Novation Launchkey 37 MK4 MIDI Keyboard & Controller

Powerful 37-Key DAW Controller With Built-In Chord, Scale & Arpeggiator Tools For Effortless Music Creation – Novation Launchkey 37 MK4.

The Novation Launchkey 37 MK4 is a powerful DAW controller built for creative music makers, combining three octaves of full-size synth-action keys, eight endless rotary encoders and 16 velocity-sensitive pads for playing drums, instruments and launching clips. Re-engineered to feel like a genuine instrument, it puts deep DAW control, Ableton Live sequencing and a generative arpeggiator directly at your fingertips. Built-in Chord and Scale modes work hand-in-hand with the OLED display to make staying in key effortless — play instinctively with Scale mode, Fixed Chord and Chord Map, and shape evolving rhythms with the powerful built-in arpeggiator and step editor, so inspiration is never far away.

Custom DAW integration with Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason, Bitwig and Ardour provides deep and seamless control, with instant switching between plugin, mixer, sends and transport modes keeping sessions moving without reaching for the mouse. In Ableton Live, built-in Sequencer, Drum Rack and Clip modes allow ideas to be built and launched entirely from the controller. The 16 patented velocity-sensitive FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch use a unique radial sensor for tighter, more expressive finger drumming performances, and can also be set to trigger chords or individual notes. Workflow buttons provide instant access to Capture MIDI, undo, quantise and metronome toggle, and the package includes a generous pro-grade software bundle: Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE, Novation Play, GForce heritage synth emulations, Klevgrand Slammer, the Orchestral Tools Parallel Orchestra bundle, Klevgrand R0Verb and Luxe effects, and Melodics lessons.

16 Launchpad-Style Pads & 37 Synth-Style Keys

The 16 patented velocity-sensitive FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch each use a unique radial sensor for greater sensitivity and consistency, delivering tighter and more expressive finger drumming performances than conventional pads. They can be set to trigger chords or individual notes with full polyphonic aftertouch for genuinely musical playing. The 37 full-size, synth-action keys provide a full three-octave range, combining the feel of a premium hardware instrument with the power of a software-based workflow, with velocity sensitivity allowing real emotion to be added to basslines, melodies, chords and even programmed drums.

Chord, Scale & Arpeggiator Tools

Scale mode offers 30 built-in scales to keep every note perfectly in key, while Chord Map, Fixed Chord and User Chord modes make it easy to play rich musical progressions instantly — ideal for sketching out ideas without waiting for inspiration to strike. The powerful built-in arpeggiator with step editor shapes evolving rhythms and patterns, working alongside the OLED display to keep all creative tools clear and accessible at a glance.

Seamless DAW Integration & Workflow Controls

Eight endless encoders provide flexible hands-on control with dedicated modes for plugins, mixer, sends and transport, plus four custom encoder modes for mapping controls to any setup. Custom DAW scripts deliver deep integration with Ableton Live 11 or later, Logic X and 11, Cubase 11 and 12, Reason Studios, FL Studio and Ardour, with HUI compatibility covering all other DAWs. In Ableton Live, built-in Sequencer, Drum Rack and Clip modes allow tracks to be built and launched without reaching for the mouse, and workflow buttons including Capture MIDI, undo, quantise and metronome toggle keep production moving quickly and intuitively.
