Novation Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 Midi Keyboard Controller

The Novation Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 is a portable DAW controller with two octaves of synth-action mini-keys and 16 FSR pads for finger drumming and clip launching. It integrates seamlessly with major DAWs like Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, and FL Studio, providing control over transport functions, mixing, and clip launching. 

Its features include expanded Chord, Scale, and Arpeggio Modes, allowing you to perform expressively and stay in key. The 16 drum pads serve as clip launchers with RGB backlights that sync with your screen.

The velocity-sensitive FSR pads come with polyphonic aftertouch and can trigger chords or individual notes. Custom Modes let you configure controls using the free Components software, enabling you to store and recall custom mappings.

You can connect directly to hardware synths via a 3.5 mm MIDI output without needing a DAW. It’s compatible with various music apps for iPhone and iPad, including the Novation Launchpad app.

Included with the Novation Launchkey Mini 25 MK4 is Ableton Live 12 Lite for recording and performing with a suite of instruments and effects, along with studio-grade sounds from Novation and Focusrite.
