Unlock your creative potential with the Novation Launchkey 25 MK3 keyboard controller. Designed for seamless integration with Ableton Live, this compact controller provides all the tools you need to craft dynamic performances and productions. Its velocity-sensitive keys, RGB pads and intuitive controls let you perform and produce with expression from anywhere.

Fluid Workflow With Tight Ableton Integration

The Launchkey 25 MK3 automatically maps its controls to Ableton Live's functions right out of the box, allowing an immediate hands-on workflow. The 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads correspond perfectly to Live's Session View for launching clips and scenes. Eight knobs give you direct access to tweaking synth parameters, mixer levels and effects—no menus to navigate. You can even use the Launchkey as a sturdy control surface for your favorite third-party plug-ins while recording straight into Live.

Unleash Your Musical Expression

With its 25 synth-style velocity-sensitive keys, the Launchkey 25 MK3 captures every nuance of your playing. The keys' lightweight action provides a responsive feel ideal for dynamic performances. Coupled with the velocity-sensitive pads, you can craft punchy rhythms and intricate melodic phrases with precision. RGB illumination keeps you aware of what's playing at all times. The pads can also double as a portable beatmaker, letting you quickly capture ideas on the fly.

Take It Anywhere With a Portable Design

Despite its robust controls, the Launchkey 25 MK3 maintains a compact footprint ideal for on-the-go music creation. Its slim profile slips easily into a backpack for mobile use. USB bus-power means you can connect directly to your laptop without needing extra cables or power supplies. And with the included protective bag, you can safely transport the Launchkey between sessions without worry. Its smart design makes it the perfect portable partner for live performances and spontaneous studio sessions alike.

Unlock Even More Creative Possibilities

Beyond its impressive hardware, the Launchkey 25 MK3 includes a versatile software suite to expand your creative options. You get the powerful Ableton Live Lite DAW to record and produce complete tracks. LK Mini Keys gives you playable mini-keyboard versions of classic synths, such as Bass Station and V-Station. There's even XLN Audio's Addictive Keys to explore a world of authentic electric piano and keyboard sounds. With this all-inclusive package, you have everything needed to make inspired Ableton-powered productions wherever inspiration strikes.

For producers and performers who live and breathe Ableton Live, the Novation Launchkey 25 MK3 is the ideal creative companion. Its portable design, expressive controls and deep software integration let you immerse yourself in the music like never before.
