General

Needless to say, larger keyboards have more room for functions and features than their less extensive counterparts. Novation's new Launchkey 49 MK3 is no exception to this rule, and compared to the 35 and 37-note models, gives you nine additional faders and more than enough options to control your favourite plug-ins. To spark inspiration, the keys have been improved and Novation added a number of creative tools such as an arpeggiator, chord mode and scale mode. In scale mode, the keyboard thankfully helps you to avoid playing notes from the wrong scale.

The Novation LaunchKey 49 MK3: Extensive Software Pack

At this point, coloured pads are inextricably linked to Ableton Live. This MIDI keyboard has sixteen of them and comes with a free copy of Ableton Live Lite, making for the ideal beat-spitting combination of a versatile controller and a brilliant piece of DAW software. What's more, the Launchkey 49 comes with various virtual instruments and effects: Expressive Strings from Spitfire Audio, keyboards from XLN Audio, Klevgrand T0Verb and more. Looks like the time to produce is now!

  • As of the 1st of March, 2022, a two month subscription to Splice is no longer part of the included software package.

Upgraded from my old LX 49, despite being synth weighted keys I think the keybed on this is much better (my previous keybed was supposedly semi-weighted).

The feature set is also great for a relatively cheap keyboard, well worth the money.

De toetsen maken een beetje veel geluid bij het piano spelen maar hij speelt heel fijn wat het belangrijkste is.

De avond voor de levering besteld en de vlgd morgen al in huis. Goed en snel geregeld. De Novation LaunchKey 49 MK3 USB/MIDI keyboard is een prachtige midi interface. Nu druk bezig om alle(en dat zijn er veel) mogelijkheden uit te zoeken. Dus ben voorlopig wel effe bezig

Prima MIDI keyboard met goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding. Ik verwachte een minder goed toetsenbord op basis van internet recensies door hardcore pianisten, maar was positief verrast. Ik heb zelf een Yamaha PSR-SX700 en het toetsenbord voelt kwalitatief hetzelfde aan. Integratie met Ableton is top en plug-and-play, hoefde niks in te stellen in Ableton of Windows.

Zeer fijn keyboard voor de prijs. Algehele kwaliteit voelt prima, lekker stille toetsen (zowel de speeltoetsen als de bedieningstoetsen). De drumpads voelen ook lekker en zijn leuk om mee te spelen. Goede integratie met Ableton Live, maar ook met andere DAWs werkt hij prima.

Voor de echte beginner is er waarschijnlijk wel een leercurve, helemaal in samenwerking met Ableton. Maar met wat geduld en veel tutorials online heb je het zo onder de knie.

Ik was in eerste instantie voor de 49keys model gegaan, als je hem echter ook wil gebruiken om te leren piano spelen (zoals ikzelf) dan biedt de 61keys variant net wat meer. Die ene octaaf extra maakt zeker een verschil. Maar welke je ook kiest, het is sowieso een zeer fijn midi keyboard in zijn prijsklasse.

Keyboard met fantastisch veel functies, maar scherpe leercurve. Setup is niet heel vanzelfsprekend. Voelt heel kwaliteitsvol aan. Koopje!
