Description

Built to elevate your workflow, the Launchkey 37 MK4 represents a bold evolution of Novation’s renowned controller series. Now with deeper integration, expanded creative tools and refined tactile feedback, it’s a leap forward for producers seeking hands-on expression. With immediate plug-and-play compatibility for all major DAWs — including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase and more — it’s designed to feel like a natural extension of your studio. Launchkey 37 MK4 features MIDI over USB-C, a full-size 5-pin MIDI output and bus-powered convenience. Add polyphonic aftertouch pads, velocity-sensitive synth-action keys and Novation’s signature deep integration, and you’ve got a compact powerhouse built to inspire.

Expressive Playing Meets Real-Time Response

Performance starts with feel, and Launchkey 37 MK4 delivers. The 37-key synth-action keybed is designed for fast, expressive playing with just the right amount of resistance for accurate articulation. Complementing the keys are 16 RGB drum pads featuring polyphonic aftertouch and radial pressure sensitivity — perfect for nuanced finger drumming, clip launching and expressive pad-based instruments. A bright OLED screen keeps you connected to your session in real time, while eight endless encoders and pitch/mod wheels put creative control at your fingertips. Whether in the studio or on stage, every movement translates with clarity.

Inspire Instantly With Chord, Scale and Arpeggiator Modes

Creativity flows freely with Launchkey MK4’s intelligent musical modes. Scale Mode locks the keyboard to 30 selectable scales, letting you play with confidence in any key. Three Chord Modes — Fixed, User and the all-new Chord Maps — allow you to trigger sophisticated harmonies from single keys or pads, unlocking new compositional ideas. The upgraded Arpeggiator offers step editing, mutation and rhythmic shaping, helping you craft complex sequences on the fly. With the integrated Chord Detector visualized on the OLED screen, you can quickly explore harmonic territory and refine ideas in real time.

Seamless Control Over Your Entire Setup

Getting hands-on with your DAW has never felt more immediate. Launchkey 37 MK4 integrates effortlessly with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason and Bitwig — with no setup required. DAW Transport Mode delivers instant access to transport, mix and device parameters, while MIDI CC mapping lets you shape external synths with precision. Launchkey also includes four Custom Modes via Novation Components, allowing you to assign pads, knobs and controls to any MIDI message. For hardware users, the full-size 5-pin MIDI out means Launchkey can control your outboard synths with ease — no computer necessary.

Powered by Novation’s Premium Software Ecosystem

Launchkey 37 MK4 is more than a controller — it’s a full creative toolkit. Included is Ableton Live 12 Lite, along with powerful sound design tools like the GForce 4-in-1 synth bundle (Bass Station, Oberheim SEM, OB-EZ and AXXESS), Novation Play with 80+ curated patches and orchestral textures from Orchestral Tools. Shape your sound with Klevgrand’s LUXE, RO-Verb and Slammer plugins, or hone your skills with custom lessons from Melodics. From studio to stage, Launchkey 37 MK4 offers an inspiring starting point for producers of all skill levels, fully compatible with Mac, PC and iOS.

Versatility That Travels With You

Whether you’re crafting beats on a desktop rig, rehearsing with hardware synths or building loops on the go, Launchkey 37 MK4 fits into any setup. The streamlined build and USB-C bus power make it a go-to controller for mobile sessions, while its robust chassis ensures reliable use over the long haul. Full iOS support means it works seamlessly with apps like Novation Launchpad or Ampify Groovebox. For modern producers, sound designers and musicians who need power and portability, Launchkey 37 MK4 is your flexible, expressive and road-ready controller — ready whenever inspiration strikes.
