The Novation Launchkey 49 MK2 is a 49-note USB MIDI keyboard controller designed to make producing electronic music fast and intuitive, especially in Ableton Live, for which it was purpose-built. It suits producers, beatmakers, and home studio owners in Nairobi who want hands-on control of their software without a steep learning curve. The synth-action keyboard is joined by 16 full-colour RGB velocity-sensitive pads for launching clips and finger drumming, eight rotary knobs, nine sliders, and dedicated transport, navigation, and track-control buttons. Novation's InControl technology maps the controls automatically to your DAW's mixer and devices, and the controller works with all major music software. Launchkey 49 MK2 is fully USB bus-powered and class compliant, so it connects to Mac or PC with a single cable and needs no drivers or external power supply. The bundled software package includes Ableton Live Lite and XLN Audio Addictive Keys, and free Melodics lessons help you build keys and pad skills from day one. From sketching beats to mixing complete tracks, it is one of the easiest ways to start making music on a computer.
