Novation Launchkey 25 MK4 MIDI Keyboard
The Novation Launchkey 25 MK4 is a compact creative MIDI controller from the re-engineered MK4 generation, pairing full-size keys with deep DAW control and powerful built-in composition tools.
25 full-size synth-action keys with pitch and modulation wheels give it a proper instrument feel, alongside a crisp OLED display, 8 endless encoders and 16 velocity-sensitive FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch for expressive finger drumming and clip launching. Scale mode locks the keys to any of 30 scales, three chord modes (Chord Map, User Chord, Fixed Chord) plus a Chord Detector make progressions effortless, and the generative arpeggiator adds Mutate and Deviate controls with an 8-step editor featuring tie, accent and ratchet. An Ableton step sequencer creates MIDI clips right from the hardware.
Custom integrations cover Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio, Reason, Bitwig and Ardour, with NKS compatibility for Native Instruments software and a MIDI output for hardware. The bundle includes Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE, Novation Play, Komplete 15 Select, Klevgrand and Orchestral Tools instruments and Melodics lessons. DjLab supplies genuine Novation in Lebanon with USD pricing, warranty handled locally, and fast delivery.

“It’s your call. MusicRadar verdict: The updated Launchkeys are just as good as controllers as they are keyboards. Use them with your favourite software or hardware, and these versatile devices will take care of pretty much everything for you.”Read full review →
“Novation Launchkey 25 MK4 25-key Review: A portable, feature-packed MIDI controller perfect for Ableton users, offering seamless integration and creative tools at a great price.”Read full review →
“Otherwise, the guts and the intelligence inside the controllers are the same throughout the range, as is the single MIDI output on the back and the smart, plastic but solid feel. The only missing feature is any form of aftertouch on the keyboards; however, you will find polyphonic aftertouch on the velocity‑sensitive and brightly lit pads. The full range. To give you an idea of the relative sizes, the Launchkey Mini 25 measures 338.5 x 176.8 x 49mm, while the Launchkey 61’s dimensions are 895 x 263.5 x93mm. With the MK3 Launchkeys, Novation introduced Mutate and Deviate functions, which did interesting things to the melody and timing of the arpeggiator.”Read full review →
