The new Launchkey is a controller keyboard designed for creative music makers.

As well as enabling detailed hands-on control of all major DAWs, Launchkey comes with powerful tools for creating chords and melodies, a collection of software synths, premium orchestral sample libraries, high-quality effects processors, and a step sequencer for Ableton Live users.

Launchkey has been re-engineered to look, feel, and play like an instrument — from the high-quality keybed and unique patented Launchpad-style FSR pads, to the continuous encoders and crisp, bright OLED display. Launchkey combines these elements with onboard creative tools that allow you to produce chord progressions, bass lines, melodies, and sequences with expression and speed.
