Novation Launchkey Bedienungsanleitung

Getting Started Guide

Launchkey

Thank you for buying Novation Launchkey. Producing and performing

great electronic music is about to become quicker, easier and more fun than ever before!

We designed Launchkey speciﬁcally to make it as simple as possible for you to control Ableton Live.

You just plug in via USB and get hands-on control of your grid, instruments, effects and mixer.

Don’t worry if you don’t use Ableton Live. Your Launchkey will map to other major music software too,

and even control the music-making apps on your iPad if you connect it using a Camera Connection Kit.

Getting started is straightforward, but please read this guide carefully the ﬁrst time you use your Launchkey.

It will help you get up and running as smoothly as possible.

Inside this guide you’ll ﬁnd an instruction card for downloading and registering Ableton Live Lite. Follow these instructions and jump back

here when you’ve got it running.

Using Launchkey with other software

Launchkey can be used with any MIDI compatible software and most software now has MIDI learn functionality. Please check your software

documentation for more information.

5. Quick Conﬁgure

In Ableton Live, go to the menu and click Preferences. From the list of tabs on the left, click the MIDI / Sync tab and you will see the following:

Click the ﬁrst drop down box under Control Surface.

Choose Launchkey MK2 from the list.

Under Input and Output select

Launchkey MK2 (Launchkey InControl).

Get Started

6. InControl of your music software

When you have correctly conﬁgured Live you will notice that the InControl lights will come on. Launchkey’s unique ‘InControl’ mode is designed to work

seamlessly with Live to control the parameters that are most important to your workﬂow.

Alternatively, if you wish your Launchkey to operate as a standard MIDI keyboard, simply press and release the ‘InControl’ buttons to turn off ‘InControl’

and switch the faders (49 and 61 key only), knobs and pads back to basic MIDI mode. This is really useful in Live for MIDI learn.

Note: In most DAWs, ‘pot pickup’ is enabled by default. This means that knobs and faders on the screen will move only when the physical control being

moved has travelled past the position shown on the screen. This helps to avoid sudden jumps in parameters.

For further information on how to set up Launchkey in your DAW, see the downloadable User Guide.
