General

Equipped with semi-weighted keys and all essential functions, the Novation Launchkey 88 MK3 USB/MIDI keyboard is an excellent choice for the stage and studio, where it proves to be a real workhorse loaded with encoders, faders and touch-sensitive pads that feature polyphonic aftertouch. The Launchkey 88 MK3 even has a built-in arpeggiator and supports chords as well as different keys - hook it up to an external synth via the DIN-MIDI port and you've got a superb standalone machine.

The Novation Launchkey 88 MK3: Semi-Weighted Keys

While 88-note keyboards are usually outfitted with heavy hammer-action keys to mimic the feel of a real acoustic piano, the Launchkey 88 MK3 has lighter, semi-weighted keys which make it easier to play with sounds other than that of a piano, like an organ, a concert harp, strings or drum kits. Also, a lot of virtual instruments these days feature key switches, so having the extra range of an 88-note keyboard is always a welcome bonus, especially if your virtual instrument doesn't boast such a wide range range.

In de winkel goed geholpen (als je hebt gereserveerd moet je wel je bestelling nummer bij je hebben). Je mag in de winkel even testen als je wilt. Op vragen word netjes beantwoord en als persoon antwoord niet weet, dan word er netjes aan een ander collega gevraagd. Novation is vrijwel plug en play (als je al een midi software hebt). Verder krijg je via usb naar de 'novation usb disk' een read-me file openen en die begeleid je naar een web page met stap-voor-stap instructies om een account aan te maken, om software te downloaden, handleidingen te bekijken. Geluid is afhankelijk van je speaker/monitor set. Verder nog niet novation functions getest, maar tot nu toe een goede aankoop.

Prachtig, stevig, ding. Werkt perfect samen met de software die wordt meegeleverd, en er is geen vervelende vertraging tussen het in klikken van toetsen en het daadwerkelijk horen van het geluid

colis arrivé en point relais assez rapidement en bon état. l'information de paramétrage et déclaration dans studio one mériterait de plus amples développement.
