Launchkey Mini 25

Find inspiration anywhere with the Launchkey Mini 25, a portable all-in-one DAW controller featuring two octaves of unweighted mini keys and 16 patented FSR pads for finger drumming, launching clips, and much more. The next generation of Launchkey also gives you new ways to express your creativity in the DAW, with hardware synths, or on iPhone and iPad. Chord, Scale, and Arpeggio modes have been expanded so you always hit the right note and play with even greater expression. You can also enjoy clear, detailed information on the new OLED display.
 
Enhanced DAW Integration

The Launchkey is compatible with the major DAWs right out of the box, with seamless, tailored integration for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio, and Ardour. This gives you a hardware-powered workflow that provides complete control over transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing and EQ, launching clips, and instrument and effect parameters. And when you use Ableton Live's Session View or Logic's Live Loops, the 16 drum pads double as Launchpad-style clip launchers with RGB backlighting that matches what you see on the screen.

More Powerful Creative Tools

The creative tools of the Launchkey Mini 25 are built into the hardware, so they work seamlessly in your DAW, with your hardware synths, or on your mobile devices. Scale modes let you lock your keyboard to one of 30 different scales to avoid wrong notes or even assign everything to the white keys. Fixed Chord mode activates full chords from a single note. The new Chord Maps goes one step further: it lets you create incredible progressions from the Launchkey pads. Plus, with the latest version of our beloved arpeggiator, it's easier than ever to twist and mutate sequences so inspiration never runs out.

Highly Sensitive FSR Pads

Ideal for drum lovers, the Launchkey now features our patented FSR drum pads with velocity-sensitive polyphonic aftertouch. Unlike standard pads, each one has a unique radial sensor that increases sensitivity and improves consistency so your performances are perfectly coordinated. They can also be configured to trigger chords or individual notes with polyphonic aftertouch.
 
Perform Your Way with Custom Modes

The Launchkey controls are not limited to their default assignments. Just install the free Components software in your browser and configure it to behave however you want with your software or hardware. You can store up to four custom assignments for both the Launchkey pads and encoders. Then, recall them instantly from the hardware to send selected notes, MIDI CC, or program changes.

Go Beyond the Computer

Thanks to the Launchkey Mini 25's 3.5 mm MIDI output, it's easy to connect your hardware synth with a simple adapter and no DAW required. Together with Components and custom assignments, you can control the most important functions directly from the keyboard. The Launchkey also has native compatibility, so you can use it with a host of music creation apps for iPhone and iPad, including Novation's free Launchpad app.
