Gute Qualität und funktionalität
Funktionert gut mit meinem Korg NTS-1 (und einem Midi-Mapper) und meinem Behringer Proton. Auch die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut.
Einfach klasse für Ableton
Super Midi Keyboard zum schmalen Preis.Hatte vorher eins von Arturia welches von den Materialien edler war, was aber nicht so kompatibel und eingerichtet ist wie das Novation für Ableton.Beim Novation hätte ich mir noch den Scale Modus gewünscht, dann wäre es perfekt.Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
ACHTUNG: Eher nur für Ableton Live 10 user!
Um wirklich den vollen Funktiosumfang dieses Keyboards nutzen zu können sollte man Ableton 10 haben. Sehr unverständlich warum, aber bei Version 9 hat man nur "normalen" controller.Sogar Novation schreibt man solle 10 nutzen, ob es hier Absprachen gab um die 10er zu pushen?Die lite version welche dabei ist, ist zu abgespeckt.FAZITController ist sehr gut verarbeitet für den Preis. Die pads sind sehr sensitiv, fast schon zu sensitiv, es reicht oft nur eine ganz kleine Berührung wie bei touch geräten und man spielt aus versehen einen Ton.Die Tasten könnten jedoch hochwertiger sein, klappern aber nicht und tun was sie sollen.Ein dickes Minus für Novation gibts für die fehlende Dokumentation in form von Videos, tutorials für die MK3 version, man muss hier div reviews...auf youtube schauen.Für beatbastler und homeproduzenten die nur wenig tasten spielen, vollkommen ausreichend und sicher die beste Wahl was preis/leistung angeht.
Einfach zu bedienen, macht Spaß
Ich nutze das Launchkey Mini MK3 als Midi Controller für verschiedene Musik Anwendungen (DAW). Anders als das Launchpad Pro MK3, das ich auch besitze, hat das Launchkey einen mächtigen Arpeggiator. Die Integration in Ableton Live ist hervorragend und ist perfekt für ein kompaktes Set up aus Laptop und Launchkey als Controller. Erst etwas später habe ich bemerkt, dass es von Novation ein Script für die Software Reasonstudios gibt, die ich ebenfalls häufig nutze. Damit sind die Controller Knöpfe des Launchkey vorab auf wichtige Funktionen einiger Synths in Reason gemappt und ersparen einem die manuelle Zuweisung. Sehr komfortabel.Bei dem Preis ist das Launchkey MK3 beinahe alternativlos. Kaufempfehlung meinerseits.
Great Product
Fast and efficient delivery, great product and for the price point a must buy
Plastic toy, not recommended even for beginners.
Inconvenient when switching between functions,useless arpeggio,cheap rough pads, annoying self-triggering.
Spitzen Controller
Die Bedienung ist super, die Klaviatur fühlt sich gut an und die (Drum) Pads sind sehr praktisch.
Top Preis Top Gerät
Alles Top 🔝
Nice Compact Controller at a Great Price
I'm pretty new to using DAW's (I was a Recording Engineer in the 1970's and 80's, we used Tape Machines, LOL). I'm building a new Music Workstation in my home and wanted a small, simple Controller with enough features for Drums as well as ARP and Sequencing to use with a DAW. (I already own a Arturia KeyStep 37 for my Modular Synths).I looked at quite a few YouTube Reviews and this LaunchKey Mini MK3 always stood out. It was designed to really work with Ableton but also integrates fairly well with Logic Pro which is what I thought I would use it with. After having it for a few weeks now I can say that yes it works pretty well with Logic Pro but really integrates even better with Ableton, so much so I have decided to make Ableton my DAW of choice.The learning curve for me was pretty easy being new to all of this and there are lots of good online tutorials. Overall this little beast is packed with a full range of great features. The build quality is ok, not great but not bad, it’s plastic but the Knobs Buttons and Pads have a solid feel. Just treat it well and it will be just fine!The Keyboard is not meant for a “virtuoso” but for me who is a hunt and peck keyboardist (I am a drummer) it works and I like the small size. Hey, you can’t beat the price for this much technical power.Setup was very easy using the Novation WebSite. The only thing I’m still confused about is setting up my own Custom Mode but I’ll figure it out.As for the person that complained about the lack of a MIDI Cable being included and then buying the wrong ones, that is just “USER” error. All he had to do is contact Novation/Focusrite Customer Support like I did, within an hour they got back to me and sent a Link to where to buy the correct cable. That says a lot about Novation Support!Bottom line, if you want a nice, compact Controller that’s full of features at a great price…. THIS IS IT
Super recomendo
Além de ser um produto de MUITA qualidade e ter chegado antes do esperado, ganhei vários "brindes", como uma cópia do Ableton Live Lite e alguns plugins por ter comprado o controlador.
Valida, ancora giovane ma ottima
Un prodotto molto interessante e completo sotto il punto di vista delle funzioni ma anche controverso, e cercherò di spiegarne i perché in modo che altri utenti non si trovino nelle stesse difficoltà che ho incontrato io.Partiamo innanzitutto col dire che la tastiera dovrebbe essere plug'n'play con il programma Ableton: in realtà non è così. Infatti viene sì riconosciuta dal programma ma non vengono attivate tutte le porte midi tanto è vero che la tastierina non funziona e non invia alcuna nota: deve essere impostata 'a mano' dall'utente nelle Preferenze di Live.Poi, all'inizio, ho riscontrato alcuni problemi, il tasto Arp che rimaneva illuminato fisso così come il tasto Fixed Chords che a volte funzionava e a volte no. Ho scaricato il programma Novation Components dal sito del produttore ed ho aggiornato il firmware della tastiera e adesso il tutto sembra funzionare a dovere. C'è da dire, comunque, che, talvolta, il funzionamento della la tastiera è un po' imprevedibile: ad esempio è sufficiente sfiorare i tasti affinché attivino una qualche funzione mentre, talvolta, capita che la tastiera non comunichi correttamente con Ableton e che quindi si renda necessario chiudere il programma e riavviarlo affinché tutto torni a funzionare normalmente.C'è un ulteriore particolare che ha destato la mia curiosità... Gli ultimi tre tasti della tastierina contengono tre simboli che dovrebbero attivare una qualche funzione tramite la pressione del tasto shift...In realtà, non attivano proprio un bel niente così come mi hanno confermato anche dal supporto di Novation.Forse, in futuro, serviranno a qualcosa, magari dopo un nuovo aggiornamento del firmware!Bene, se siete arrivati a leggere fin qui vi sarete chiesti perché non ho effettuato il reso del prodotto.... Sinceramente, se avessi dovuto farmi fare un controller per Live su misura, probabilmente mi sarei fatto fare proprio un prodotto del genere; per quanto riguarda le sue funzioni e per come sono state organizzate, visto anche dimensioni, costruzione e prezzo, per me è semplicemente il controller ideale.Ecco perché nonostante i difetti che ho elencato lo ritengo un prodotto davvero valido da utilizzare con il programma di Ableton. In quanto a funzioni, non gli manca davvero nulla.Probabilmente il prodotto soffre ancora di difetti di "gioventù" dovuti a un firmware non proprio ottimizzato.Spero in futuro Novation provveda in merito, essendo io in possesso di più di un controller, vi posso dire che questo i suoi soldi li vale tutti...Due parole anche sui software dotazione: anche se bisogna districarsi con le solite prassi di registrazione presso vari siti il tutto è reso semplice dal fatto che non appena si collega la tastiera al computer si apre un file che permette un collegamento al sito Novation dove ci si può registrare e da lì scaricare il software. Il pezzo forte è il già citato Components che è sopratutto un vero e proprio editor, poi ci sono vari plugin e, ovviamente, l'immancabile Ableton Live Lite (versione rigorosamente 10, pena il non funzionamento del controller).Consigliatissimo quindi a chi già utilizza Live, conosce il programma e sà come districarsi nell'utilizzo e nel risolvere i problemi che si possono incontrare con questi controller; non lo consiglierei affatto a chi vuole iniziare ad usare un controller midi con il programma di Ableton ma non ha le dovute conoscenze e la necessaria esperienza. Meglio allora altri prodotti come quelli di Akai che fanno poco ma lo fanno bene e da subito...Aggiornamento al 18/12: con l'ultima versione di Live, vengono risolti alcuni bug con questo modello ed aggiunta una nuova utile funzione (vedere sul sito Ableton le info).Aggiungo, pertanto, la quinta stella 👍🏻
Ontzettend veel waar voor je geld
Een van de beste aankopen van dit jaar. Twijfel je nog? Niet doen, meteen bestellen. Het toetsenbord voelt degelijk en is toch handig om snel solo's te spelen. Maar met een programma midi mapper als Divisimate is het mogelijk om een hele band of orkest te bedienen dankzij de snelle transpose mogelijkehden en voor diverse DAW's zijn er scripts beschikbaar. Zelf gebruik ik Bitwig en dat werkt goed. De pads zijn ook gevoelig en zeer degelijk. Hiervoor heb ik Roland en Arturia gehad en ik geef toch de voorkeur aan deze. Handig dat pads en keyboard apart worden herkent en zo los van elkaar te mappen zijn in je studio. Als bij elkaar echt een aanrader. Qua software heb ik de piano geprobeerd, maar deze kon mij niet echt overtuigen, maar als je net begint heb je toch een redelijk arsenaal aan mogelijkheden.
Väldigt bra
Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 är en kompakt och prisvärd MIDI-kontroller som har fått en imponerande uppdatering. Dess lilla storlek gör den perfekt för musiker på språng, och den robusta konstruktionen innebär att den tål resandets påfrestningar. Med en uppsättning av de mest responsiva tangenter jag har provat på en kontroller av denna storlek, är det en fröjd att spela på den.De 16 hastighetskänsliga trumdynorna är perfekt placerade för att knacka ut trumrytmer, och de åtta roterande reglagen känns allt annat än trånga, trots enhetens kompakta design. Med tanke på Ableton Live-användare, erbjuder Launchkey Mini plug-and-play-kontroll över ett brett urval av DAW:ens funktioner, vilket gör det till ett utmärkt val för både nybörjare och erfarna producenter.De inbyggda arpeggiator- och ackordlägena är särskilt imponerande och ger en kreativ boost när du komponerar eller uppträder live. Sammantaget är Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 en fantastisk liten kontroller som levererar stort på funktionalitet och spelbarhet.
