The Launchkey Mini also has FL Studio templates included, as do the rest of the instruments in the Launch range which is great to see.

Not Just Live Although historically Novation’s controllers have had a very Ableton-focused setup, these new mini versions boast the ability to interface with any DAW including Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools and Reason.

The speed and quality of the music we made using the apps controlled by the Mini was remarkable. We were particularly fond of a preset entitled Not OK Computer and the dynamic arpeggiator function. We had immense fun experimenting with the synth presets whilst triggering a layer of loops and pads with the Launchpad app. The fusion of these two apps results in, essentially, an all-in-one iOS based alternative to desktop production. The synchronisation works impeccably although when using an older iPad we noticed some lag when switching so it’s best to use the recommended second generation iPad or newer. What is really great is that both Launchpad and key apps work fluidly together and can be switched on the fly using the Launchkey Mini’s left and right track selection buttons. Integration with the free Launchkey app allows for a staggering amount of creative control with minimal setup time, the eight assignable rotary dials control a range of varying parameters that alter the myriad presets substantially, resulting in quite a range of sounds and effects.

However the Launchkey Mini can also work with other tablets via USB operating both Windows 8 touch and Linux. Although DAW integration is smooth and straightforward it’s clear from the outset that Novation’s focus is on iPad based composition. You also get some lovely plug-ins bundled in the package for desktop users: the V-Station and Bass Station synths sound great as do the 80 synth sounds you get with the free Launchkey app.

The Launchkey Mini has a 25-note keyboard and 16 velocity sensitive, three-colour LED launch pads (which match the colours represented in the Launchkey app) eight customisable knobs and seven function buttons. The Launchkey Mini is like a miniature version of the Launchkey 25, however upon closer inspection it soon becomes apparent that the Launchkey Mini is much more than just a simplified version of a previous product. This month I’m looking at the second of Novation’s three new Mini releases.
