Novation Launchkey 49 MK3
The Novation Launchkey 49 MK3 is a full-featured MIDI controller that adds a fader section to Novation's intuitive Launchkey formula, making it a complete command centre for producing and mixing in your DAW.
49 velocity-sensitive full-size keys sit alongside 16 RGB backlit velocity-sensitive pads, 8 rotary knobs and, unique to the larger models, 9 faders with fader buttons for hands-on mixing and track control. Scale mode, three Chord modes and the creative arpeggiator with Mutate and Deviate keep ideas flowing, while deep Ableton Live integration covers Session View, devices and mixer, with strong support for other major DAWs.
It connects over USB (bus-powered) with a MIDI output and sustain pedal input, and ships with a software bundle including Ableton Live Lite. DjLab supplies genuine Novation in Lebanon with USD pricing, warranty handled locally, and fast delivery.

“So while it's a superb choice for Ableton Live users, the Launchkey has more than enough to keep things interesting for users of anything. Novation look after the configuration of their hardware devices using a browser-based piece of software called Components, in which you can set up the MIDI functionality of every knob, button, fader and pad.”Read full review →

“I got the KeyLab 49 Mk3 via Facebook marketplace for $260 in immaculate condition. This is better than the essential version which doesn't have aftertouch. The keybed and control feels are fantastic.”Read full review →
