Powerful DAW integration
Launchkey offers powerful, custom integration for: Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Bitwig Studio, Reason Studios, FL Studio, and Ardour. With these, you get a hardware-powered workflow that gives you full control of transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing and EQ, clip launching, and instrument and effect parameters.

Get hands-on
Take control of your performance with 16 Launchpad-style, velocity-sensitive drum pads. Perfect for launching clips, playing chords, and drumming, these pads offer intuitive interaction and expressive control.

With polyphonic aftertouch, each pad responds individually to varying amounts of pressure, enabling more expressive and dynamic playing.

Always in key
Scale Modes now allow you to lock your keyboard to one of 30 different scales to eliminate wrong notes, or even map everything to only the white keys with Easy Scale Mode.

Chord Detector shows which chord is currently being played, with a visual representation on the crisp OLED display.

Move with the melody
Groove with the tempo of your project using the latest version of our generative arpeggiator.

Effortlessly create and mutate musical sequences with our new eight-step editor, projecting expression through tie, accent, and ratchet controls.

Overcome creative blocks
Explore a wide range of handcrafted chords with dynamic performance modifiers through Chord Map, perfect for captivating live performances.

Trigger chords from a single key using Fixed Chord mode, store chord progressions with User Chord Mode, then play them back on the 16 velocity-sensitive drum pads.
