Novation Launchkey 49 (White) 49-Key Semi-Weighted MIDI Controller with DAW Integration

Launchkey 49 White is a premium 49-key MIDI controller designed for hands-on music production with a bold new look. Its semi-weighted, waterfall-style keybed delivers expressive playability, while its 16 polyphonic-aftertouch drum pads and dedicated control surface give you total command of your DAW and hardware instruments.

With nine faders, eight rotary encoders, full transport control, and an OLED screen, the Launchkey 49 White puts mixing, automation, and live performance at your fingertips. Creative features like Scale Mode, Fixed and User Chord Modes, Arpeggiator, and Chord Maps are all built into the hardware, letting you build progressions, lock into a key, and experiment freely—without diving into software menus.

Split and Layer functionality allows for dual-zone or multi-instrument setups. And thanks to USB-C, a full-size MIDI out, and bundled software including Ableton Live 12 Lite and Cubase LE 14, this controller is ready for any studio or stage.
