The Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 is a 25-key USB MIDI keyboard controller optimized for portability and tight integration with Ableton Live. It features 16 velocity-sensitive, multicolor, backlit trigger pads that can be used to launch loops, samples, and more, while the eight knobs enable access to mixer functions and instrument/effect parameters. The USB-powered controller is compatible with a variety of DAWs and apps on Mac/Windows computers and iOS devices (adapter cables available separately).
The MK3 model offers expanded functionality and connectivity not found on the MK2. Dual touch strips, a flexible arpeggiator, single-finger chord triggering, and transport buttons let you spend more time creating on the controller and less time fiddling with your software. Utilize the 3.5mm MIDI output to control hardware synthesizers, drum machines, or sound modules from the Launchkey Mini MK3. The included software bundle provides sounds, instruments, and effects to get you started and keep you inspired.
