Novation Launchkey Mini MK2 25-Key Controller

This little midi controller works perfectly. It works with M1 chip computers and Big Sur. It is small enough to be portable. It is great for the price. Doesn't feel cheap but it is quite cheap. DV247 are in my experience a good company.

From the moment I plugged this keyboard in, I was amazed at how many features were at my finger tips. I began by operating Ableton Live and using a combination of both the midi keyboard and the switches for music composition. Instantly, I was inspired.

As I have limited space and am using all digital instruments, I was looking for something that I could easily get to grips with and that wouldnt take up a lot of space. My working environment is snug!

The Launchkey Mini was one of the choices among controllers that have a small enough foot print for using at my desk and, although it lacks modulation and pitch bending wheels, it provides plenty of control options for my DAW plugins and my standalones (such as Reaktor).

After having a remote so for many years it was no longer supported and would not work properly with logic x without manually mapping the controllers. While the keyboard on this isn’t as good it is afar better in i there areas. Being a HUI device it mapped out of the box.

Needed a small portable midi controller for my mini Mac, this answers all my needs perfectly with the added bonus that the bundled software is extremely practical, you can be up and running making music straight away with a daw and keyboard. Easily set up - another huge plus for me!

All you need for producing on the go...so easy with Ableton 10. Love it!

Its small and efficient and a great tool for my studio. I wanted something cost efficient that I could play my virtual synths with. Everything works great. Only complaint is I would have loved a pitch wheel and whatnot.

The Novation Launchkey Mini does everything it is said to do. It's nice to be able to play music through your computer with software. All you need is a USB plug for the controller keyboard to get it working. You can plug it right in to your computer.
