The Novation Launchkey 61 White is a USB master keyboard with a white casing, natural white keys, and anthracite gray altered keys. It features 61 semi-weighted keys, Split and Layer modes, 16 FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch, 9 faders, 8 encoders, transpose buttons for advanced control of major DAW software, a 5-pin DIN MIDI output, and a sustain pedal input. It features creative tools for generating chords, scales, and patterns.

The Novation Launchkey 61 White is a USB master keyboard designed to offer in-depth control over leading modern DAW software, combining a 61-key semi-weighted keyboard with a comprehensive control surface and a suite of built-in creative tools. The white finish gives it an elegant, contemporary look while retaining all the advanced features that have made the Launchkey MK4 series a benchmark in the world of software-based music production.

Thanks to native integration with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason, Bitwig, and Ardour, the Launchkey 61 White lets you control transport, the mixer, plug-ins, virtual instruments, clips, and scenes without complex setup procedures. The controls are immediately available, allowing you to stay focused on the creative process.

The 61-key full-size waterfall keyboard with semi-weighted action offers precise and expressive response, suitable for both composition and live performance. Rounding out the performance section are 16 dynamic-sensitive FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch, designed for finger drumming, clip triggering, melodic performance, and advanced control of virtual instruments.

The control surface also features 9 faders, 8 continuous encoders, dedicated buttons, and an OLED display, providing instant access to the most important DAW and plug-in parameters. The display lets you monitor values and functions without having to constantly take your eyes off the instrument.

The built-in creative features are one of the Launchkey series' key strengths. Scale Mode ensures you always play in the desired key, while Fixed Chord, User Chord, and Chord Maps modes let you quickly build chords and harmonic progressions. The Chord Detector displays the chords you play in real time. The advanced arpeggiator further expands your compositional possibilities by allowing you to generate complex melodic and rhythmic patterns.

The Split and Layer modes allow you, respectively, to divide the keyboard into two independent zones or to control multiple instruments simultaneously via different MIDI channels. These features make the Launchkey 61 White particularly versatile both in the studio and during live performances.

The 5-pin MIDI DIN output allows for direct connection to hardware synthesizers, sound modules, and other MIDI equipment. Thanks to its class-compliant USB-C connection, the master keyboard is also compatible with Mac and Windows computers as well as iOS devices.

NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) compatibility ensures seamless integration with the Native Instruments ecosystem, while the free Novation Components software allows you to create custom mappings and save configurations that can be recalled directly from the hardware.

The software bundle includes Ableton Live 12 Lite, Cubase LE, Melodics, Novation Play, Native Instruments Komplete Select, and a rich selection of virtual instruments and professional effects developed by GForce, Klevgrand, and Orchestral Tools, offering a complete system to start producing music right away.
