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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe four octaves of semi-weighted keys can be split into two zones or layered across two MIDI channels for added performance flexibility, and the nine faders alongside eight encoders provide extensive hands-on control over DAW mixers, virtual instruments and effects, with up to four Custom Modes stored and recalled instantly. Custom DAW integration with Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason, Bitwig and Ardour delivers deep and seamless control, with built-in Sequencer, Drum Rack and Clip modes in Ableton Live allowing ideas to be built and launched without reaching for the mouse. The 16 patented velocity-sensitive FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch use a unique radial sensor for tighter, more expressive finger drumming, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch The Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 In Action...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aCL_PWC9kxI?si=zsq82sAMdQoUBWMM\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e49 Semi-Weighted Keys With Split \u0026amp; Layer Zones\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe four octaves of semi-weighted, waterfall-style keys combine the feel of a premium hardware instrument with the power of a software-based workflow, with velocity sensitivity allowing genuine emotion to be added to basslines, melodies, chords and drums. Parts A and B zones allow the keyboard to be split into two independent sections or layered across two MIDI channels simultaneously — ideal for playing a bass sound with the left hand and a lead or pad sound with the right, or triggering two instruments at once for richer performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFaders, Encoders \u0026amp; Chord\/Scale Tools\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eEight endless encoders and nine faders provide extensive hands-on control over DAW mixers, virtual instruments and effects, with up to four Custom Modes stored for instant recall to shape sounds, balance tracks or send notes, MIDI CCs and program changes.

In Ableton Live, built-in Sequencer, Drum Rack and Clip modes allow tracks to be built and launched directly from the controller, and workflow buttons including Capture MIDI, undo, quantise and metronome toggle keep production moving quickly and intuitively. The 16 patented FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch can be set to trigger chords or individual notes for expressive finger drumming performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKEY FEATURES: Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 MIDI Keyboard \u0026amp; Controller\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e49 Semi-Weighted Keys:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four octaves of waterfall-style keys combine premium instrument feel with software-based workflow control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSplit \u0026amp; Layer Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parts A and B allow the keyboard to be split into two zones or layered across two MIDI channels for added performance flexibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16 Velocity-Sensitive Pads:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patented FSR pads with radial sensors and polyphonic aftertouch deliver tight, expressive finger drumming and chord triggering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 Encoders \u0026amp; 9 Faders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extensive hands-on control over mixers, instruments and effects, with up to four storable Custom Modes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChord \u0026amp; Scale Modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 built-in scales plus Chord Map, Fixed Chord and User Chord modes make staying in key and building progressions effortless.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenerative Arpeggiator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in arpeggiator with step editor shapes evolving rhythms and patterns directly from the keyboard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep DAW Integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom scripts for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason, Bitwig and Ardour, with HUI support for other DAWs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbleton Live Sequencer, Drum Rack \u0026amp; Clip Modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Build and launch ideas directly from the controller without the mouse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorkflow Buttons:\u003c\/strong\u003e Capture MIDI, undo, quantise and metronome toggle keep production fast and intuitive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOLED Display:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128 x 64 monochrome display provides clear visual feedback for all creative and control functions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB-C, 5-pin MIDI out, 1\/4\" sustain pedal input and Kensington security slot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Software:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE, Novation Play, GForce heritage synth emulations, Klevgrand Slammer, Orchestral Tools Parallel Orchestra, Klevgrand R0Verb and Luxe, plus Melodics lessons.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Novation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58037817803087,"sku":"NOVLKE49MK4","price":209.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/3344\/9551\/files\/LK49-MKIV-Straight-Top-2400-2400__86910.webp?v=1782318833","url":"https:\/\/www.audiodirect.co.uk\/products\/novation-launchkey-49-mk4-midi-keyboard-controller","provider":"Audio Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
