Powerful DAW integration

Launchkey offers powerful, custom integration for: Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, Reason Studios, FL Studio and Ardour. These give you a hardware-driven workflow that gives you full control over transport functions, timeline navigation, mixing and EQ, clip launch, and instrument and effects parameters.

Keys and pads

The Launchkey 37's upgraded keyboard is sensitive enough for the most delicate melodies while being robust enough to withstand the rigors of any type of performance. For finger thumbers, Launchkey has impact-sensitive drum pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Unlike standard pads, Launchkey has a unique radial sensor that improves sensitivity.

Zones

With the Launchkey 37, you can easily divide the keyboard into two distinct zones. Play different sounds with each hand or store two MIDI channels across all 37 keys to send the same notes to both zones. This feature allows you to maximize your creative possibilities and control multiple instruments seamlessly.

Chord Map
