ARTICLE N° 72709
Novation's Launchkey MK3 series is available in 25, 37, 49 and 61 keys.
The keyboard features a powerful arpeggiator for exploring new melodies, harmonies and rhythms.

An announcement at NAMM 2025 marked a turning point for Launchkey: NKS compatibility opens the door to Native Instruments' rich, integrated ecosystem!

From now on, users can access over 2000 instruments and effects without getting lost in complicated settings. Presets, assignments and controls react instantly, making for a fluid, immersive playing experience. Whether you're in the middle of a composition or performing live, everything becomes more natural, more inspiring and, above all, more effective.

With Ableton Live 12 Lite and Cubase 14 LE included with your Novation Launchkey 61 MK3, you have two complementary creative environments at your disposal. Ableton offers you an intuitive workflow with its Arrangement and Session views, perfect for moving from improvisation to final structure in the blink of an eye. Cubase 14 LE gives you 24 MIDI tracks, 16 audio tracks, 96 kHz resolution and a range of precise editing tools, plus a variety of virtual instruments and effects for fine-tuning every detail. So you can move from live performance to studio production, juggling instant inspiration and methodical construction with ease.

But that's not all!
GForce and Novation have collaborated to resurrect Bass Station, the cult synthesiser of the 90s, in an unbridled software version. No longer just a bass monster, it now boasts a polyphonic mode, new waveforms and a tenfold modulation engine. Add to that a flexible arpeggiator and on-board effects, and you've got an instrument with tenfold creative power, tailor-made for sonic experimentation.
