Novation Launchkey Mini MK3

Value for money

Best for those who travels it fits everywhere .

Thanks!

Super comfortable mini keyboard. Really thin and comfortable. The perfect size to carry around and be comfortable to play with. I recommend it!

Very VFM proposal

It is so portable! Compared with the competition has many features. Not the best quality you can find though works perfect with ableton.

Good for its size

I like this a lot and is a good midi controller. Obviously due to its size it can be limiting as to the types of music can be produced but I can’t fault it because it has served me well thus far.

All in all, a great piece of kit that does what it’s supposed to do and has good compatibility with Ableton Live which is one of my DAWs of choice.

Good entry MIDI instrument

If you are looking for a place to start with MIDI instrument this is a great piece of tech, I use it with Abelton Live and are very pleased with it. Just have to practice, the control features for DAW.

Overall good keyboard

Very nice functions with ableton. Too small piano keys, like a toy. Sensitivity curve can’t be tuned on pads.

Need more time to dive in

It's a good product, even the keys not as good as roland A-Pro Series which has the best build quality so far as I know for controller.

Connectivity are good, I use cubase and it's integrated well except the groove agent pad color didn't sync with the physical pad on launchkey or maybe I still didnt get how it works.

I found that when I try to connect to the component mode, the device dont state as connected even I installed all the latest firmware and connect thru USB. I supposed to be able to edit and customize the buttons, but it didnt connect. So it hasn't yet fully functioned for me.

All editor are in browser mode (not in apps). Shouldn't be a problem. But the build quality is very good, much better than nektar impact 49 or m-audio keystation form that side. With a bit of tweek, it might be my go to device.

It's very handy

It is what you'd expect. A cheap yet fairly sturdy bit of kit as the other reviews state.

It comes with Ableton lite now I think which was free when I bought this but now you need to buy this to get lite (if you follow me) .

Just used at home with a focusrite soundcard with two ports.

This controls the studio software to lay down ideas.

You can also have a bit of fun.

And if this is gonna be a bedroom / backroom bit of kit, the lights are nice, lol.

It's fine.

Exactly as described

Enjoy this , exactly as described. I regret not getting a bigger one in ways but then again this is nice and compact & interacts nicely with Ableton

Great features, poor keybed

The keybed feels very mushy to play. The keys don’t have a nice responsive touch to them like for example the mini keys on the Yamaha Reface keyboards
