As the flagship 88-note model, the Launchkey 88 MK3 targets musicians seeking piano-like feel while controlling their digital audio workstation. This MK3 generation marks a significant evolution with a high-quality semi-weighted keyboard, deeper DAW integration, and creative modes that modernize everyday composition.
Ideal for pianist-producers, arrangers, and live performers, the Launchkey 88 MK3 fits naturally in home studios as well as on stage. It excels with Ableton Live but is equally effective with Logic, Cubase, Reason, Studio One, or Pro Tools (via HUI). Thanks to its 5-pin MIDI DIN output, it also controls your synths and external modules without a computer.
Creative modes - The "Scale" and "Chord" modes secure harmony and trigger rich chords at your fingertips. The arpeggiator offers instant patterns, and the "Strum" mode humanizes your progressions with a single gesture.
Extended DAW control - Access key Ableton Live functions: transport, MIDI Capture, quantize, metronome, looping, track arm, scene launching, navigation, and device select/lock. Everything is designed to compose without taking your hands off the keyboard.
Playability and feel - The semi-weighted keyboard provides natural resistance and precise tactile feedback. The 16 RGB pads are highly sensitive for finger drumming and clip launching, while the sustain pedal adds phrasing and hold essential for piano parts.
Studio-ready connectivity - USB bus-powered for a clean setup, 5-pin MIDI DIN output for hardware, and a 16x2 display to keep essentials in view. Custom Modes allow you to tailor the controller to your setup.
