Que bueno!

I'm just a beginner but I've been learning & practising with Novation Launchkey 61 MK3 so far all I can say is, it's amazing!..

The weight of the keys is good, connects with my computer & production softwares without any problem. Definitely would recommend it.

Nice quality, non-motorised knobs pointless.
kerochan 09.12.2020
This is just an update on the Launchkey 61 I have recently bought to use with Logic.

The keyboard looks and feels great, all works fine, the knobs and faders feel excellent.
However, I have reverted to only using the midi keyboard, not the knobs and faders.

These are mapped to Logics Pans and volumes, and work great BUT, if you open up say a recent project after working on another project, then you need to line up all the faders and knobs to match the on screen ones, as they are not motorised, a real hassle!
Also if you highlight say track 9 to work in, then that becomes the start of the new bank of 8 tracks for the faders, and you might wanna physically turn up track 2, but the fader will turn up track 10!
This doesn't happen in Pro Tools, you need to press shift and bank on the Novation, so even if you have highlighted track 9, the if you move track 2 fader, that will only move track 2, not 10!
Which makes it better to work with Pro Tools.

BUT at the end of the day, working with all the knobs and faders turned down/off on the Novation and using the Magic trackpad, is much easier!, the Novation keyboard is great through.
Theres a lot to be said for motorised faders! but even then I am sure I would just end up using the magic trackpad!,
of course you can use the play, record mute/solo buttons on the Novation, but even then using the trackpad and computer keyboard is easier, and I don't wanna start forgetting computer keyboard shortcuts.

But if anyone is thinking of getting the Launchkey, its very nice!
