The Launchkey Line, Designed for Immediate Creation
A true benchmark among compact keyboard controllers, the Launchkey 25 is part of a range known for its simplicity and reliability. This 25-note model focuses on the essentials: responsive keys, backlit FSR pads, precise encoders, and a clear OLED screen to keep your parameters and chords in view without disrupting your creative flow.
The Companion for Mobile Producers, Beatmakers, and Performers
Ideal for building beats, playing virtual instruments, or controlling a live set, it excels in small spaces and mobile setups. Its bus-powered USB-C connection, 3.5 mm MIDI output, and sustain pedal input provide quick setup whether you're in a home studio, rehearsal, or on stage.
Create, Play, and Control Your DAW Seamlessly
The Launchkey 25 offers a comprehensive control surface: dedicated transport controls, track navigation, pitch bend and modulation ribbons, 8 encoders, and essential commands (MIDI Capture, Undo, Quantize, Metronome). The "Scale" and "Chord" modes secure your melodies and progressions; the customizable arpeggiator opens up modern rhythmic textures, while the "Chord Detector" instantly displays the played chord on the OLED for confident learning, composing, and performing.
Thanks to the RGB FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch, your drum patterns, scene launches, and performance nuances gain dynamic range and expressiveness. Tight integration with major DAWs, including the included Ableton Live Lite, allows you to launch clips and scenes, automate, and mix without leaving your keyboard, ensuring a smooth and musical workflow.
