Product Information
Full details
The Novation Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 in White is a compact and stylish USB MIDI keyboard controller designed for musicians and producers looking for intuitive DAW integration and creative tools. Its primary benefit is seamless control over major Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and a suite of built-in features for idea generation. A potential caveat is its mini-keybed, which may require an adjustment period for those accustomed to full-sized keys. Key features include 37 velocity-sensitive mini-keys, 16 RGB performance pads, eight rotary encoders, a built-in arpeggiator, Chord Modes, and Scale Mode.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does the Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 need external power?
It is primarily USB-powered. For use with iOS devices or to ensure stable power for MIDI Out connections, an external powered USB hub or a dedicated power supply (sold separately) may be required.
Can I use this with my iPad?
Yes, it is compatible with iOS devices. You will typically need a powered USB hub and the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter (or equivalent for USB-C iPads).
What software is included?
The Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 typically includes Ableton Live 12 Lite, a collection of sounds from developers like Spitfire Audio, XLN Audio, Klevgrand, and AAS, plus free lessons from Melodics.
Are the pads velocity-sensitive?
Yes, the 16 RGB performance pads are velocity-sensitive and also feature polyphonic aftertouch for expressive control.
How do I map the encoders to control other software?
You can map the encoders directly within most DAWs by entering the DAW's MIDI learn mode and assigning the encoder to the desired parameter. For deeper customization, Novation's Components software can be used.
Is this controller bus-powered?
Yes, the Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 is bus-powered via USB when connected to a computer. This means it draws power directly from the USB connection and does not require a separate power adapter for computer use.
What's the difference between this and the Launchkey 37 MK4?
The Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 features a smaller form factor with mini-keys and pads, making it highly portable. The full-sized Launchkey 37 MK4 has larger, full-sized keys, more physical controls (like faders), and is generally larger in size.
Troubleshooting
Device not recognized by computer
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different USB port on your computer. Verify that the correct drivers (if any are needed for your OS) are installed. Restart your computer with the Launchkey connected.
Pads or keys are unresponsive
Check the USB connection. Restart the Launchkey by unplugging and replugging the USB cable. Ensure that the device is selected as the MIDI input in your DAW or MIDI software. Test in a different DAW or application.
No sound when playing notes
Verify that the Launchkey is selected as the MIDI input in your DAW. Ensure a virtual instrument or external sound module is loaded and configured to receive MIDI from the Launchkey. Check that your DAW's track is armed and monitoring is enabled.
MIDI Out port not sending data to external gear
Confirm that the MIDI Out port is configured correctly in your DAW or control software. Ensure the cable connecting to your external instrument is functional and correctly wired. Test with a different MIDI cable.
