Introduction
The Launchkey Mini [MK3] is Novation’s most portable MIDI keyboard controller. Though compact
in size, Launchkey Mini is packed with powerful features and a streamlined workflow that will
elevate your music production and performance.
Launchkey Mini integrates perfectly with Ableton Live (and other DAWs) for both production and
performance. You can navigate and control Live’s Session View, play and record clips, adjust
effects and much more without ever looking at your computer. Additionally, we provide you with a
license for Ableton Live Lite should you need one.
Launchkey Mini features a creative arpeggiator (‘Arp’), as well as ‘Fixed Chord’ mode – both of
which make finding new musical ideas easier. Launchkey Mini’s pads bring your Ableton Session
to your fingertips in full RGB colour, so you know exactly which clips you’re launching. Finally, you
can make Launchkey Mini the perfect controller for your studio or on the go with Custom modes,
where you can customise knobs and pads using Novation Components.
The Launchkey Mini also features a standard TRS MIDI Out 3.5mm jack for connecting to your
hardware synths and drum machines. This means you can use many of the Launchkey Mini’s
functions without a computer!
