Novation Launchkey 37 MK4 - Compact and portable 37-key MIDI/USB keyboard with scale and chord modes, generative arpeggiator, and advanced DAW integration
The Novation Launchkey MK4 range has been designed to provide music creators with an instrument that is versatile, intuitive, and inspiring. Whether you choose a compact model like the Launchkey Mini or a more complete 61-key version, every model in the range offers seamless integration with leading digital audio workstations (DAWs) such as Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason, Bitwig and more. Built to spark creativity, the Launchkey MK4 puts precise control of sequencers, racks, and clips at your fingertips, enabling you to compose and perform without breaking your workflow.
At the heart of this new generation are built-in creative tools that turn inspiration into music in seconds. A powerful arpeggiator and three chord modes make harmonic exploration easy, while the 16 velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch provide expressive performance capabilities — perfect for triggering samples, playing drums, or adding rhythmic textures to your compositions. The refined design, endless encoders, and a clear OLED display give the Launchkey MK4 the feel and comfort of a true instrument, ready to take center stage in your studio or live setup.
Finally, the range comes with a professional software bundle to start creating right away: Ableton Live Lite and Cubase LE for recording and production, premium plugins from Klevgrand, legendary synths from GForce, as well as instruments from Native Instruments and Orchestral Tools. With interactive lessons from Melodics included, Launchkey MK4 keyboards are not just MIDI/USB controllers but complete creative platforms. Whether you prefer a compact setup or a larger master keyboard, every model delivers the same promise: play, compose, and perform with fluidity and expressiveness.
