INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this Novation Launchkey Mini MIDI controller keyboard. As well as

the music keyboard itself, Launchkey Mini is equipped with a range of controllers to allow the

modern musician to create great music in the studio, in live performance or on the move. The

keyboard allows you to control your existing Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software, and also

the included V-Station and Bass Station software plug-ins, the Launchkey iPad synth app and

the Launchpad iPad loop-triggering app. Together, this unique software-hardware combination

allows instant, real-time tweaking of synth parameters, loops and audio effects.

This guide will introduce you to Launchkey Mini and explain the various ways you can use it

with your music software in your recording set-up.

Launchkey Mini includes Novation’s InControl mode, which gives you a simple yet powerful way

of controlling all your favourite music software applications.

With Launchkey Mini you have two ways of working:

• InControl – automatically maps Launchkey Mini’s rotary controls onto your essential DAW

parameters, such as channel faders or pan.

• Basic Mapping mode – use Launchkey Mini as a conventional MIDI controller, where

each control transmits a dedicated MIDI CC (Continuous Controller) message, while the

launch pads and keys transmit MIDI Note data.

For additional information, up to date support articles and a form to contact our Technical

Support Team please visit the Novation Answerbase at: www.novationmusic.com/answerbase

About This Manual

We’ve tried to make this manual as helpful as possible for all types of user, both newcomers to

computer music and those more experienced, and this inevitably means some users will want

to skip over certain parts of it, while relative novices will want to avoid certain parts of it until

they’re condent they’ve mastered the basics.

However, there are a few general points that are useful to know about before you continue

reading this manual. We’ve adopted some graphical conventions within the text, which we hope

all types of user will nd helpful in navigating through the information to nd what they need to

know quickly:

English

Abbreviations, conventions, etc.

Where top panel controls or side panel connectors are referred to, we’ve used a number thus:

[6] to cross-reference to the diagram. (See page 10.)

We’ve used CAPS to name physical things like top panel controls and side panel connectors,

and also on-screen buttons which you need to click, and bold Courier font to denote text

which you see on the computer screen.

Tips

These do what it says on the tin: we include bits of advice, relevant to the

topic being discussed that should simplify setting up Launchkey Mini to do

what you want. It’s not mandatory that you follow them, but generally they

should make life easier.

Power Requirements

Launchkey Mini will normally be powered from your computer or iPad via its side panel USB

connector. DC power will be supplied by the computer through the standard USB cable. We

recommend that you connect Launchkey Mini directly to a computer’s native USB port, and not

via a USB hub.

A word about laptops:

When powering Launchkey Mini from a computer you should be aware that

although the USB specication agreed by the IT industry states that a USB port

should be able to supply 0.5 A at 5 V, some computers - particularly laptops – are unable

to supply this current. Unreliable operation may result in such a case. When powering

Launchkey Mini from a laptop’s USB port, it is recommended that the laptop is powered

from AC mains rather than its internal battery.

Hardware Overview

13 4

5 8

9 10

Launchkey Mini’s controls are non-assignable. This makes Launchkey Mini very simple to congure

and use.

1 Keyboard – 25-note synth-action mini-key keyboard.

2 8 x rotary controls, providing DAW/MIDI control.

3 16 x velocity-sensitive launch pads. These can be used to trigger sounds (e.g., drums) in

your music software and provide other functions in some DAWs and the Novation iPad apps.

42 x round buttons. These can be used for custom functions in the apps, or in your DAW.

5 InControl button; this switches the operating mode of the rotary controls and launch pads

between InControl and Basic Mapping Mode. It can also be used to set Launchkey Mini’s

MIDI channel. See page 13.

6Octave + / – buttons – shift the keyboard ‘up’ or ‘down’ in octave steps. Pressing the two

buttons together cancels the octave shift.

7Track I / H buttons – use these to change tracks in your music software or to switch

between Novation iPad apps (Iswitches to the Launchkey app, H to the Launchpad app).

8Kand J buttons - use these to select different rows of pads in the Novation Launchpad

app. They also provide various control functions in some DAWs.

9USB port – Micro-B USB connector compatible with USB 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0. Connect

Launchkey Mini to a USB port on your computer or iPad using the USB cable supplied.

10 Kensington security slot – secure your Launchkey Mini to a convenient structural point

if desired. Please see http://www.kensington.com/kensington/us/us/s/1704/kensington-

security-slot.aspx for further information on how to use this feature.
