Presentation
With the Novation Launchkey 25 MK4, you get instant feedback from the OLED display that shows essential information like the chords you’re playing. The 16 RGB-backlit pads, with velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch, allow for dynamic expression, whether you’re finger drumming or launching clips into your DAW.
The Launchkey 25 MK4 offers powerful tools to enrich your creative process.
Its editable arpeggiator, combined with Chord and Scale modes, lets you create complex chord progressions with ease. Chord Map mode gives you additional options for creating chord patterns on the pads, while Scale mode automatically adjusts notes to the chosen key, preventing false notes.
This Novation master keyboard doesn’t just integrate seamlessly with your DAWs; it also connects directly to hardware synthesizers via its MIDI output, so you can expand your setup without the need for a computer.
