Novation Launchkey 49 White MK4 MIDI Keyboard Controller

Expressive 49-Key MIDI Controller for Studio and Stage

The Novation Launchkey 49 White MK4 is a full-sized MIDI keyboard controller featuring a semi-weighted, waterfall-style keybed for expressive and dynamic playability. Designed for both music production and live performance, it integrates deeply with leading DAWs, combining intuitive controls and powerful creative tools in a sleek, USB-C powered design.

Intuitive Control and Deep DAW Integration

Launchkey 49 MK4 offers 16 RGB backlit, velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch, nine faders, eight endless rotary encoders, and dedicated transport controls for hands-on music creation. Its 128 × 64 OLED screen delivers clear visual feedback, while pitch bend and modulation wheels provide precise expressive control. With seamless integration for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason, Bitwig, and more, Launchkey ensures a fluid, mouse-free workflow for your entire session.

More Powerful Creative Tools

Launchkey 49’s creative tools are built directly into the hardware—so they work consistently across your DAW, hardware synths, and mobile devices. Scale Mode lets you lock the keyboard to one of 30 available scales to eliminate wrong notes. Fixed Chord, Chord Map, and User Chord modes enable instant harmonic creativity, while the built-in generative arpeggiator with step editor transforms melodies and rhythms with ease. The Chord Detector feature intelligently identifies chords you play, streamlining composition and improvisation.
