LAUNCHKEY SETUP EXAMPLES
Launchkey is designed to integrate automatically and seamlessly with your computer music
software. Launchkey can be used with either a computer/laptop, or with an iPad; however
the features and operational possibilities do differ with the two platforms, so they have been
covered separately in the User Guide sections that follow.
Interfacing Launchkey to a computer
Connect Launchkey to your computer using the supplied USB cable between Launchkey’s rear
panel USB socket and a USB port on the computer.

InControl mode
InControl has been integrated into your Launchkey to allow instant operability with certain
DAWs. Consult the DAW Setup Guide you downloaded with the Launchkey Software Installer,
which includes a list of currently supported DAWs. The DAW Setup Guide explains how the
various controls on Launchkey map onto each DAW’s key functions.
If your favourite DAW is not in this list, you can still use Launchkey with it effectively, but you will
need to use Basic Mapping Mode (see below).
Basic mapping mode
Launchkey will act as a general-purpose MIDI controller for use with a wide range of music
software applications. In addition to the keyboard’s Note On/Note Off messages, each of the
various controls (sliders, buttons and rotary controls) will always transmit their own unique MIDI
control message, allowing you to configure your software to respond to the messages as you
wish.
