The way you tested out the Launchkey Mini Mk3 in little ways, tested each feature and played a few notes, to show what each could do... was honestly super refreshing, and made for the perfect video example of just what this little device can do. THANK YOU. Exactly what I was looking for, and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Just ordered mine and so stoked for it to arrive. One exciting feature with ableton is that any sustain pedal can be mapped to enable live looping (!!!!) Like I said I cannot. Wait hahaha
Fantastic review! Im still trying to decide between this one (Novation Launchkey Mini mk3) and the Arturia Minilab mk2. Any thoughts? Fwiw, I don't use Ableton (i use Tracktion Waveform).
I have a DMK mini and this and the FL Akai. Just getting started and used to getting it all working. I find the keyboard is too loud in a plastic sound with almost all key board presses with any velocity. It's a bit of a local distraction. The DMK was better in this I think. But the features are better on the Novation.
Congrats for a great talent and for showing us how cool the new midi keyboard is. I have and Alesis VI49 but I really just need a small keyboard to help me control Ableton plus some piano or organ compings for my Blues guitar practices. This looks perfect for me
@@AlexBoulos Hey Alex. Thoughts after a year with the Novation compared to the Arturia? I'm looking at both right now as a desktop secondary controller (use an S61 MK2 as primary). Everything about the Novation looks spot on, though not sure about the low travel keys.
bought this keyboard and it is not working asexpected. I press the SHIFT and only 3 orange and one green pads light up/ This is not what I saw in the tutorial vid. I tried to contact Novation 3 times and they completely ignorred. No response of any kind. Ytied the factory reset, but no luck. Any idea how to reset this keyboard ?
You gotta make sure you have the control surface installed for it. Go through the get started on Novation.com. You reset the keyboard every time you unplug it but it needs to interface with the control surface to have all its features otherwise it’ll be in generic mode and you’ll have to map things manually. I hope this helps a little.
pmellow My personal preference is the Novation LaunchKey Mini Mk3 because it is lighter, has better features and knob design. I do prefer the pitch bend and mod-wheel on the Minilab.
Is there a non-sensitive mode for pads? meaning, you could press the drum pads with any force and they will register at 100% if the mode is on. I am torn between getting this midi and Akai MPK Mini, which does have this feature...
There isn't a button on the Launchkey mini Mk3 that accentuates all notes but you very easily create that effect in Ableton using a Midi Effect called "Velocity". Use a preset called "Fix 127" or raise the "Out Low" parameter value to the max.
Many thanks for your video alex. I was wondering in comparison of Arturia minilab MK2 and this midi keyboard, which one should i choose to buy. I just found out that you can create the base note of the left hand on the pad and play the chords by your right hand which is super cool feature. Can you kindly suggest me which is easy friendly to use and how good is the software which they come with Novation. cheers mate.. I love your art;)
Sina Ses Thanks Sina! I think the novation wins in terms of user friendliness but if you are an arturia fanatic you should get the minilab mk2 it’s also an amazing product
They both come with the same software (Ableton) but the minilab also comes with the Analog Lab plugin from arturia which is what it is designed to be used with.
@@AlexBoulos Alright after 4 days watching this video in half speed I finally manage to remake it. Now I can try playling it without drawing my notes on the DAW😂 Also where did you get the last instrument? (baritone guitar) I don't have it in ableton suite
I've been watching recently some videos from this dude. He's really good.
Thank you for your support, means a lot!

You're an excellent critic as well as a good musician! Great work!

Can you explain that to someone like me with no musical background? I just purchased this as my first foray

3:05 - Yeah, that's my favorite type of guitar - with strings :D
Nothing wrong with that lol, it’s a preset

Wow that was beatiful. Good work. I'm just w8ing for my Novation mini mk3 :D
Damn, you made that look so darn easy.. lol... snappy review 👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾
You have three hands lol
Just bought this, its coming tomorow! would love to see you use it in future vid and make another song/beat with it!! dope!
And Also, I would love to know how you compare the Novation Launchkey Mini and your Arturia... its gonna be amazing comparison I believe
Same here im confused between the novation mk3 and the arturia MiniLab mk2
I would like to hear the response to this question!
@@IceGuitarist23 If you prefer a nicer keyboard action, go for Arturia, if you need more intuitive DAW controls go for Novation.
I'll make a video a video on that. Stay tuned!

Which one is better "Arturia Minilab Mk2" or "Novation Launchkey 25"?
Launchkey Mini Mk3 all the way.
@@AlexBoulos Thanks Alex.
"I wanna do something annoying" haha, yup, mission accomplished.
Wish Arturia releases a new Minilab and Essentials line
Great review, and some. Thank you!

Awsome vid,probably thanks to you I m gonna buy it imediatly🤣
Azuureq Hahah GO FOR IT
Love the video, really useful! Please do a top 5 must-own plugins for beginners, thanks.
Arturia MiniLab Mk II or Novation LaunchKey Mini Mk3????'
akai mpk3 is out .
Lol I'm in the same boat. Those are the 2 im torn between.
Cute song 😂❤❤❤❤
Excellent!!
Hey man should I go for Minilab mk II or this one? In my country minilab is 10 dollar less
pmellow My personal preference is the Novation LaunchKey Mini Mk3 because it is lighter, has better features and knob design. I do prefer the pitch bend and mod-wheel on the Minilab.
Hey, so its working in fl studio 100%?
Because in the midi setting its showing me that i can connect only the MK2...
You probably need to install something for it to work on FL. They'll also probably include Mk3 support in their future update.
@@AlexBoulosnvm its working :D
Thanks anyway🤘🏻
Ido Berg is it nice to play on FL?? I use FL but I am thinking to switch to ableton
@@IdoBerg yeah, how well does it work with fl? I'm debating between this and the arturia for use with fl 20
@@bratatat4833 fl is the best for me... ableton is super harder to understand and with fl its more easier so..

@@AlexBoulos interesting. so i assume it's possible to do in other DAWs as well? let's say if i map my Launchkey mini to FL, etc.. Thanks for reply
novation launchkey mini mk3 vs akai mpk mini mk2 - which one is better if you work with ableton live10? And why?
absolutely mk3 because novation made this product for ableton live
Can you transpose or is there a way to transpose
In your opinion: akai mpk mini mk2 x novation launchkey mk3 x arturia minilab mk2 ?? Thx!!
Novation Launchkey Mk3 all the way. They're all close though
Wich daw did you use during playing?
Very nice.. subscribed!!

@@AlexBoulos Novation ordered...cheers mate
@@sinases9043 good luck bro here in Indian Amazon it's not available i think it will take sometime but it's very difficult me to waiting
@@vishalagnihotri635 Which one did you buy? Novation or Arturia?
What software is this
Ableton Live. Want to learn from me ?
This midi k. just for abletion live ? I using lmms
I don't think it's exclusively ableton, but it's definitely mapped optimally towards ableton
Can I use with it mobile
what software did you use??
Steven adi perabowo Prabowo Ableton Live 10
Is it possible to map kontakt player 6?
Love your video, but why hit the keys so hard? 😅
I just switched from FL to Ableton, sold my Akai Fire and ordered the Launchkey MKIII 😁😁
Hahahahah, I guess I'm impulsive. Great! Now you just gotta learn the basics of Ableton and PRACTICE
Even better than Arturia MiniLab 25????
Yes, by a little
Subscribed.
Does it have the full velocity function?
On the key i mean
@@Nortsan197 Yes of course
@@AlexBoulos yay :0
Thanks u :D
@@AlexBoulos and btw do it have the function to trandspose to semitones on the keyboard?
「Nortsan 」 Yes I assume it would be holding shift + transpose. (I’m traveling I so can’t really confirm that’s true)
Make again how to use launchkey mini In ableton plus how to play piano with 25 tuts like pro
Will do
transpose key function novation launchkey mk3 25
You play so well !!! But how??
