Novation Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 Master-tangentbord White

Novation Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 White — Compact DAW Controller with Deep Integration

The Novation Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 White packs 37 velocity-sensitive synth-action mini-keys into a USB bus-powered chassis weighing just 0.98 kg. It ships with custom DAW scripts for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason, Bitwig, Ardour, and Reaper — no manual mapping required. This controller is the right choice for producers who need a portable sketchpad.

What Sets This Controller Apart

Built around 16 RGB pads with Novation's patented FSR radial sensor and polyphonic aftertouch, this controller gives each pad independent pressure response. A built-in generative arpeggiator pairs with an 8-step editor featuring tie, accent, and ratchet controls — letting you mutate sequences while staying locked to Scale Mode's 30 scales.

Keybed and Pad Performance

The keybed and pad section is where this controller earns its place in any studio or live rig.

• Keys: 37 velocity-sensitive synth-action mini-keys — responsive enough for dynamic basslines and lead work
• Pads: 16 RGB backlit with polyphonic aftertouch — each pad responds to independent pressure for expressive drumming and clip launching across the full pad bank
• Display: 128 x 64 monochrome OLED — shows parameter values, chord names, and scale notes in real time

Encoders, Pitch Control, and Connectivity

Hands-on control extends well beyond the keys and pads.

• Encoders: 8 endless rotary encoders — switch between Plugin, Mixer, Sends, and Transport modes
• Pitch Bend: Touch strip — paired with a matching modulation touch strip for expressive performance gestures
• Connectivity: USB-C bus powered, 3.5mm TRS MIDI OUT, 1/4" sustain pedal input — class-compliant on Mac, Windows, and iOS; no dedicated headphone output
