Novation Launchkey 37 MK3 - A Hip hop Producer Review

A video review about Novation's newest MIDI controllers the Launchkey MK3. I bought the 37 key version of this keyboard. Why you might ask? Well, it's very simple. This MIDI controller has a built-in chord, melody, scale, and arpeggio generators! Which means it's very user friendly and can do generative music production (which I believe is the next wave of music). Great for beginners if you don't know music theory and experienced musicians if you feel uninspired. Features like "deviate" and "mutate" will amaze you (especially if you combine them with scale mode!). This keyboard will get you up and running in you favorite DAW or you can use MIDI out with your hardware! The Launchkey MK3's are great for Ableton Live users (considering if you updated to 10.1.15 or better). Pads feel decent at best (in comparison to AKAI's offerings) and the fixed encoders are a bit disappointing (please use endless encoders guys!). At least the keys feel AMAZING and the build quality is above average for a plastic lightweight body. The biggest plus is the lengths equal to most full size 25 key (except this is a 37 key)! Overall not bad especially for the price. I would buy again and honestly want the 25 key for my MPC Live II for traveling. Stamp of approval received from me but what do you guys think?
