Premium Feel and Expressive Pads

The Launchkey 49 MK4’s 49-key bed provides a premium feel, ideal for composing melodies and playing virtual instruments. Each key is semi-weighted for balanced action and dynamic expression. The 16 velocity-sensitive pads give you natural feel when finger drumming or triggering clips. Their radial sensors provide even response and polyphonic aftertouch lets you add modulation during playback.

Powerful Control of Your Software

Eight encoders and nine faders put hands-on control of your DAW at your fingertips. Tweak virtual instrument parameters, adjust mix levels and more—all without needing to use your mouse. Deep integration with Ableton Live, Logic Pro and other DAWs means the Launchkey 49 MK4 works as an extension of the software. Dedicated transport buttons, track select and device control offer seamless workflow in the studio or live on stage.

Advanced Tools for Musical Inspiration

The Launchkey 49 MK4 comes equipped with powerful creative features to help you compose and perform. Scale Mode locks the keys to a specific musical scale so you stay in key. Chord Mode lets you trigger complex chords with a single keypress. The Arpeggiator creates rhythmic sequences from the notes you play. Use the keyboard split feature to control two separate MIDI zones with your left and right hands. Layer two sounds across the entire keyboard at once. These advanced tools provide inspiration when you need it most.

Works With Your Hardware and Mobile Devices

In addition to controlling your DAW, this Novation controller works as a master keyboard for hardware synths and sound modules. Its MIDI out port connects directly to your gear for hands-on control of parameters and sequencing. The Launchkey 49 MK4 is also USB-powered and class-compliant so you can use it with iPhone and iPad to control compatible music-making apps.
