The Novation Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 37-Key Keyboard Controller is the compact creative powerhouse of the MK4 Launchkey range — three octaves of synth-action mini keys in a highly portable form factor, loaded with the same advanced creative tools found in the full-size Launchkey models. Despite its compact dimensions, the Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 is far more than a basic MIDI keyboard. Eight touch-sensitive encoders, 16 RGB FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch, pitch bend and modulation touch strips, an OLED display, and full transport controls make this one of the most feature-rich mini keyboard controllers available at its size and price point. USB-C connectivity, 3.5mm MIDI output, and sustain pedal input complete a well-considered hardware package that works equally well in the studio and on the road.

Generative Arpeggiator, Chord and Scale Modes, OLED Feedback

The defining creative tools of the Novation Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 are the same that characterise the larger Launchkey MK4 models — meaning buyers of the compact version lose nothing in terms of musical capability. The generative arpeggiator, step sequencer for Ableton Live clip launching, and comprehensive Chord and Scale modes are all present, with the OLED display providing real-time visual feedback on what chord you are playing and which scale is active. Scale Mode allows selection from 30 scales, keeping melodic playing harmonically consistent without thinking about individual note relationships. As a result, the Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 is an outstanding tool for live improvisation, whether you are playing into Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or any other DAW.

NKS compatibility ensures seamless integration with the Native Instruments software ecosystem, while custom Ableton Live integration maps the encoders, pads, and transport controls to session view, mixer, and clip launching functions. The included software bundle delivers immediate production value: Ableton Live Lite, Cubase LE, Novation Play, the GForce heritage synth bundle (Bass Station, SEM, OB-EZ, AXXESS), Orchestral Tools Parallel Orchestra, Klevgrand Slammer, R0verb, and Luxe, plus Melodics lessons. Available at Marshall Music South Africa in a Kensington-slot-secured chassis, the Novation Launchkey Mini 37 MK4 is the ideal portable controller for producers who want the full Launchkey MK4 experience in a travel-ready form.

Novation

Founded in Oxford, England in 1992, Novation has spent more than three decades at the forefront of electronic music instrument design. The company built its reputation on accessible, performance-focused hardware — from the original Bass Station, one of the first truly affordable analogue synthesizers, to the BassStation II that brought those circuits into the modern era, through to the pioneering Launchpad, a grid controller that became synonymous with clip-based performance in Ableton Live. Today, Novation’s catalogue spans analogue and digital synthesizers, keyboard controllers, and grid controllers, all united by a philosophy of making music creation immediate, expressive, and creatively inspiring. Under the Focusrite Group umbrella, Novation continues to innovate, combining thoughtful hardware design with deep DAW integration and an industry-leading software bundle that ensures every product delivers value from the moment it is unboxed. Marshall Music South Africa stocks the full Novation range.
