Is The Novation Launchkey MK4 WORTH IT???

[@lmaestro]

Always great to see a pianist demo the gear

[@BizzyAmor]

My guy, you are talented. Tons of respect. I hope that your career flourishes. Be well.

[@SilentDProductions]

The vibes never stop vibing, which is why I always love this channel! Also, this is not a bad price for such a unit when one knows the ins and outs of all the functions. Thank you for another musicational breakdown, King Yaahn! 🎶🎵👑✊🏿🙌🏿

[@Yhuntermusic]

Definitely appreciate you!

[@SilentDProductions]

@@Yhuntermusic Anytime !

[@bharumusic]

This got to be one of the best demos on a MIDI controller I’ve seen & heard! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@deemomusic1982]

I was just here because I knew the music was going to be dope. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 as always. That’s the post bro 😎.

[@magnusmoore]

Bro same

[@Yhuntermusic]

Really appreciate it fr fr!!

[@genaugenaugenau]

Great and well-balanced review. This was the perfect level of detail and focus for me, especially the little (but important) things like the play controls. And awesome demo too!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Glad you enjoyed it! Blessings!

[@Marauak]

Best review of Novation MK4 I've seen so far. Thanks Hunter!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Thanks for tuning in! 🔥🔥

[@no_notes1229]

WOW! Love your vibe, feel, knowledge and honesty. SUBSCRIBED!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Yo thanks a lot and WELCOME!!!

[@DatDudeDullah]

Love the video and the vibes you make! Just unboxed mine a few days ago. I have an Arturia Keylab 88 MK2 and it was hard for me to really figure out all of the functionality. Took me out of the creative flow A LOT and the keys on that board a on the heavy side. The LK 49 MK4 is much simpler and allowed me to create and stay in flow much more effectively. I love that the pads are automatically aligned to the drum map in Ableton, although I wish the mapping was more linear versus how they have it laid out. Only thing it’s missing for me so far is a tap temple button.

[@simonsmith2642]

Dude, you were actually 100% honest and I really appreciate that, that is why I am subscribing, and that is what will keep us watching, and the great content as well. I have NI Kontral and Maschine, my wife being a beginner, is overwhelmed by it, and so am I sometimes. I already have Launchpad Pro, she already is familiar with, so for the intuitive workflow, I think this is it. But I dont think we need the features in the MK4, a used one on Reverb should get the job done. Thank you!

[@Yhuntermusic]

I appreciate that! Welcome to the channel!!

[@darrenhutchinson8348]

Thank You for this great video on this midi controller!🎼🎹🎶🎵

[@akina7491]

Wow this is great all the new additions Thank you Yaahn jr I have an old Launch key but this new one is brilliant.I love the new features I must add your musique is just equisite its lovely. Thank you for the review.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

[@JoeDavisMusic]

I can almost see just by looking at the board itself that the keybed feels incredible. All this is telling me that I need to hurry up and get ableton for myself lol. Because the integration is elite (plus with what I do, ableton would actually just be better lol) Also I see you with the Moog in the back 👀Great vid bro!

[@Yhuntermusic]

My bro!!! Ableton will change your life fr fr! Thank you fam!!

[@g58167]

Got mine and love it. 🔥🔥🔥 I just wish all of the transport controls were midi programable.

[@DeyquanBowens]

I’m definitely looking to get this bro! Thanks for the video! ✊🏾

[@Yhuntermusic]

All good my guy!

[@sara-tr3oi]

learned so much thank you. a whole vibe

[@Yhuntermusic]

My pleasure and thanks for tuning in!

[@What-the-meow-meow]

Funny you should mention the M-Audio keystation. I'm upgrading from that one since my high B note was sticking up broken (way higher physically than the other keys).

[@micturner_9167]

Haaard. Inspiration 4sure

[@marcelomartinsrocha916]

Very cool! Thanks.

[@Yhuntermusic]

No problem!

[@mehradraissi]

thank you for the video, great content if you had to choose between novation mk4 61 and NI S61 mk3 which one would you pick? and does the s61 worth the diffrence ? thanks

[@Yhuntermusic]

I'm a bit biased since I use Ableton so I'll go with the MK4. Ableton

[@mehradraissi]

@@Yhuntermusic thank you man, and between mk4 and oxygen pro ? still mk4 ?

[@revolution909]

Nice review! What's in your opinion the best midi controller (49/61) keybed wise? Of course knowing it's not going to feel like a real piano, just for the sake of having something good in a secondary keyboard for DAW usage. Thanks!

[@flowgoi1741]

This one vs the keylab essential for keys only? Also what's the best keys on the budget market in your opinion?

[@paulonogueira7937]

@@flowgoi1741 I also had that question! Can't really find the LK49 mk4 in Brazil rn, so I'm between getting the essential rn or wait a few months for the LK (if it ever gets here)

[@Bashanvibe]

My question is will they have an 88 key?🤔 dope vibe as always 👊🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@moresauce3000]

hey @Yaahn Hunter Jr. do you think i will be fine with 37 key mk4 strictly for beatmaking? i want to learn piano a bit tho, just dont have space on my desk for 49 keys unfortunately :( do you think i will be able to learn to play some of them chill vibe chords on launchkey 37 mk4? :) thanks!

[@Yhuntermusic]

The 37 is solid in my opinion! I still use my 37 a lot!

[@marketingninja2641]

I'm looking to invest in a new MIDI keyboard with 61 keys and have narrowed it down to three options: the Novation Launchkey MK4, the Nektar LX61+, and the Arturia KeyLab Essential. Could you share your experiences with these models? Which one do you think would be the best choice? Additionally, do you have any other keyboard recommendations I should consider? Thanks!

[@JeffyG]

I was hoping for MPE and Midi 2.0 features, like the Korg KeyStage, or the big display and polyphonic aftertouch of the NI Kontrol S series…..but alas…..nope. Of course it has a lower price.

[@billiedoesbeats]

I really enjoy my OG 37 but now the mini is out and that’s what I really wanted. You got your hands on one? I’d love to see a comparison

[@Yhuntermusic]

The 37 is still the GOAT tbh... I don't have the mini but my bro Taetro did a dope vid on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3qtgWSAgpueaMksi=eRWGfYc42hhbNMSe

[@kmproduction7567]

where you got your dilla bass so dope?!!

[@Yhuntermusic]

Thanks a lot! That's in my Chill-Hop Kits here: yhuntermusic.com/products/chill-hop-kits

[@tuneunleashed]

Basically it’s an M-Audio Oxygen Pro

[@moguld4419]

Hi!I make Hip Hop music,i have an old Akai mpk49 that i so much hate because of the hard key feeling.I'm thinking to buy this Mk4 ,or Mk3,or M audio Oxygen Pro 49,or maybe an NI Komplete Kontrol S49 Mk1.I use Pro Tools and Logic.I tried MK3,and Oxygen pro(what is very same look a like this Mk4),and i liked MK3 keys better.What do you think,MK4 and Oxygen pro has the same keys? What is your opinion?Or do you recommend any other "real piano key" feeling midi keyboard in this price range?

[@RichardRhinehart-he8oq]

As a controller for the Novation Peak?

[@donalduzoka5792]

I Like the mk3 a lil better but that new screen is live

[@Kevinschart]

Not enough here to warrant an upgrade . Let us know when they build an actual sequencer.

[@RyNeaSoulMusic]

Split mode?

[@BenIsJammin634]

Think he had 2 instruments on both halves of the board. He layed in the bass along with the cords.

[@BenIsJammin634]

Bass and chords at the same time*

[@RyNeaSoulMusic]

@BenIsJammin634 right. I didn't see how he got to the split mode in the DAW using the LaunchKey. I can do split mode in FL Studio, but this seems like one two and done. I love split mode on analog gear and I'm curious about it using the controller.

[@Yhuntermusic]

Yes, I was able to split a bass patch and a keyboard patch in Ableton. The MK4 will allow you to set the keyboard split range and use 2 different ports for MIDI

[@sergejfilippov1968]

Thanks for the review! How do keys feel compared to Minilab that you had before? I am looking for a keyboard that is easy to press keys but still having a good velocity range. I am thinking of getting LK 37 or 49 MK4 or even minilab or Keystep 37. I currently have NI M32 and you need to press hard to get a sound there and keys feel nor very responsive.
