Launchkey 37

Add a touch of inspiration to your studio with the Launchkey 37, a compact and comprehensive DAW controller that includes full-size keys and 16 patented FSR pads, perfect for finger drumming, launching clips, and much more. The new generation of Launchkey offers innovative ways to express your creativity, whether in your DAW, with hardware synthesizers, or on iOS devices. The Chord, Scale, and Arpeggio modes have been expanded to ensure you always play the right note more expressively. In addition, enjoy an OLED screen that provides clear and detailed information.

Advanced DAW integration

The Launchkey is compatible out of the box with the major DAWs, offering seamless and customized integration for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, Reaper, FL Studio, and Ardour. This allows for an optimized workflow, providing you with complete control over transport, navigation, mixing, EQ, clip launching, and instrument and effect parameters. In Ableton Live's Session View or Logic's Live Loops, the 16 percussion pads are duplicated to launch clips Launchpad-style, with RGB backlighting that matches the screen.

Advanced creative tools

The Launchkey 37 incorporates creative tools directly into its hardware, working efficiently in your DAW, with hardware synthesizers, or on mobile devices. The Scale modes allow you to lock the keyboard to one of the 30 available scales, avoiding incorrect notes and assigning everything to the white keys. Fixed Chord mode activates full chords with a single note, while Chord Maps allows you to create incredible progressions from the pads. The latest version of the arpeggiator makes it easy to create and modify sequences, keeping inspiration flowing.

Keyboard and highly sensitive FSR pads

The 37-key synth-action keyboard is expressive and musical, offering a pleasant playing experience. Ideal for drummers, the Launchkey features patented FSR percussion pads, with polyphonic aftertouch and velocity sensitivity. Each pad has a unique radial sensor that improves sensitivity and consistency, ensuring perfectly coordinated performances. These pads can also be configured to trigger chords or individual notes with polyphonic aftertouch.
Custom modes for a performance tailored to you

The Launchkey controls can be customized beyond their default assignments. You just need to install the free Components software in your browser to configure it according to your needs, with both software and hardware. You can store up to four custom assignments for the Launchkey pads and encoders, and recall them instantly from the hardware to send selected notes, MIDI CC, or program changes.

Beyond the computer

The five-pin MIDI output makes it easy to connect your hardware synthesizer without the need for a DAW. With Components and custom assignments, you can control key functions directly from the keyboard. The Launchkey also works via USB and has native compatibility with numerous music creation apps for iPhone and iPad, including Novation's free Launchpad app.

Everything you need to create

The Launchkey 37 includes everything you need to start making music. Ableton Live 12 Lite allows you to record and play with up to eight MIDI or audio tracks, and offers a variety of instruments, effects, and creative tools, all perfectly integrated with the Launchkey. It also includes a selection of additional studio-quality effects and sounds from Novation and Focusrite.
