Creative Features at Your Fingertips
Expressive FSR Pads
The 16 velocity-sensitive RGB backlit pads with polyphonic aftertouch capture every nuance precisely. Whether finger drumming, muting, or launching scenes, you benefit from dynamic control and consistent response across the entire surface. Two buttons allow you to browse pad pages to expand your palette.
Assisted Harmony, Always In Tune
The "Scale" mode constrains notes to the key of your track. The three "Chord" modes and the "Fixed Chord" function speed up chord and voicing creation. The "Chord Detector" instantly identifies the played chord and displays it on the OLED screen for smoother learning and workflow.
Adjustable Arpeggiator and DAW Control
The adjustable arpeggiator generates rhythmic and melodic ideas in a flash. On the DAW side, you can launch clips and scenes, control transport, quantization, metronome, and MIDI capture, and map your plugins. The 8 encoders, organized in pages, allow fine-tuning of the mix and effects in real time.
Modern Connectivity, Maximum Mobility
Thanks to USB-C, 3.5 mm mini-jack MIDI out, and 6.35 mm sustain pedal input, the Launchkey Mini 25 integrates seamlessly with both software setups and hardware synths and drum machines. The pitch bend and modulation ribbons, track navigation, and Kensington security slot complete a controller ready for the road.
