The Creative Novation Launchkey 49 MK4

Made for creative music makers, the new Launchkey puts deep DAW control, Ableton Live sequencing, and a generative arpeggiator at your fingertips — with chord and scale tools, a pro-grade software bundle, and a re-engineered design that feels like an instrument.

Play music. Get creative.

Control your software and unlock new musical ideas with the new Launchkey. Play instinctively with Scale, Fixed Chord, and Chord Map, shape evolving rhythms with the arpeggiator, and take hands-on control of your DAW to turn inspiration into tracks.

16 Launchpad-style pads

For finger drummers, the Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 White features our patented, velocity-sensitive FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Each pad uses a unique radial sensor for greater sensitivity and consistency, delivering tighter, more expressive performances. They can also be set to trigger chords or individual notes with polyphonic aftertouch.

Launchkey includes a unique software bundle to get you creating straight away. Ableton Live Lite and Cubase LE help you capture ideas, Novation Play gives Launchkey a voice with its meticulously sampled synths, and you also get additional instruments and effects from Klevgrand, GForce, Native Instruments, and Orchestral Tools — plus lessons from Melodics.
