Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 — DAW Controller with Deep Software Integration
The Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 is a 49-key USB MIDI controller built for hands-on DAW production. Four octaves of semi-weighted, waterfall-style keys pair with custom DAW scripts for Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason, Bitwig, and Ardour, so transport, mixer, and plugin controls activate instantly over USB-C.
Built-In Creative Engine
A generative arpeggiator with an 8-step editor, Mutate, and Deviate functions builds evolving patterns without opening a sequencer. Scale Mode locks the keybed to one of 30 scales, while Chord Map and Fixed Chord modes let a single key trigger full progressions, with the chord name shown on the OLED display.
Keybed and Playing Surface
The semi-weighted keybed spans four octaves with pitch bend and modulation wheels mounted above the keys for a compact footprint.
- Keys: 49 semi-weighted, waterfall-style — piano-style feel, smooth front edge
- Pitch Bend: Yes — wheel above the keybed
- Zones: Split and Layer — two sounds across the keyboard
Control Surface and Pads
Sixteen velocity-sensitive RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch handle finger-drumming and clip launching, while eight endless rotary encoders and nine faders map to plugin parameters and mixer channels.
- Pads: 16 RGB backlit, velocity-sensitive with polyphonic aftertouch
- Encoders: 8 endless rotary — continuous, no end stops
- Faders: 9 with buttons — eight channels plus master volume

Number of Keys: 49
This instrument has 49 keys, equivalent to 4 octaves, providing a wide range of tones for a variety of musical applications.
Keyboard Type: Semi-weighted Waterfall
This type of keyboard combines semi-weighted key resistance with a specific design featuring smooth, curved edges of the keys, allowing for quick and fluid finger movement. It is ideal for players who require lighter resistance while playing but still desire the feel of natural key press.
Pitch Bend: Yes
The Pitch Bend allows smooth pitch changes, adding expressiveness to musical expression. Often used to create effects such as glissando or vibrato, this feature allows the player to make subtle or dramatic changes to the sound in real time. Pitch bend allows musicians to create smooth transitions between notes, increasing the dynamics and expressiveness of their performances.
