- Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2023Verified PurchaseGreat midi controller, integrates with ableton and other midi devices intuitively and easily. Product finish is high quality, and all pots/faders/pads feel durable and professional.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 4, 2023Verified PurchaseI came from the Launchkey mini and this was a huge improvement. The keyboard feel is better on the Mini version, but the fact of having more keys and control over Ableton and few other features embedded, as fixed chords, makes it amazing. Really good value for price and well built. I'd recommend.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 5, 2020Verified PurchaseI had the MK2 and switched to MK3 and I'm very happy. Much easier to work with using the display. Built-in effects are also very good and easy to use with any DAW. Drum pads feel good and keybed is OK.

- Reviewed in Canada on July 10, 2023Verified PurchaselOVE IT ! GO SEE REVIEWS ONLINE AND YOU WILL KNOW WHY !
- Reviewed in Canada on August 20, 2022Verified PurchaseThis keyboard seems to have serious connectivity issues with Windows. When I first connected it I installed the driver and it was all smooth. I really liked it because it made Ableton even more efficient. I'm into making 50% of my song; I close Ableton go to sleep and the next day I go back to the session and Launch key does not work anymore :// (even though it IS connected to the windows). I contacted support and they told me to check my usb wire is connected directly (duh). I feel really disappointed. I don't know what to do anymore with this.
*Update*
I luckily had created a restore point so I went back to the restore point and the keyboard started showing up in Ableton again. I’m happy I can use the keyboard but it’s scary how it could just disappear anytime

Cliente de AmazonReviewed in Mexico on July 29, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfecto para producir y tocar en vivo con Ableton 11.
Verified PurchaseLo conseguí a MSI y en menos de $4800. Siento que vale un poquito más.
Sólo puedo opinar en su relación con Ableton 11.
Se conecta y está listo para usarse. Si se requiere personalizar, hay un programa que se llama Components que abre las posibilidades de lo que se puede controlar.
Lo necesitaba para liberarme del mouse y poder tocar y controlar Ableton usando éste controlador y un apc mini. Aunque todavía uso el mouse, me ayudó mucho. Quizás un Push 2 (en lugar del apc) sería la clave para poder estar completamente libre de mouse y teclado al producir.
Lo vale.

5.0 out of 5 stars INCRÍVEL
Verified PurchaseTeclas muito boas, funcionalidades ótimas e práticas, com certeza da faixa de preço para quem usa a DAW Ableton Live vale e muito o investimento, sou tecladista, e esse foi o meu primeiro teclado comprado para mim, já experimentei muitos outros de amigos, e nenhum nessa categoria é melhor.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the perfect controller for both beginners and experienced producers.
Verified PurchaseIt is 100% worth the money! I have been making music on an app my on phone for a few years and finally decided to upgrade to Ableton. This was perfect for me. I will be using this for a long time. I really enjoyed how easy it is to use with Ableton. I just hooked it up and made an account and I could use it in the first 15 minutes. The drum pads feel nice. The keys are ok they feel better than most basic keyboards. It's a little big to be moved around a ton, but not unbearable just a little inconvenient. The only other thing I don't enjoy is it gets dusty easily. But other than that I would recommend it to everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really impressive - Seamless Ableton Integration!
Verified PurchaseI've just set up the Novation Launchkey 49 MK 3, and I can't get over how great it is!
I upgraded from my M-Audio Oxygen 49. My old MIDI keyboard was a faff to get integrated with Ableton, so I wasn't really making use of the features outside the actual piano keys.
The difference is like night & day, this really feels like an upgrade.
Firstly, the Launchkey is class-compliant, which means you can truly plug & play. Ableton automatically detected the Launchkey and set it up, so no fiddling around in Ableton's settings.
The first thing I did was register on the Novation website and watch a couple of tutorials. These explained how to make the most of your Launchkey. How the different menu functions work, the pads and the faders, how to use the pads for launching in session view, how to drum with the pads and to record MIDI musical parts. For me, the menu system will take some getting used to, but I can tell that when I've got my workflow sorted, it will become pretty easy.
There are a few features for those who aren't skilled piano/keyboard players. From within the Launchkey, you can select a type of scale (F Minor for instance), and the keyboard will 'help' your playing so that you don't play any wrong notes. Great for a novice like me. There are also chord and arp functions, which are especially handy for those making electronic or house music.
The product itself feels good quality, looks professional, and has so many features that I'm sure I'll still be learning new stuff in a month. If you buy this I really recommend watching the tutorials on the Novation website to get used to it, and you can really unlock the power of this keyboard.
The Launchkey will work with other DAWs such as FL Studio, Cubase, etc, but I have not tested it on those so I could not comment on how well it integrates. But it is important to note that the Launchkey was designed for use with Ableton. I'm fairly sure you can map it to any DAW, as is usual these days, but it won't be as quick to use out of the box.
Two Thumbs Fresh!
System Requirements:
Windows 10 or higher
Ableton 10 or higher (Intro, Standard or Suite)
