Product Overview

Full Expression and Total Command

The Launchkey 49 MK4 is built for producers who need a full-sized playing experience without sacrificing smart, modern features. This generation features a redesigned, premium aesthetic with upgraded hardware that bridges the gap between your creative ideas and your software. With its 49-key range, it is the ideal size for two-handed playing while remaining sleek enough for any desktop setup.

Product Description

Professional Performance Interface:

The MK4 features a high-quality semi-weighted keybed that offers a more piano-like response than standard MIDI keyboards. For rhythmic expression, it is equipped with 16 patented FSR RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch, allowing you to modulate individual drum sounds or synth notes simply by varying pressure. The integrated OLED display provides instant feedback, ensuring you stay focused on your music rather than your computer screen.

Comprehensive Control Surface:

Take full control of your mix with 8 rotary encoders and 9 full-sized faders. These are pre-mapped to your DAW's mixer and plugins via deep integration scripts. Whether you are using Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, or Cubase, the Launchkey 49 MK4 provides a tactile, hands-on workflow for adjusting volume, pan, and effects parameters in real-time.

Advanced Creative Tools:

The Launchkey 49 is packed with smart features to inspire your songwriting. Scale Mode locks your playing to one of 30 scales to ensure you never hit a wrong note, while Chord Map and User Chord modes allow for complex harmonic progressions with a single touch. The built-in generative arpeggiator includes an 8-step editor for creating evolving patterns, and the full-size 5-pin MIDI Out allows you to drive your hardware synths directly.
