Essential Information About the Novation Launchkey 88 MK3 MIDI Master Keyboard

  • 88-note semi-weighted keyboard for piano-like playability and precise velocity response.
  • Advanced Ableton Live integration with transport controls, MIDI Capture, quantization, scene launching, and track navigation.
  • Creative modes "Scale," "Chord," arpeggiator, and "Strum" (firmware v1.1) to inspire creativity.
  • Expanded control via 16 RGB velocity-sensitive pads, 8 potentiometers, pitch/mod wheels, and 5-pin MIDI DIN output.

The Large Format of the Launchkey Range, Designed for Expressiveness

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.

Who Is It For and What Is It For?

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.

Immediate Creativity, Smooth Workflow

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.
