Novation Launchkey 88 MK4 MIDI Keyboard Controller w/ Premium Semi-Weighted Keys

The Novation Launchkey 88 MK4 is a full-size MIDI keyboard controller built around 88 premium semi-weighted keys that deliver authentic piano feel with velocity sensitivity. This controller combines extensive hands-on control with deep DAW integration, offering eight RGB velocity-sensitive pads, nine rotary encoders, and nine 60mm faders. The MK4 architecture provides comprehensive control over virtual instruments and mixing parameters without relying solely on a mouse and screen. Connectivity includes both USB and standard 5-pin MIDI output, allowing connection to hardware synthesisers and modules alongside computer-based production setups. The control surface features dedicated transport controls, Scale Mode for constraining notes to specific keys and scales, and Chord Mode for triggering full chords from single notes. Power draws directly from USB, eliminating the need for external adapters. Novation includes Ableton Live Lite and a software bundle with the controller, though the hardware functions as a class-compliant MIDI device across all major DAWs including Logic Pro, Cubase, and FL Studio.
