help Novation Launchkey 25 MK2 FAQ

Does the Novation Launchkey 25 MK2 use full-size keys?

Yes. It has 25 velocity-sensitive synth-action keys, plus 16 velocity-sensitive launch pads, 8 rotary controls, and one slider.

How well does the Launchkey 25 MK2 control Ableton Live?

Ableton Live is its deepest integration, with clip launching, device control, track navigation, and transport commands. Novation also offered Ableton Live Lite to Launchkey owners.

Can the Launchkey 25 MK2 work with Logic Pro X?

Yes, but Logic Pro X uses the Launchkey's InControl mapping through a Mackie HUI setup. The 6 transport buttons and 8 rotary controls work, while the pads do not provide Ableton-style clip launching in Logic.

Can I connect the Launchkey 25 MK2 to an iPad?

Yes, using Apple's Camera Connection Kit or a Lightning-to-USB adapter, depending on the iPad. The keyboard cannot draw power from the iPad, so Novation's guide specifies an external 9V adapter for that setup.
