Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 5-stars Reviews

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!

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.

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

cool

lots of functionality with ableton, cubase and other midi usecases. feels lightweight but portable. durable, been using it for years

Best product in 100eu price-range

My girlfriend is happy and she started crying, that's enough for my review :)

Great value for the price, I'm using it with Ableton Live and it works perfectly.

Perfect for Every Job

This is the perfect MIDI controller for a smaller studio setup, and is much more affordable and easily incorporated into a bedroom studio than a full size keyboard.

Good quality and great prise.

I mainly use ableton live and was using mini mk2 before this one. Everything works well as expected and the mk3 looks way better. I especially like the matt surface on black keys because my sweaty tend to slip from smooth small keys on mk2.

The trs MIDI out is also super handy. I often cannect it to my sequenser.

Best Budget MIDI Keyboard

Best Budget MIDI Keyboard to make music anywhere!

It just works so well...

Dealing with MIDI since the late 90s I got used to all the programing and tweaking but guess what - it doesn't have to be like that. This one just works. You plug it in, open the Ableton Live! and everything just works. Made my workflow much smoother.

Works great with ableton

This Novation Launchkey mini is a great midi controller for beginners. The features are great though it requires a bit of practice to fully understand the combination between the shift key and the pads.

It does feel cheap because it's made of plastic but hey. You get what you pay for.

Overall, a great midi controller especially with Ableton Live

One of the best portable midi controller for sure, especially if you are a Ableton user

Excellent for carrying around

I find this product really handy for carrying it in my rucksack with laptop, audio interface and a studio headphones. I may sit anywhere and write down any fresh ideas.

The only thing that I find negative is the board's lightning feature, which I can not turn off.

very good staff

I use Google translate :)

good midi keyboard, better than many that are more expensive. Many useful and important functions, which are easy to understand on your own, or with various training videos on video hosting.

Perfect for portable jams!

I use this as an on-the-go solution for tracking ideas. Novation really delivered with this, it's light, feature-packed, and integrates easily with every DAW I've tested.

I love it!

The absolute best in the 100 bucks pricetag

This keyboard is, in my humble opinion, the best in its price range. I have tried the most famous ones like the Akai, some M-Audio ones and the Nektar Impact lineup, but this is by far the best.

The layout is absolutely gorgeous, which may not be needed to make music, but I personally think it is important that your gear is beautiful, and I find this keyboard quite aesthetically pleasing.

For Ableton users this is a no-brainer, since the amount of features you get to handle the software are absolutely insane. Despite that, Novation have taken other DAW users into consideration and brought up some nice features and add-ons for non Ableton users.

Technically speaking, I am no expert, but I find the keybed much more confortable to play than the other ones and the pots are nice. They wobble a bit but can't ask much.

I find the slider-type modulation and pitch wheels much more comfortable to use than the real thing. Also, they show no bump since they are flat with the surface, so I think it is a great design decision.

The pads are no special good in quality concerns (also not special bad, either, they work absolutely fine), but the device comes with a piece of sofware (Components) that lets you program every single pad and pot in every possible way, which I find absolutely amazing.

Speaking of software, at the beginning, they let you download everything that you get from the device from a nice landing page, so it is very easy to get everything set up.

All in all, I think you don't give up in anything with this device, while still keeping it cheap. Can't imagine how good their higher end devices may be.

great

I lov this handy little controller, its works perfect for me..
