Description

The Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 sets a new benchmark for compact MIDI controllers, combining refined performance tools with powerful workflow enhancements. Evolving from its MK3 predecessor, this next-gen model delivers deeper DAW integration, more expressive input and unmatched portability. Seamless compatibility with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase and other major DAWs ensures effortless plug-and-play performance. USB-C MIDI, a full-size 5-pin MIDI output and bus-powered operation give you modern flexibility across studio, stage and mobile setups. With polyphonic aftertouch pads, responsive synth-action keys and creative tools embedded directly in the hardware, Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 is built to turn ideas into finished tracks faster than ever before.

Play With Precision: Responsive Keys and Polyphonic Pads

Playability is at the heart of the Launchkey Mini 37 MK4. The 37-note velocity-sensitive keybed offers a responsive synth-action feel, ideal for expressive melodic playing and tight bass lines. Meanwhile, the 16 RGB pads now feature polyphonic aftertouch and radial sensitivity—providing nuanced control for drum programming, clip launching and synth articulation. The crisp OLED display keeps you connected to your session, offering real-time visual feedback as you adjust parameters. Pitch and mod wheels, eight assignable encoders and custom control mapping complete the tactile setup, making this the ultimate compact controller for responsive performance and creative control.

Scale, Chord and Arpeggiator Modes Inspire Instant Creativity

With an expanded creative toolkit, Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 transforms musical sketches into full compositions. Scale Mode locks your notes to one of 30 scales, eliminating wrong notes and helping you explore fresh tonalities. Chord Modes include Fixed, User and the new Chord Map option—letting you generate lush harmonies with a single pad press. Chord Detector shows you what you're playing in real time on the OLED display, keeping you informed and inspired. And with per-step arpeggiator editing and a variety of playback directions, rhythms and swing settings, the updated arpeggiator injects dynamic movement into your sequences on the fly.

Deep DAW Integration and Custom Control

A controller that adapts to your workflow, Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 integrates directly with your DAW—no setup required. It features DAW Transport Mode and hands-on access to clip launching, mixer control, timeline navigation, instrument parameters and more. Whether you're in Ableton Live’s Session View or Logic Pro’s Live Loops, the hardware responds intuitively. Launchkey’s Components software adds four Custom Modes, so you can tailor faders, pads and knobs to your own setup—perfect for controlling synths or external gear. You also get full NKS support for Native Instruments software, making Launchkey an ideal bridge between your virtual and physical studio tools.
