Novation Launchkey 61 MK4 61-Key Keyboard Controller

Novation Launchkey 61 MK4 61-Key Keyboard Controller

The Novation Launchkey 61 MK4 61-Key Keyboard Controller delivers everything that makes the Launchkey MK4 series exceptional — and adds a full five octaves of semi-weighted, waterfall piano-style keys for producers and performers who want maximum melodic range without sacrificing portability. Whether you are composing orchestral lines, layering complex chords, or controlling a multi-instrument live set, the Launchkey 61 MK4 provides the expressive reach and the DAW control depth to match your ambitions. The same 128×64 OLED display, dedicated pitch and modulation wheels, and comprehensive button layout from the Launchkey 49 MK4 are present here in full, ensuring a consistent, professional user experience across the range.

Five Octaves of Expression with Full Creative Integration

As a result of the 61-key layout, the Novation Launchkey 61 MK4 61-Key Keyboard Controller is particularly well suited to pianists and keyboardists who want a wide playing range alongside modern production tools. However, the creative feature set goes far beyond the keybed itself. The 16 RGB FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch bring tactile, pressure-sensitive performance to drum programming and clip launching, while 9 faders, 9 buttons, and 8 endless rotary encoders place full mixer and parameter control at your fingertips. The generative arpeggiator — complete with a step editor supporting tie, accent, and ratchet per step — can produce evolving melodic patterns that feel genuinely alive. Scale Mode (30 scales), Fixed Chord, User Chord, Chord Map, and the OLED Chord Detector round out a feature set that makes music theory exploration feel effortless.

Custom DAW scripts for Ableton Live 11+, Logic Pro, Cubase, Reason, FL Studio, and Ardour ensure that the Launchkey 61 MK4 integrates deeply with your chosen workflow, with transport, mixing, and session controls mapping intelligently to hardware. In addition, NKS compatibility means seamless integration with the entire Native Instruments ecosystem. The controller ships with Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE, Novation Play, Komplete 15 Select, the GForce heritage synth bundle, Orchestral Tools Parallel Orchestra, Klevgrand Slammer, R0verb, and Luxe — a genuinely comprehensive production toolkit. The Novation Launchkey 61 MK4 is available at OneStopMusic South Africa, making it an outstanding choice for South African producers who want the full keyboard experience alongside deep studio integration.

Novation

Founded in Oxford, England in 1992, Novation has spent more than three decades at the forefront of electronic music instrument design. The company built its reputation on accessible, performance-focused hardware — from the original Bass Station, one of the first truly affordable analogue synthesizers, to the BassStation II that brought those circuits into the modern era, through to the pioneering Launchpad, a grid controller that became synonymous with clip-based performance in Ableton Live. Today, Novation's catalogue spans analogue and digital synthesizers, keyboard controllers, and grid controllers, all united by a philosophy of making music creation immediate, expressive, and creatively inspiring. Under the Focusrite Group umbrella, Novation continues to innovate, combining thoughtful hardware design with deep DAW integration and an industry-leading software bundle that ensures every product delivers value from the moment it is unboxed. OneStopMusic South Africa stocks the full Novation range.
