The Novation AMS-LAUNCHKEY-61-MK4-WH is designed for producers and performers who need deep, immediate DAW control without menu-diving. The 61-note semi-weighted waterfall keybed delivers expressive playability suited to both studio composition and live performance. Sixteen velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch extend the controller beyond basic triggering, enabling nuanced drum programming and instrument articulation. Eight rotary encoders and nine faders provide instant hands-on access to mixer channels, virtual instruments, and effects across Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason, Bitwig, and Ardour, all with zero setup required.
Built-in creative tools set this controller apart from basic MIDI keyboards in the same price class. A full Arpeggiator, three Chord Modes including Fixed Chord, User Chord, and Chord Maps, and a Scale Mode that locks the keybed to a chosen key accelerate songwriting without requiring theory expertise. A Chord Detector reads played chords in real time and displays them on the OLED screen. The keyboard can be split into two independent zones or layered to send two MIDI channels simultaneously, covering complex live rig setups. A full-size 5-pin MIDI output allows direct connection to hardware synthesizers and drum machines, extending usefulness beyond the DAW environment.
USB bus power via Type-C keeps the desk clean and portable. NKS compatibility provides a direct bridge to Native Instruments software libraries, and full customization is available through Novation Components for parameter mapping. Class-compliant operation means no driver installation on Mac, Windows, or iOS. Ableton Live Lite and a suite of virtual instruments are included, making this a complete production starting point for studio musicians and live electronic performers alike.
