The Creative Controller
Made for creative music makers, the new Launchkey puts deep DAW control, Ableton Live sequencing, and a generative arpeggiator at your fingertips — with chord and scale tools, a pro-grade software bundle, and a re-engineered design that feels like an instrument.
Play music. Get creative.
Control your software and unlock new musical ideas with the new Launchkey. Play instinctively with Scale, Fixed Chord, and Chord Map, shape evolving rhythms with the arpeggiator, and take hands-on control of your DAW to turn inspiration into tracks.
16 Launchpad-style pads
For finger-drummers, Launchkey Mini 37 features our patented, velocity-sensitive FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Each pad uses a unique radial sensor for greater sensitivity and consistency, delivering tighter, more expressive performances. They can also be set to trigger chords or individual notes with polyphonic aftertouch.
37 synth-style mini-keys
The 37-note synth-style mini keybed is designed to feel natural and responsive. With a precise, velocity-sensitive action, these mini keys let you play with dynamics and nuance — whether you're tapping out a melody, building chords, or shaping a bassline. It's a compact setup that doesn’t compromise on feel.
Eight endless encoders
Launchkey's smooth-feeling encoders give you flexible, hands-on control with modes for plugins, mixer, sends, and transport — so you can shape sounds, balance tracks, and navigate your session with ease. Four custom encoder modes let you map controls to suit your setup, making your workflow seamless.
Seamless DAW integration
Stay focused with hands-on DAW control. Instantly switch between plugin, mixer, sends, and transport modes to keep sessions moving. In Ableton Live, access built-in Sequencer, Drum Rack, and Clip modes, so you can build and launch ideas without reaching for the mouse.
