Syncs so well with ableton and keys and buttons and knobs are really good and feel easy to play. Review: A must have for all 'ABLETON' users - So I'm gonna keep it short and simple. This is a great product with multiple features specifically designed to be integrated with ableton. I haven't got a chance to use it with any other daw. So, if you're an ableton user and looking to buy a MIDI keyboard on a fairly priced budget, then not going for this one is a no-brainer. For all other daw users, I'm sure it will work fine but you might miss out on some features like session control, direct play and record buttons etc. But as all things have a downside, this one is no exception. The pitch and modulation feature is decent at best. It doesn't have a traditional knob or a slider but rather a sort of touch pad wich you can use to control the sound via moving your finger up and down on it. Kind of like a trackpad on a laptop. The bends are very unreliable and I'm sure there are other keyboards out there that are better in this aspect. So if that's a deal-breaker for you than you should skip out on this one. The keys feel quite good and premium but if you're a pianist then you might feel that the strokes are a bit soft. (Didn't feel it too much, just a bit). The connecting cable is not a regular Type C to Type C. Rather, it's an old type A cable to a type C. Since it comes with a cable, that's not too much of an issue but good luck if you need a new one. All in all I give this product a Solid 8.5. Would have been a 9 if not for the pitch and modulation feature. TL;DR- If you use ableton, BUY THIS KEYBOARD. It's worth every penny. If you use any other daw then explore all options before settling on this. ## Features - Deep Ableton Live Integration – Immediate access to all the controls you need and never lose ideas or happy accidents with the Capture Midi function. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07WJZCPT3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,265 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #8 in MIDI Controller | | Brand | Novation | | Brand Name | Novation | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Type | XLR | | Control Method | App | | Control Type | Keyboard Controller | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,062 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00815301001201 | | Hardware Platform | PC/Mac | | Human Interface Input | Keyboard | | Importer Contact Information | ProMusicals, 25, Casa Major Road, Egmore, Chennai-600 008 Ph:044 2819 3445 | | Instrument | MIDI-compatible instrument | | Instrument Key | Any | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 17.2D x 33W x 4.1H Centimeters | | Item Type Name | MIDI Controller | | Item Weight | 1.61 Pounds | | Keyboard Description | Ergonomic | | Manufacturer | Focusrite Audio Engineering Ltd., Windsor House, Turnpike Rd, High Wycombe HP12 3FX, United Kingdom, Novation | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Focusrite Audio Engineering Ltd., Windsor House, Turnpike Rd, High Wycombe HP12 3FX, United Kingdom | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Launchkey Mini MK3 | | Model Number | AMS-LAUNCHKEY-MINI-MK3 | | Model Year | 2020 | | Noise Control | None | | Number Of Keys | 25 | | Number of Keys | 25 | | Outer Material Type | Plastic | | Packer Contact Information | ProMusicals, 25, Casa Major Road, Egmore, Chennai-600 008 Ph:044 2819 3445 | | Platform | Mac, Windows 10, Windows 7, iOS | | Product Dimensions | 17.2D x 33W x 4.1H Centimeters | | Product Style | USB MIDI Keyboard | | Special Feature | Portable | | Special Features | Portable | | Supported Software | Ableton Live | | Total USB Ports | 1 | | UPC | 815301001201 | | Warranty Description | 3 year manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Novation - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Model Name:** Launchkey Mini MK3 - **Number of Keys:** 25 - **Special Feature:** Portable ## Images ![Launchkey Mini [MK3] 25-Mini-Key MIDI Keyboard - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pqbD+rOhL.jpg) ![Launchkey Mini [MK3] 25-Mini-Key MIDI Keyboard - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WXf1hauDL.jpg) ![Launchkey Mini [MK3] 25-Mini-Key MIDI Keyboard - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jxdlpWpNL.jpg) ![Launchkey Mini [MK3] 25-Mini-Key MIDI Keyboard - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C1k8L6SVL.jpg) ![Launchkey Mini [MK3] 25-Mini-Key MIDI Keyboard - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N8xBqEheL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: have you used this with Mainstage 3?** A: Hello, You can certainly use the Launchkey 37 with mainstage. If you have any other questions about the Launchkey 37 then please do contact Novation directly as I see that you have asked a few different questions here but separately on Amazon. Best regards, Jay Lilley // Focusrite Novation Technical Support Engineer **Q: Can this be used independently with no laptop? Asking for my nephew who is a total beginner and needs something he can use independently.** A: You have to keep in mind this needs to be plugged in with a DAW to control sounds. The MK3 Mini comes with free versions of Ableton and ProTools, I highly recommend Ableton. It also comes with some free instruments, like the Lounge Lizard keyboard plugin. It has a set up guide built in on its website. Your nephew will have to do some research on DAW's and MIDI before he can get started. Luckily there are plenty of beginner videos on YouTube. **Q: Does this controller come with abelton live, or do you have to buy abelton live separatly to use it?** A: Hello, Yes, this will come with Ableton Live 10 Lite that can be used with your Launchkey 49. Best regards, Anthony // Novation Support **Q: Does it come with a usb cable? And is it compatible with ableton live 10** A: Yes, it comes with an USB cable, mine was orange, but I seen some boxes that come with a black USB cable. And yes, it works great with Ableton Live 10, 11, etc. As a matter of fact I believe it's designed for working with Ableton, even though I have used it with FL Studio 20 too... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great midi controller *by S***E on 30 May 2025* Great midi keyboard for the price.
