Novation / Launchkey49 MK3 MIDI Keyboard Controller

I don't have much experience with this sort of thing but so far I was able to connect it to a DAW (Waveform) and use it as a piano as well as record MIDI tracks. I haven't bought a pedal for it yet but it seems to have the required connector. One would not be able to tell that it isn't new without inspecting the box. The drum pads light up with pleasant colours. The entire keyboard is powered from a single usb port of a small laptop. Its rather light since it has no speakers or batteries. After some experimentation, I found that I can use the laptop's headphone socket to output sound with no noticeable latency. In general, I'm very happy to own this.

For this price it is amazing. Ableton integration is beyond great. Other DAWs just usual. If you use Ableton, look no further.

鍵盤を押すのに必要な力がピアノに近いのでピアノ経験者は使いやすいのかも知れませんがあまりピアノをやっていない私的には鍵盤が重いです

It is 100% worth the money! I have been making music on an app my on phone for a few years and finally decided to upgrade to Ableton. This was perfect for me. I will be using this for a long time. I really enjoyed how easy it is to use with Ableton. I just hooked it up and made an account and I could use it in the first 15 minutes. The drum pads feel nice. The keys are ok they feel better than most basic keyboards. It's a little big to be moved around a ton, but not unbearable just a little inconvenient. The only other thing I don't enjoy is it gets dusty easily. But other than that I would recommend it to everyone!

I've just set up the Novation Launchkey 49 MK 3, and I can't get over how great it is! I upgraded from my M-Audio Oxygen 49. My old MIDI keyboard was a faff to get integrated with Ableton, so I wasn't really making use of the features outside the actual piano keys. The difference is like night & day, this really feels like an upgrade. Firstly, the Launchkey is class-compliant, which means you can truly plug & play. Ableton automatically detected the Launchkey and set it up, so no fiddling around in Ableton's settings. The first thing I did was register on the Novation website and watch a couple of tutorials. These explained how to make the most of your Launchkey. How the different menu functions work, the pads and the faders, how to use the pads for launching in session view, how to drum with the pads and to record MIDI musical parts. For me, the menu system will take some getting used to, but I can tell that when I've got my workflow sorted, it will become pretty easy. There are a few features for those who aren't skilled piano/keyboard players. From within the Launchkey, you can select a type of scale (F Minor for instance), and the keyboard will 'help' your playing so that you don't play any wrong notes. Great for a novice like me. There are also chord and arp functions, which are especially handy for those making electronic or house music. The product itself feels good quality, looks professional, and has so many features that I'm sure I'll still be learning new stuff in a month. If you buy this I really recommend watching the tutorials on the Novation website to get used to it, and you can really unlock the power of this keyboard. The Launchkey will work with other DAWs such as FL Studio, Cubase, etc, but I have not tested it on those so I could not comment on how well it integrates. But it is important to note that the Launchkey was designed for use with Ableton. I'm fairly sure you can map it to any DAW, as is usual these days, but it won't be as quick to use out of the box. Two Thumbs Fresh! System Requirements: Windows 10 or higher Ableton 10 or higher (Intro, Standard or Suite)

Excellent keyboard and fun to use with fl studio

It hasn't let me down since I purchased it. Quite happy with it. Used on both legacy Macs and Windows machines and it does as promised. Interfaces well with Cubase 13 and Nuendo 13 as well. Keys feel good. I'm a guitar player, so I'm probably less finicky than a concert pianist. But I like this thing. :)

Enfin le clavier que je voulais. Après bientôt 1 an d'utilisation, il est tjs aussi performant. Le câble a l'air résistant, j'y fais très attention.
