad, Mac and PC including a brand new Launchkey synth app, the powerful V-Station and Bass Station soft synths for Mac and PC, Ableton Live Lite and a huge Loopmasters sample pack and a Launchpad app for triggering and improvising with loops. The control surface of the keyboard controller has been specifically designed to work tightly with the software.

The Novation Launchkey 25 is a controller for all major music software, giving you hands-on control of your mixer, transport and more in Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Reason, Logic and Cubase. Nothing comes close to the Novation Launchkey 25 for sheer controllability thanks to its nine faders, nine buttons, eight rotary knobs and transport controls.

You can use 16 multi-colour backlit velocity-sensitive launch pads to play drums and trigger loops without having to go near the computer. Whatever software you use, the 16 launch pads are perfect for playing in drum patterns, triggering clips and scenes in Ableton Live or sketching out beats.

The velocity-sensitive synth-style keyboard mechanism is accompanied by pitch and mod wheels and octave, track up/down buttons. It recreates the feel of classic synth keyboards with precision, so playing styles can be reflected by the software as accurately as possible.

The Novation Launchkey 25 comes with the Launchkey app and the Launchpad app for iPad as well as the Novation V-Station and Bass Station synth plug-ins for Mac and PC.
