The Essentials to Know About the Launchkey 37 MIDI Controller
- 37-key keyboard with synth-style feel featuring pitch/mod ribbons and a OLED screen for immediate feedback.
- 16 RGB FSR pads velocity-sensitive with polyphonic aftertouch for expressive playing.
- Accelerated creativity: editable arpeggiator, Scale and Chord modes, and an on-screen "Chord Detector".
- Deep integration with DAWs: clip/scene launching, mixing and plugins, plus transport controls.
A New Generation in the Launchkey Line
Heir to a range acclaimed by producers and performers, the Launchkey 37 modernizes the master keyboard experience. The addition of an OLED screen, FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch, and intelligent harmonic tools establish this model as a compact reference for creating faster, with more expression, both in the studio and on stage.
Who Is It For, and What For?
Ideal for beatmakers, composers, and live performers wanting to control their DAW without a mouse, the Launchkey 37 combines tactile control with guided musical functions. Its size makes it perfect for mobile setups, learning harmony, drum programming, and instant control of virtual instruments and effects.
Inspiring Controls, Accelerated Workflow
Compose while always staying in key thanks to the Scale Mode, sketch progressions with Chord Map and Fixed Chord, then quickly check your voicings via the "Chord Detector" on the OLED. The editable arpeggiator provides lively patterns, perfect for quickly finding ideas.
The FSR pads offer precise response for finger drumming and dynamic variations, while Quantize, MIDI Capture, Metronome, and transport controls streamline recording. Eight encoders and dedicated navigation buttons ensure smooth control of tracks, mixers, and plugins.
On the connectivity side, USB-C powers and communicates with the computer, the 3.5 mm MIDI output connects your hardware synths, and the sustain pedal input completes a full playing station.
