Novation Launchkey MK4 61-Note MIDI Controller Keyboard (White Edition)

The Novation Launchkey MK4 is a 61–note MIDI controller keyboard built by Novation for bedroom producers, live performers, and studio engineers who need tactile control over music software. The white finish and compact footprint suit modern studio setups, while the 61–note velocity–sensitive keybed delivers the control range most players expect without consuming excessive desk space. Its integration with popular DAWs and soft synths defines the hardware’s primary purpose: bridging the gap between laptop production and hands–on musical expression.

The Launchkey MK4 features 16 illuminated pads with RGB feedback, ideal for triggering drum sounds, samples, and launch clips in Ableton Live and other software. Onboard controls include 9 faders, 9 rotary knobs, and transport buttons for play, stop, and record functionality. Connectivity spans USB, MIDI In/Out via 3.5 mm mini–jack, and a sustain pedal input; the 61–note keybed spans roughly 4 octaves with aftertouch support. Built–in software assignments map controls directly to common plug–ins without additional configuration, reducing setup time for producers moving between projects.
