Novation - Launchkey 61 White
The Launchkey 61 MK4 White master keyboard combines a 61-key semi-weighted keyboard with an extended control surface, all in a particularly stylish white finish. From STAN management to chord creation, arpeggios and scale work, every element contributes to fluid interaction with the majority of software on the market. Its OLED screen, polyphonic aftertouch pads, faders and rotary encoders put a host of musical functions right at your fingertips. A discreet white dress, a few bright controls and lots of musical ideas in a unique format, thanks Novation.
Presentation
With its 5 octaves, it provides a wide working area for virtual instruments, making it perfectly suited to music production and MIDI composition projects.
Among the most striking features are the 16 velocity-sensitive FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Each pad has a dedicated sensor to ensure a consistent response across the entire surface.
These controls can be used to trigger clips, control software instruments or program rhythms. In this way, the unit effectively complements the possibilities offered by the keyboard without having to multiply the number of manipulations in the software.
With its 9 faders, 8 endless rotary encoders and dedicated transport controls, this model makes it easy to control numerous parameters within a STAN.
Mix settings, virtual instruments, effects and certain navigation functions remain accessible from the control surface.
This reduces the need to constantly switch back and forth between keyboard and screen during the various stages of production.
The integrated creative tools include an advanced arpeggiator, several chord modes, a Scale mode with 30 scales and a chord finder displayed on the OLED screen.
Timeline navigation, track management, clip launch and software parameter adjustment are all directly linked to the physical controls.
