49-Key DAW Controller for Producers

The Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 is a compact USB MIDI keyboard controller built for music production. It combines a semi-weighted keybed with deep DAW integration and creative performance tools. The unit suits producers who want hands-on control of their software instruments and session workflow. Its portable form factor fits home studios and mobile rigs alike.

Semi-Weighted Waterfall Keys with FSR Pads

The keyboard features 49 velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted waterfall keys across four octaves. Sixteen FSR RGB backlit pads provide polyphonic aftertouch for expressive drumming and clip launching. Eight programmable encoders and a crisp OLED display add tactile parameter control. This combination of key feel and pad responsiveness defines the playing experience.

USB-C Connectivity with MIDI DIN and Pedal Inputs

The controller connects to computers and smart devices via USB-C for power and data. A 5-pin DIN output links external MIDI hardware without an interface. A 1/4-inch jack accepts a sustain pedal for traditional keyboard technique. Transport, navigation and function buttons keep essential DAW commands at your fingertips.
