I'm pretty new to using DAW's (I was a Recording Engineer in the 1970's and 80's, we used Tape Machines, LOL). I'm building a new Music Workstation in my home and wanted a small, simple Controller with enough features for Drums as well as ARP and Sequencing to use with a DAW. (I already own a Arturia KeyStep 37 for my Modular Synths).
I looked at quite a few YouTube Reviews and this LaunchKey Mini MK3 always stood out. It was designed to really work with Ableton but also integrates fairly well with Logic Pro which is what I thought I would use it with. After having it for a few weeks now I can say that yes it works pretty well with Logic Pro but really integrates even better with Ableton, so much so I have decided to make Ableton my DAW of choice.
The learning curve for me was pretty easy being new to all of this and there are lots of good online tutorials. Overall this little beast is packed with a full range of great features. The build quality is ok, not great but not bad, it’s plastic but the Knobs Buttons and Pads have a solid feel. Just treat it well and it will be just fine!
The Keyboard is not meant for a “virtuoso” but for me who is a hunt and peck keyboardist (I am a drummer) it works and I like the small size. Hey, you can’t beat the price for this much technical power.
Setup was very easy using the Novation WebSite. The only thing I’m still confused about is setting up my own Custom Mode but I’ll figure it out.
As for the person that complained about the lack of a MIDI Cable being included and then buying the wrong ones, that is just “USER” error. All he had to do is contact Novation/Focusrite Customer Support like I did, within an hour they got back to me and sent a Link to where to buy the correct cable. That says a lot about Novation Support!
Bottom line, if you want a nice, compact Controller that’s full of features at a great price…. THIS IS IT

MY REVIEW - What to Know About Novation Launchkey Mini
✅Em & M Pruitt✅
From the manufacturer
Made to move
Launchkey Mini is our most compact and portable 25-mini-key MIDI keyboard controller. It has everything you need to start creating in Ableton Live – and it’ll fit in your bag. Make tracks anywhere with the intuitive Ableton Live control, arpeggiator, fixed chord mode, MIDI out and sounds in the box.
-
Get creative.
Make melodies and rhythms with Launchkey Mini’s powerful arpeggiator. Fixed Chord mode adds a customisable fixed chord shape that follows you up the keyboard. Launchkey Mini gets any track moving.
-
Your tracks, your way.
Deep integration with Live lets you move where the music takes you. Transport, device and mixer controls mean fewer mouse clicks while device macros mean more hands-on control of your music.
-
However you want, wherever you want.
Launchkey Mini comes with everything you need to make tracks in the box. Throw all this into the included copy of Ableton Live Lite, or use Launchkey Mini’s integrations with any HUI compatible DAW.
-
It’s an instrument – play it.
Launchkey Mini features a new mini-keymech – our finest to date. Two touch strips for pitch and mod let you feel your sounds. The 16 RGB pads are super-sensitive for precise and dynamic drumming.
