Perfect for what I needed it for
I like to have the full keys because there is something special about playing 88 keys. So far I am satisfied with the keyboard. It does the job, nothing too complicated.

Major problems with Cubase
This review is for the Launchkeys 88 mk3 only. I tried for 2 days to get this working with Cubase Artist 11, it would constantly crash Cubase when trying to load the Mackie Hui protocol (which the Launchkey uses). The Novation tutorials on using this with Cubase 11 simply did not work for me. In the end I had to upgrade to Cubase Artist 12 to resolve the issues. Cubase 12 recognizes the launchkeys on plugging in and gives access to all the extra controls on the Launchkeys. Great controller keyboard once it's working, not so great having to spend an extra 68 bucks on an upgrade to get it working. UPDATE. After a while using Cubase 12 - this keyboard does NOT work properly at all. Having this keyboard plugged in whilst trying to load Cubase will not work. Plugging this keyboard in whilst running Cubase will work up until Cubase looses connection with the Launchkey and it reverts back to it's initial state. Upgraded to Windows 11 - exactly the same problem. Wiped computer and reinstalled Cubase - exactly the same problem. Disable Mackie hui in Cubase 12 - same problem. In my opinion if your a Cubase user - AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE !

Good feel and features
No sustain pedal included. Can only be powered via USB connection to computer, no power socket or option to power any other way

At least as good as synthesizers that cost twice the price or more.

Master davvero ottima, il tasto risponde come ci si aspetta da uno strumento come questo. La programmabilità è elevata, sopratutto se la si collega ad un computer e si sfrutta la modalità DAW: personalmente ho utilizzato Linux e un po' di python per ottenere ogni tipo di personalizzazione. Non è adatta a chi vuole la sensazione "pianoforte vero", ma per meno di 8kg non è davvero possibile avere di più.

The 88 key has pretty nice keys. It also has after touch.. and very big and solid. I am looking forward to using it on. Stage with my smaller one And wk7600

Ultra gut. Ich komme von einem m-audio 88es. Das klassische Anfänger keyboard. Nichts besonderes und ohne Steuerung irgendwelcher Sachen. Aber dieses launchkey 88 ist mit Abstand das krasseste, was ich unter 500 euro in der Hand hatte. Mapping in FL Studio komplett vorhanden. Ich habe 215 Euro im warehouse Deal bezahlt, weil die Software fehlte. Da ich Abelton life (und 3rd party vst's) nicht nutze und wie gesagt FL Studio nutze, war mir das ziemlich egal. Das Gerät selbst ist völlig makellos. Ich habe mehr erhalten als ich erwartet habe. Perfekte Bedienung meiner DAW und ne vernünftige Klaviatur (halbgewichtet). Wenn man wehrt auf echtes Klavier feeling legt, dann ist es nicht ganz das richtige. Aber man verzichtet auf ne Menge Komfort in der Bedienung, wenn man preislich in der selben Liga bleibt um voll Gewichtete Tasten zu bekommen. Aber wenn man mal dieses keyboard unter den Fingern hatte, merkt man schnell, dass es auch seine Vorteile hat, nicht ganz so schwere Tasten zu bedienen. Mir geht es deutlich einfacher von der Hand und ist dennoch genug feeling vorhanden, um Dynamisch zu spielen. Meine Meinung. Ich bin kein virtuose, ich bin eigentlich nur Hobby Musiker seit meiner Kindheit. Aber nach 45 Jahren hat man einiges gesehen und gelernt. Ich verstehe nicht, weshalb Novation das 88 Tasten model nicht in die Gen4 mit nimmt. Schade, wird wohl einfach unterschätzt, wie gut das teil ist. Und es ist ja auch 140cm breit. Platz braucht man auch. Absolute Kaufempfehlung, unter Beachtung seiner Ansprüche im Verhältnis zum Preis.
