Novation LaunchKey Mini Mk3 - Live jam and demo
Ғылым және технология
The Novation LaunchKey Mk3 is a cool little controller with Ableton Live integration. This simple jam is done all on the LaunchKey demonstrating the basic workflow including the very funky arpeggiator with Mutate and Deviate functions.
And it's not an iPad it's a Microsoft Surface Pro 6.

This is exactly what the world needs. Clear cut functionality, best demo possible, great aesthetics. No bullshit at all. Keep up the great work brother.
Holy shit dude, this video was so amazingly helpful. Describing what you were doing/how the controller worked is something i have been wanting to see forever. Just ordered one of these, thank you!
thank you - finally a youtuber explaining things for the notice -
Such a chill jam this controller is impressive!
Thank you so much for sharing your straight forward demo. Excellent work, I'm a visual learner and just acquired the same launchkey mini plus need to work on how to use it more but this helps a lot! 👍🏼 🎹 🎼
This is what a good midi controller demo looks like, great work
Excellent little controller, and what a great tune too, you make it look so easy!

Adrian Rabbage in deed... hehe you make it looik easy..Robin. I’d probably record this one by one on acoustic instruments faster, than i would be able to, over the MIDI approach.. like u here.. but i’ll get there. And yes.. the touch panel on the surface makes it even smoother too. ;) . Also.i couldn’t agree more.. -> really great tune. i wish more ppl made beat based music like this.. All i find is boring EDM.. Thank you for this!
Awesome synth. Wow
Good demo of the features.
Finally.. Now i know how to use all the features. Thanks mate
I love this setup. Waiting for ableton on ipads but never thought of windows tablet for such purposes.
This is beautiful and informative, thank you!
wow ..... very nice. Sounds amazing. Thank you. More please
*Dope* Well Done for a live demo jam
Really liked this tune, very chilled :D You've inspired me to dig my older Launchkey out for a play...

I do like the fact they put pitch and mod on it. So many mini keyboards don't have it anymore. That is a crime against keyboard controllers in my book!

Great chill tune! How did you configure the LaunchKey mini to auto Arm each track when moving between tracks? When I do the same maneuver as you, it only selects the new Track, but does not Arm it for recording.

Hey Robin! I think only you can give an honest answer here. Will it be possible to run Surface Pro by a controller like MK3 or Push or anything WITHOUT an interface. Meaning will Windows on SP6/7 handle delivering pad/key press to Live without a lag? I am thinking of changing mobile platform from iPad to Surface IF it can deliver without extra wires/interface/charger on ago (not on a studio table, but train, backyard, etc). Also SP7 promising better performance. Do you think it can handle decent Ableton project with just SP and cans? What drivers would it use? Say I just freeze everything and have a single Arturia VST, couple EFX. Can it be done without lag, so can play MK3 or jus5 pc keyboard interactive? Very cool and easy going laydback tune, keep you interested too. Enjoying! TNX!

Hello! I have lots and lots of videos on using ASIO4ALL drivers with the onboard sound and the performance you get in Ableton and other software - browse through the videos on my channel and you'll find them. Is it possible? YES! Is it awesome? Not exactly, kind of, depends on what you want and the software you're using. Ableton Live doesnt like modern Windows WSAPI drivers so you have to use ASIO4ALL - it can work - see my videos :)
How do you undo with this setup?
Amazing! Thank you for the beautiful performance. :D I have also just bought a LaunchKey mini mk3 and have a little problem - Does the pad have sensitivities? Because there is no pressure difference on my pads but I can see your hi-hat pad sounds it has!
@MoltenMusicTech

They are velocity sensitive - maybe check to see if it's disabled in the software app.
Love it! So you were an expert finger-drummer and looping ninja the whole time!? Would love to see you mesh this with modular.

Does this get recorded as a short loop or a long clip with all the changes happening? Thanks
@MoltenMusicTech
4 жыл бұрын
Yes, it’s with Ableton Live where you create loops, so each part is an instrument in Live that I’m playing from the launch key which is then looped and then I can trigger the loops from the pads
Question? Are there any Project Files for the Launchkey, like on a Launchpad? thanks in advance =)

Not sure what that means. Ableton has a script for the LaunchKey Mini if that's what you're after.
Hi, I have a question. (I’m new at Ableton and I recently have a Novation Launchkey mini like yours in the video, so I still have to figure out how this all works...) I wanted to make a beat, so I pressed the record button on the launchkey. It did recorded it, but I can’t see it anywhere on my arrangement time selection and it just keeps playing. I don’t know how I can edit my beat it on Ableton.
@MoltenMusicTech
4 жыл бұрын
Well it must be there somewhere :D look in the Clips/Session view, not the arrangement - that's probably where you'll find it. The LaunchKey creates clips when you clip record, it doesn't enable recording in the arrangement (i think).

thx so much for this video! other videos have so much talking, that you get through a lot before you reach any useful info, if at all. i have a question, how do you use the launchkey to move to the next scene in ableton? or is there no way? i would like to move up and down different scenes , to get to a specific slot.

I believe you can, you navigate around in Session view and then hit the Launch Scene button. I don't have this keyboard wired up so i can't check, but there's stuff on it in the manual.

But you dind't record most of the stuff with the arp etc.... so, it was done just real time and not recorded?

would have been nice to hear you filter that not-303 sound, yea, I think as a jam it's nice, try not to what I do and get too indulgent on the keys (IMO) I think you would get more out of your not-acid baseline would have been more complimented by the change at 5:19... greats stuff cheers, hope I wasn't patronising too much x
