Novation Launchkey 49 MK2 Review & Recording

Best for producers on Ableton Live: www.audiomentor.com/novation-...
However, also equally as good when used with other DAWs, like Logic Pro, Cubase, Pro Tools & more.
Amazing key touch and very quick integration with your favourite DAW. This could be one of my favorite MIDI controllers to date.

He's accent is actually Really pleasurable. I feel like I can understand Malaysian. Thanks for this video brother

[@reubenchng]

:)

[@ldandco]

Well, I may be wrong, but I think he is from Singapore (just next to Malaysia :> ), would I be right on to assuming so ? I'm Australian and have some Singaporean friends that have the same accent

[@matyasstahl9409]

Cool. Finally, someone that attempts (and succeeds) at making music instead of noise, when explaining the basics. Thanks.

[@twolftwolf7245]

Cannot agree more on this comment.

[@mancavemusicproductions2572]

This was so informative. Really cleared a lot of things I had in my mind. Great work!

[@franktothemax]

Awesome review man. Simple, straight to the point. I love it and I can't wait for mine to come in the mail.

[@yankeedoodlez]

Came across this video while checking for looper, good review and thank you for sharing....I like the short music which makes easier to understand the device. Would love to see more of those music, very soothing. Thanks again Cheers!

[@marcustvchannel5885]

Dude! Music, Amazing really awesome, the melodys were all there keep striving beautiful

[@MSavageEsq]

Such a helpful video. I realise this is an older product, but I wanted to congratulate you on your video.

[@indrajem7vwh]

Your review is always awesome. You go direct to what people need to see when deciding prior to a purchase. I’m in search of a new MIDI controller to replace my sickening M Audio Oxygen 49 Blue which keep doing phantom pitch bends, out of tune nonsense. Thanks for this review help me a lot in narrowing my choice.

[@Madmath198]

Really helped.... Watched a review saying u can't use the drum pads on Logic Pro x . But now I know that I can. Great review

[@williameadie8550]

A very informative review (he sold me!) by a wonderful person. Someone who'd make a good friend.

[@TakeitEzae]

Your voice is so easy to listen to! And then I read the comments saying the same thing and I'm like "Good, so I'm not alone" 😭 Great video!

[@soundbringerstudios2885]

Thanks for the awesome review and demo!

[@reubenchng]

Soundbringerstudios glad you found it useful!

[@LatestKaraokeMusic]

I just love your lessons..and i also bought novation launchkey 49 ...i just loved it..❤️❤️ its awesome keyboard

[@S2Sturges]

Very nice review! Concise and well presented, thank you! Timely as my old M-Audio Oxygen 49 decided to get very temperamental and lose some keys... Looked at several options, but the Novation seems to be continually at the top of my list.... Best, Steve

[@MikeFromDownUnder]

[@benjaminjakobneyer2493]

[@dencelkbabu]

Good Review son ! It really helped.

[@reubenchng]

Thanks dad.

[@dencelkbabu]

hahaa u nailed it !!

[@parthyadav2926]

I also buy novation launchkey 49 after see your video.

[@gregt4202]

I bought a 49 key this weekend. I agree with you on your "desktop" comment. Probably the only downsides are that Ableton downloads were pretty slow (that could be due to holiday traffic volume) and the keys are spring loaded and unweighted. But, for the price, I didn't expect weighted keys.

[@jayantakumarbose4264]

you are really a nice player and person too

[@miguelangellopezmorales844]

Excelente!

[@leekyungri]

I'm buying haha thanks :D

[@crazygodunguhz8327]

sooo kind vedio :)

[@NemyaKK]

This dude is so informative, can actually play and is handsome, subbed. btw what vst you used for strings?

[@schondos8073]

Awesome vid. Great accent. Intelligible conclusions.

[@maxwellvangulinja]

nice man

[@callanandrews-arabi4221]

I have a 61 key and love Everything about it

[@reidandersen3558]

Thevampireminer odd flex but ok😂

[@marianoservat1]

how's key sensitivity?

[@LIMINALGINGER]

It sounds like the finding Nemo music (also great vid! 👍)

[@magdalenocano9641]

My guy💯💯💯👏🏻😳

[@gotreality]

Very nice summary. I was hoping to learn how to CHANGE THE PITCH BEND from a whole step to an octave...Is that possible?

[@dakomvos]

I recently bought one, nice review. (I wonder what a complicated looking box would look like)

[@pavithran4511]

Bro...how can play Indian tones....Can I play this in Church

[@mathewjob8335]

Thanks for the video bro, it really helped me a lot & does this keyboard has after touch option ? or else which midi controller I have to buy ?

[@shahnewazmanto4798]

Goodm thanks

[@giuliarome3048]

thanks

[@abhishekreddy9065]

sounds gr8:

[@garryoak]

I just want a plain keyboard. Thanks for the info.

[@ru9204]

Great Video! I'm just starting out with Midi and Daw and was wondering if this keyboard is sufficient enough for my needs as a new user? I've noticed that Novation have brought out the SL Mk3 which is tempting, but what will I really gain from spending an extra 300 pounds on the Mk3? Thanks. 👍

[@ArtificialJetleg]

hey nice video. really simple explanation which is what I needed. However, I notice that there are several midi controllers. Do you know the difference between this version and the novation impulse 49? I'm just like your video, play some synths, some bass lines, drums and my guitar to create a mix of indie pop/rock/electronic music (e.g. mix of the national and porter robinson to give you an example).

[@tomasllorca99]

Hi bro, great review and video, can i ask which studio monitors do you have?

[@siriusstar2125]

Hello thank you for your videos they are always very useful. I have a question for you and it would be super cool if you could answer me. I am an amateur in the field of electronic music, I just bought a launchkey 49 novation. I plugged it into my laptop dell e6410 with fl studio 20 demo for the moment. it lights up and the studio recognizes it in midi seting and it comes out well the sounds that I put in the pattern. my only problem is that I am forced to press very very hard on the keys of the keyboard so that the sound is loud enough to be heard, the less you hit the more the sound is weak and the more you hit the sound is strong and it's very annoying because it prevents me from playing because you have to really hard to type a sound "normal" (I have good speakers). my question; HOW TO MAKE THE SOUND ALWAYS THE SAME LEVEL TO NOT HAVE TO TAPER VERY STRONG ON THE KEYBOARD? OR MUST I SET THIS PARAMETER? I thank you in advance for your answer Tom

[@alvarovivanco9929]

Great video, I just bought it and it’s working great with Ableton, although when I use it with Logic I’m having a little latency, do you know how to correct it?

[@wjy9969]

Nice video. I am now shopping for a 49/61 keys midi-controller. How does this compare with the M-Audio Oxygen 49 in terms of the key touch. Thank you.

[@Etherverse]

Thank you for this. Were you using a VST piano plugin or was that a standard piano sound from your DAW?
