NOVATION Midi Keyboard Launchkey 37 MK3

Novation Launchkey 37 MK3

The Novation Launchkey 37 MK3 is a compact, feature-packed MIDI keyboard controller built for modern music producers and songwriters. Offering 37 full-size, velocity-sensitive keys with a smooth synth-action feel, it hits the perfect balance between playability and desk space — giving you proper two-handed range without the bulk of a larger controller.

Equipped with 16 RGB backlit velocity-sensitive drum pads, 8 assignable rotary knobs, dedicated Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels, a 16x2 LCD screen, and full transport controls (Play, Stop, Record, Loop, Undo), the Launchkey 37 MK3 puts complete creative control at your fingertips.
What truly sets the MK3 apart are its built-in composition tools — Scale Mode, three Chord Modes, an advanced Arpeggiator with Mutate and Deviate functions, and Strum Mode — all running directly on the hardware to keep your workflow fast and inspired. It integrates seamlessly with Ableton Live out of the box and supports all major DAWs. USB bus-powered with no external adapter required, and features a full-size 5-pin MIDI output for standalone hardware synth control.
