Using the Launchkey Mini [MK3]
The Launchkey Mini is designed to work seamlessly with Ableton Live, offering deep integration
through powerful production and performance controls. Launchkey Mini also boasts a powerful
arpeggiator (‘Arp’) and a ‘Fixed Chord’ mode – both of which can be used with Live, other DAWs, or
standalone with your outboard gear. In addition, you can modify the Launchkey Mini to suit your needs
with Custom Modes. Continue reading for explanations of all of Launchkey Mini’s functionality.
Working with Ableton Live 10
Installation
If you don’t yet own Ableton Live 10, register your Launchkey Mini at novationmusic.com/register to
download and install your included copy of Ableton Live 10 Lite. If you’ve never used Ableton Live
before, we recommend visiting our Easy Start Tool (see ‘Getting Started with your Launchkey Mini
[MK3]’). There you’ll find videos covering installation, the software’s basic features, and how to get
started making music with your Launchkey Mini.
Setup
With Ableton Live installed, get your Launchkey Mini up and running by plugging it into your Mac or
PC’s USB port. When you open Live your Launchkey Mini will be automatically detected and enter
Session mode.
If you press
Shift
on the Launchkey your pad lights should look like the image below. The first 3 pads
(orange) select pad behaviour, while the 5 pads to the right (green) select knob behaviour.
If your pads do not resemble the image above you’ll need to configure Live’s Control Surface
Preferences. To do this, find the ‘Link/MIDI’ Preferences menu in Ableton Live:
Windows: Options > Preferences > Link/MIDI
Mac: Live > Preferences > Link/MIDI
