The Novation Launchkey 61 MK4 MIDI Keyboard series isn’t just a MIDI controller — it’s a full-blown creative hub designed for musicians, producers, and performers of all kinds. Whether you’re crafting tracks in the studio, performing live, or bridging both worlds, the Launchkey MK4 brings serious power, control, and flexibility to the table.
With this new generation, Novation has taken things up a notch, delivering deep DAW integration, slick hardware compatibility, and performance tools that make it easy to turn ideas into full productions. Whether you’re working inside your DAW or going DAW-less with external gear, Launchkey MK4 has you covered thanks to both USB-C and 5-pin MIDI out connections.
The Lineup: Something for Everyone
The MK4 series comes in a range of sizes — 25, 37, 49, and 61-key models, plus ultra-portable Mini 25 and Mini 37 versions. Each controller offers velocity-sensitive synth-style keys, 16 RGB performance pads with polyphonic aftertouch, and a versatile set of encoders, faders (on the 49 and 61 only), and transport controls. From beatmakers to live-loopers, there’s a Launchkey to fit your workflow.
Smart Features for Creative Freedom The MK4 is packed with intuitive tools that inspire and streamline your music-making process:
- Three Scale Modes keep you in key while you play:
- Scale Snap auto-corrects off-key notes.
- Scale Filter mutes out-of-scale notes.
- Scale Easy re-maps the keyboard to a simplified scale layout.
- Chord Modes (Fixed, User, and Chord Map) help you build lush harmonies quickly, with the OLED screen displaying chords in real time.
- Chord Map Mode takes things even deeper, turning the pads into a harmonic playground with parameters like:
- Adventure: adjusts musical complexity
- Explore: narrows chord choices for easier navigation
- Spread: changes chord voicings across octaves
- Roll: adds strum-like effects for expressive play
- Powerful Arpeggiator with per-step editing adds motion and depth to your sequences.
Total DAW and Hardware Control
Whether you’re in Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, Cubase, or beyond, the MK4 seamlessly integrates with your favorite DAW. Novation even added a more advanced DAW Transport Mode for tighter control over Ableton Live’s step sequencer and scale functions. And for those who love customization, Novation’s Components software lets you create custom controller mappings for any MIDI-compatible instrument — virtual or hardware. The 49 and 61-key versions also introduce Split and Layer Modes, allowing you to assign different sounds to different sections of the keyboard or play two instruments at once.
Built to Plug Into Anything
Every Launchkey MK4 has a sustain pedal input and MIDI out for easy connection to other gear. Minis use a 3.5mm MIDI jack, while full-size models feature traditional 5-pin DIN ports. All are class-compliant, so just plug in and go — no drivers required.
