• Get in the Zone

  Want to control more than one instrument at a time? With Launchkey 49, you can easily split the keyboard into two distinct zones.
  
  Play different sounds with each hand or layer two MIDI channels across all 49 keys to send the same notes to both zones. This powerful feature lets you maximise your creative possibilities and control multiple instruments seamlessly.

• Move with the melody

  Groove with the tempo of your project using the latest version of our generative arpeggiator.  
  
  Effortlessly create and mutate musical sequences with our new eight-step editor, expressing your vibe through tie, accent, and ratchet controls.
