Novation Launchkey 25 MK3
Novation Launchkey 25 MK3 is a 25-key MIDI keyboard with 16 RGB pads, 8 knobs, a 16x2 screen, scale, chord, and arpeggiator modes, and a large software package included.
Novation Launchkey 25 MK3 is an intuitive keyboard MIDI controller fully integrated for use with Ableton Live and external hardware. With Launchkey, regardless of experience, you can create and perform music like never before. With a rich set of features that can be used in standalone mode, the MIDI keyboard erases barriers to creativity and expands the musical vocabulary of even the most talented performer.
Performance Modes
The 8 scale modes in Launchkey 25 MK3 transpose keys into the notes of the selected scale. Simply choose the tonic (main note) and preferred key – and you're ready to play. The 3 chord modes turn keys and pads into an interactive panel where each note taken is tonally and harmonically related. The arpeggiator allows you to explore new melodies and quickly find ideas, and the "Mutate" function transforms patterns into new forms.
Custom Modes
Custom modes simplify the interaction between Novation Launchkey MK3 and software. They are programmed via Novation Components and allow you to customize the behavior of Launchkey: control elements, MIDI routing, pad colors, and more.
Control Elements and Software Integration
The Launchkey platform has always been flexible in customization/control, and the Novation Launchkey 25 MK3 MIDI keyboard meets those expectations. Larger pads with improved sensitivity provide better control over dynamics. And 8 fixed knobs provide software control. Integration with Ableton Live is facilitated by dedicated buttons: Capture MIDI, Track Arm, Quantize, Click, and Loop.
Not using Ableton Live? Launchkey also offers full integration with Logic, Cubase, and Reason, as well as "out-of-the-box" operation with Studio One and Pro Tools via HUI.

It includes Ableton Live 10 Lite, Spitfire Audio LABS Expressive Strings, XLN Audio Addictive Keys, Klevgrand R0Verb and DAW Cassette, AAS Session Bundle, a 2-month subscription to Splice Sounds, and the Novation Sound Collective program.
