Really informative, realistic use case demonstration! Thank you very much guys. Seems novation has put any requirements a live music producer ever wanted in one small device! That is genious.

[@ziemniakelo]

This guy has so good deep voice that it sounds like vox vocoder for this techhouse haha

[@humillados298]

jajajaja :v xd

[@plantificationpodcast]

I see the Sherman behind you guys. Great video.

[@coolomya2253]

Loved the explanation

[@AndreaGrandi]

I really would like to see you two playing with and reviewing the usage of a LaunchKey Mini MKIII with a few analogic synthesizers 🙏 p.s: this video is what made me decide to order a Novation Launchkey Mini MKIII. I can't wait to receive it!

[@studio808]

Great video. I want one now. Take my money!

[@henne93]

My Launchkey Mini MK3 meets the Maschine MK3 via MIDI Out and it's working perfect! Mega! I love my little homestudio!

[@suga4all]

This thing is so nice. Would have been an instant buy, BUT PLEASE NOVATION put a sequencer in it. It's all there: Pads, Knobs, Keys,... Please consider it, and you will have at least one more happy customer and a Keystep challenger!

[@user-ss4he1hf7b]

Do we get any sound packs in the box? If yes, how many?

[@EspiriG]

Excelent, but one question why when i push SHIFT the session pad does not turn on?

[@juanfra3722]

When I go up 2 octaves, and I press the last key C, it doesn't play the note, it start recording, how can I change that?

[@michaelprzywara2369]

Will this control or midi control the circuit ? Thanks M.J.

[@panteleimonorfanos]

Habs bestellt morgen ist es da.Hab genug zu tun wenn es da ist :D

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Great! Hope you enjoy//Jason

[@arpan-jaziel-ghosh]

When the Launchkey 61 mk3 will release? I'm eagerly waiting for that.

[@francescocorasaniti6077]

could you connect it for ex. with the ampli (directly) with the midi out, correct? i means, no other Connection with other device: Just connect it tò my ampli fender Champions 100

[@laurenz_fks2421]

can you connect it to a loop station (rc-505) ???

[@JayPatel-xt6xt]

WHICH POSSIBILITIES CONNECT A NOVATION LAUNCHKEY MINI MK3 WITH ALL FUNCTIONS OR FEATURES RUN IN FL STUDIO?

[@sunrise1295]

Already u arranged Ur track for looping ..how did u do that..

[@PavanMS87]

Hey guys, would u buy Arturia minilab mk3 or Launchkey mini mk3? Exclusive Ableton user,

[@matthewwilliamson4051]

Thank you very much.

OMG! I have exactly the same bracelet 😀

[@vrahilofficial]

I just bought it and got no idea how to play.. guess this help

[@pesto12601]

7:30 - what's with the strange heal tool artifact? You trying to heal something off the table or your hand and failed?

[@JG-nx3jg]

???

[@Niteshift56411]

Pressing our pad here... Already sampled Already sold Already famous Already gold

[@flyingmusicnature]

Nice! After this video I think it has to be the best midi-controller :D But probably it is because of the ability from this producer. LOL

[@seanwarren5613]

Are MIDI Controllers only for creating Electronic music? Any use for somebody wishing to create other genres? Classical? Rock/Pop?

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

A midi controller is a tool and as such it's not limited to genre.. If you use Ableton there are tons of things you can do as a songwriter too //Jason

[@slendah]

I plan on using mine for looping many genres including hiphop, funk, and reggae. The tool depends on who's using it!

[@sunrise1295]

Ableton live is charged software?

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Yes it is with a variety of versions including an inexpensive "Intro"!.. all pricing on our website.. //Jason

[@Lunger03]

what is the name of the software you are using?

[@gama1639]

Ableton Live 11

[@SorilMusic]

No stop button to stop all both clips in one time, i don't understand that...You cut the video before stoping clips...and after you push on a blanck pad with no clips and solo it, but it's not a end, just a trick... So it's hard to finish a session clearly.

[@thesighcompany]

How well does it play with protools?

[@myke.p]

It will run best with ableton. You will get only little functionality with pro tools. I am using it with FL Studio and it doesn't even stop the playback with stop button.

[@brosa1212]

@@myke.p how well does it work in fl? I'm a FL user and debating this one or just a akai

[@user-ss4he1hf7b]

Is it better than minilab mk2?

[@valdiskrebs566]

Nice! Instead of Mac/PC and Ableton, how about iPad and AUM???

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Definitely a thing.. recently bought AUM ... very powerful indeed.. should be a winner with launchkey mini mk3! //Jason

[@samprock]

Does MK3 comes with a pack of what the good dude on the right smoked here?!? :P Hyper! keep coming back to the vid to charge with positive vibe :) Fantastic! TNX

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

Hahahahaha I just fell off my chair! Glad you enjoy the vibe.. there's plenty more of me on this channel too! Thank you and keep the faith //Jason

alguien mas viente por que esta que lo compra pero tiene dudas? yo estoy indeciso si comprar este o el arturia midi mk2 o el akai MPC mini mk3 :C

Mira amigo...No compras el Arturia pero esto Novation MK3.....muchissimo mejor y mas atualizado...

[@humillados298]

@@tonny5835 gracias amigo por el dato.. si aun no lo he comprado.. pero es cierto lo que dices

[@jordanWAH]

WOAH, WOAH, WOAH!! I saw your PO-TONIC with its plastic film STILL on its screen! Pretty SUS if you ask me. I doubt Teenage Engineering sent that for free, just to decorate the set or what? shaaaame!! I'll be more than happy to help YOU and take it off your hands! lol. Thanks for the Launchkey Viddy for me glazzies, me brother!

[@alexlee6247]

does this work with pro tools??????

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

It's designed for Ableton.. but it will work with any DAW as a midi controller //Jason

[@ZukunftBilden]

novation launchkey mini mk3 vs akai mpk mini mk2 - which one is better if you work with ableton live10? And why?

[@samsamab33]

I am looking for the exact same answer lol

[@samsamab33]

*i am wondering the exact same thing

[@myke.p]

@@samsamab33 LK MK3 is a lot better if you want to use ableton live. Because it can access the daw pretty well with the buttons it has. Akai is not made especially for Ableton, while Launchkey is.

[@pesto12601]

Why wear your watch upside down? Did I miss a new fashion statement like this or are watches no longer to tell time?

[@ThomannSynthesizers]

I wish I knew.. those ahands belong to Dankmar //Jason

[@kalanihettige5344]

I wear my watch the other way too lol idk why it feels easier for me to look at time that way

[@fishbonegaga]

This shit isn't working with ableton 9 .Novation even don't mention it or try to solve the problem... shame.

[@samprock]

Hell with people who start :) why manufacturers think that there is "mythical" newbie looking for 25 half baked. Same dude will by $1000 Ableton software to play toy size keyboard? No small mobile keyboard is a must for Pro users, who need it featyres packed and still fit to backpack. With 32/37 keys, pads, arp, sequencer, transport controls, undo button and spare button to assign to special whatever musician need. Believe me, newbie or pro would rather buy 1 real cool/capable device than keep collecting same undersigned 25 key plastic toys :) MK3 looks cool, waiting for Pro version if it! Cheers!

[@damelos4039]

People need MOBILE equipment too. 25 keys are needed in the marketplace.

[@samprock]

Agree, just never can fit to 25 keys :) 32/37 would be better standard de-facto. Still can be small enough if space is used. MK3 is heavily packed, Novation doing good job here. Few more keys and assignable buttons with novelties it has would make it really stand out.

[@Drdoombrain]

What on Earth are you talking about.

[@samprock]

@@Drdoombrain Market is flooded with 25 keys devices of all sizes, as marketing thinks "it for newbies, who starts in music". Same time, small factor keys with encoders, arp, seq, chords, pads in one package AND 32/37 key simply no one is willing to make ..... so i am enjoying my Launchkey MK3 .... as well as Keystep, Minilab, Xkey Air, Akai LPD8, Beatstep Pro .... .... while just exchaneg it all onto a SINGLE controller doing it all properly in one package, even if it costs $1000
