Key Features
- Premium Keybed and Pads: Launchkey 49 features a responsive, semi-weighted keybed designed for expressive playability. The 49 full-size, waterfall-style keys are sensitive enough for delicate passages yet durable for rigorous use. The 16 velocity-sensitive FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch provide unparalleled sensitivity and consistency for finger drumming, clip launching, and more.
- Comprehensive DAW Integration: Effortlessly control all major DAWs, including Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio, and Ardour. Enjoy hands-on control over transport, mixing, EQ, clip launching, and instrument/effect parameters. The 16 RGB pads double as Launchpad-style clip launchers, perfectly mirroring your on-screen workflow.
- Expanded Creative Tools: Unlock new levels of creativity with enhanced Chord, Scale, and Arpeggio Modes. Scale Modes help you stay in key, while Fixed Chord mode and Chord Maps enable rich, emotive chord progressions. The advanced arpeggiator allows you to transform and evolve sequences effortlessly. You can also split the keyboard into two zones or layer two MIDI channels for versatile control.
- Customizable Controls: Use the free Components software to personalize the Launchkey 49’s faders, pads, and encoders, storing up to four custom mappings. Instantly recall these mappings to suit your workflow, whether you're controlling software or hardware.
- Versatile Connectivity: The five-pin MIDI output allows you to control hardware synthesizers directly, without needing a DAW. The USB-C connection ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices, including iPhones and iPads, and the controller is USB bus-powered for ultimate portability.
- All-in-One Software Bundle: Launchkey 49 comes equipped with Ableton Live 12 Lite, a collection of iconic synths from GForce, orchestral instruments from Orchestral Tools, innovative effects from Klevgrand, and curated lessons from Melodics. This comprehensive bundle gives you everything you need to start creating music immediately.
