Launchkey 37 is a powerful DAW controller with three octaves of synth-style, full-size keys, eight continuous encoders and 16 velocity-sensitive pads for playing drums, instruments and launching clips. Creative Chord and Scale modes are built right in and work with the OLED display to make staying in key effortless.
The Creative Controller
Made for creative music makers, the new Launchkey puts deep DAW control, Ableton Live sequencing, and a generative arpeggiator at your fingertips — with chord and scale tools, a pro-grade software bundle, and a re-engineered design that feels like an instrument.
Play music. Get creative
Control your software and unlock new musical ideas with the new Launchkey. Play instinctively with Scale, Fixed Chord, and Chord Map, shape evolving rhythms with the arpeggiator, and take hands-on control of your DAW to turn inspiration into tracks.
16 Launchpad-style pads
For finger-drummers, Launchkey 25 features our patented, velocity-sensitive FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Each pad uses a unique radial sensor for greater sensitivity and consistency, delivering tighter, more expressive performances. They can also be set to trigger chords or individual notes with polyphonic aftertouch.
