Launchkey 88 pairs tight DAW integration and powerful built-in creative tools with a seven-plus octave keybed that’s custom made for expressive playing. You also get eight endless encoders, nine faders, and 16 velocity-sensitive pads for drums, instruments, and clip launching. Plus, Chord and Scale modes work with the OLED display to keep you in key. It gives composers, producers, and performers a full range MIDI keyboard controller with expressive keys and direct access to essential music software controls. Its custom 88 note semi weighted waterfall keybed supports detailed dynamics across more than seven octaves, while the streamlined control surface keeps creative decisions close at hand.
Direct DAW Control
Dedicated integration with Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason, Bitwig, and Ardour lets you manage mixer functions, plugins, sends, clips, and transport controls from the keyboard. Eight endless encoders, 9 faders with buttons, and dedicated workflow controls reduce time spent reaching for a mouse. Other DAWs can be controlled through HUI.
Creative Tools for Chords, Scales, and Patterns
Scale Mode provides 30 built in scales, while Chord Map, Fixed Chord, and User Chord modes support fast harmonic exploration. The generative arpeggiator includes an 8 step editor with tie, accent, and ratchet controls. Split and Layer zones let Parts A and B address different sounds or keyboard ranges, making the controller useful for arrangement, performance, and sound design.
Expressive Pads and Studio Connectivity
Sixteen RGB pads offer velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch for finger drumming, clip launching, chords, and melodic parts. A 128 x 64 OLED display provides clear parameter and mode feedback. USB C connectivity supplies bus power, while a 5 pin MIDI output and sustain pedal input support software and hardware setups. The included USB Type C to Type A cable helps connect the controller to a computer.
Launchkey 88 MK4 brings a piano style playing range, detailed DAW control, and practical composition tools into one focused studio instrument.
