Novation Launchkey 25 MK4｜25-key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with DAW Control, Chord Performance, and Creative Workflow Integration

A 25-key MIDI keyboard controller built for modern music production

The Novation Launchkey 25 MK4 is a MIDI keyboard controller from Novation, featuring a 25-key full-size keyboard layout, along with DAW control, chord modes, an arpeggiator, and multiple assignable control interfaces, providing a complete creative control hub for arranging, recording, and live performance.

Compared with other 25-key controllers in the same class, its strengths lie in deeper DAW integration and a more intuitive, creation-focused operating logic.

User Recommendation Analysis (Click to expand)

▼

Who Should Buy

Creators using Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or other DAWs who need a 25-key master keyboard that integrates performance and arrangement control
Beginner producers who want to learn chords, scales, and melody writing, and hope to lower the barrier of music theory and playing through assistive modes
Home studio users with limited desk space who need a portable setup and want full creative control in the smallest possible footprint

Who Should NOT Buy

Users who need a large number of physical faders for mix automation control, as the 25-key version is not the model with the most controls in the series
Producers who already own a high-end master keyboard and full control surface may not need to invest again if they only want basic input

Core technologies and features of the Novation Launchkey 25 MK4

25-key full-size keyboard layout: Delivers complete melodic input and basic chord-playing capability in a more compact body, making it especially suitable for desktop studios, mobile creation, and space-limited production environments.
Deep DAW control integration: Lets you directly operate common music production tasks such as transport control, track selection, mix adjustment, punch-in recording, and clip triggering, reducing reliance on the mouse.
16 RGB backlit FSR performance pads: Support velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch, making them ideal for drum finger drumming, sample triggering, loop launching, and real-time arrangement workflow control.
Chord mode creative assistance: Supports Chord Map, User Chord, and Fixed Chord modes, allowing even creators without keyboard training to build harmonic structures more quickly.
30 scale modes: Built-in scale assistance features such as Scale Snap, Scale Filter, and Scale Easy can lock playable notes to a selected key or mode, improving improvisation and composition efficiency.
Built-in generative arpeggiator: Supports step editing to quickly create rhythmic melodies, synth sequences, and repeating patterns, expanding possibilities for electronic and pop arrangement.
Multiple assignable controllers: Continuous encoders, buttons, Pitch/Mod controls, and transport controls can be mapped to different parameters based on your workflow, making them suitable for controlling virtual instruments, effects, and automation.
MIDI workflow hub: Supports USB-C MIDI and 5-pin MIDI output, making it more than just a keyboard input device—it can serve as the control center of an entire music production system.

25-key performance workflow

The 25-key layout emphasizes high mobility and a small footprint, making it ideal for rhythm arrangement, melody sketching, bassline input, and mobile music production.
For creators who need minimal desk space, frequently carry their controller between work locations, or mainly play with one hand, the 25-key version is a lighter and more direct choice.

Deep DAW integration and transport control

Built-in integration with many mainstream DAWs, including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, Reason, and other common production platforms.
The enhanced DAW Transport Mode makes it more intuitive to control playback, stop, record, navigation, and arrangement workflow, improving mouse-free productivity.

16 FSR pads and polyphonic aftertouch expression

The 16 RGB backlit FSR performance pads support both velocity sensitivity and polyphonic aftertouch, enabling more nuanced triggering of drums, samples, clips, and expressive control.
Compared with traditional pads that only support basic velocity input, the FSR structure provides more sensitive pressure response, making it suitable for live performance and creative sound design.

30 scale modes and chord creation tools

Includes 30 built-in scales, covering harmonic and pentatonic scales, Greek modes, and many commonly used scales from around the world, helping performances stay in key at all times.
Chord Map, User Chord, Fixed Chord, and Chord Detector, combined with the OLED display, can accelerate harmony building, transposition, and live performance operation.

Generative arpeggiator and customizable control setup

The built-in generative arpeggiator supports step editing, allowing you to create more complex rhythmic patterns, melodic loops, and synth sequences.
Through Novation Components, you can create up to 4 custom mapping presets for flexible control of virtual instruments, external hardware, and MIDI CC parameters.
