#Novation launchkey 49 mk2 tutorial mac os x#
I love Novation and their products, I just had high expectations with this unit and felt a little disappointed. The fact that it works so well with Live is the reason why I got it and continue to use it. At this price point, it's a good controller but it does lack some features that are found on other controlers. It takes too long for it to go back and get out of midi channel select mode because it reverts back by itself after a few seconds. Doing this puts the controller in midi channel select mode. So, in order to select a midi channel both buttons have to be pressed at the same time. For example, the L/R buttons above the pitch and mod wheel are used for navigating to different tracks. The way the user has to push to buttons at the same time to access different midi channels is difficult to work with because the delay time it has to revert back it too long. On the flip side, the bads are that it does not have 5 pin midi I/O ports, the key action is a bit weak and not as good as it cold be. The RBG pads are great, the fader, and knobs are good ( I have no complaints about those), the pitch & mod wheel have a great feel, & the transports controls are a perfect complement. It works great with Live and complements the DAW seamlessly. The reason I bought it is because I wanted to use it with Ableton Live 9. The Launchkey 25 MK2 is a great unit but I only give it 3 stars.
