User questions & answers

Question:	Is it compatable with fl studio
Answer:	Sorry, I don't know. I use Ableton 9 Lite. One of the product reviewers (Nelson Cartier, the first of 10 reviews) lists some software that it is compatible with and he mentions FL Studio as being compatible.
Question:	Does it work with fl studio
Answer:	Worked fine with FL Studio 12.x
Question:	Might be a dumb question but can this be connected via mid cable? All i see is usb port on picture
Answer:	It does not have the old school 5 pin DIN midi ports but the USB port is USB midi and works the same as the 5 pins. Actually better because you don't need a midi interface and it uses one cable instead of 2. It can also power your midi controller via USB, assuming your midi device supports that. I was skeptical moving from. 5 pin midi to USB midi but now that I have I no longer use the 5 pin cables if possible.
Question:	Does this with macbook garage band
Answer:	I have a 2018 MacBook Pro. I plugged it in, loaded Garageband and was working instantly.

User questions & answers

Question:	does the midi software (velvet, xpand, and mini grand) work as plugins with Ableton 9? As a vst? or are they stand alone
Answer:	They should work both ways
Question:	What kind of usb connector is needed to connect to an iPad with (lightning cable
Answer:	I wanted to connect my Yamaha p125 to my ipad and was told to buy that ridiculously expensive Apple Camera Adapter. Instead, I bought an Amazon Basics regular USB to iPad Pro USB adapter for around 10 bucks. Works the same and a whole lot cheaper. Don't believe me? Go to Sweetwater's website and look at the demo video using the Yamaha keyboard with the ipad Pro. You can see the same adapter.
Question:	Will this work with Mac Mojave
Answer:	This is from the M-Audio website FAQ's: Will the Keystation Mini 32 MK3 work with my Windows or Mac computer? Yes! The Keystation Mini 32 MK3 is a class-compliant device, which means that it's plug-and-play and does not require any drivers to be installed. This also means that it will work and is supported on the latest operating systems, including Windows 10 and Mac 10.14. The important take-away, for everyone, is this: "The Keystation Mini 32 MK3 is a class-compliant device".
Question:	Is the 49 key semi weighted as well
Answer:	I owned the Keystation 88 II, which has the semi-weighted feel. So, rather than guess at the answer to your question, I just checked the M-Audio website. Their description says that the Keystation 49 MK3 has a synth action. That type of action, typically, is a lighter spring feel than the semi-weighted feel. I actually liked the feel,of the 88 II. I owned two of them. One lasted four years. The second unit only one and a half years. I take particularly good care of my equipment. And don’t pound on the keys. However, they both failed far too soon, in my opinion. I have switched to the Nektar brand. Only time will tell about their durability. Good luck with your choice.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this product come with all the needed cords
Answer:	it comes with the usb to the keyboard cord which is all the keyboard needs. since it takes the power from the pc it connects to.
Question:	Does it work for Fl studio 9 or higher
Answer:	I use FL Studio 11 and it works just fine :)
Question:	Will it work with Garage band
Answer:	Yes-it works great with garage band.
Question:	Do the keys press smooth? Are the keys actually "semi-weighted" or "like semi-weighted" synth keys
Answer:	Not weighted, but as a lifelong pianist these keys are much better than the cheap non-weighted keyboards, I'd say semi-weighted for sure. Perhaps the other answer on here wasn't as experienced with technique to know the difference between this and the ones that are completely non-weighted. More control here without a doubt.

Product description

Launchkey Mini (MK2) is Novation's most compact and portable MIDI keyboard controller. It may be small, but it gives you everything you need to create new tunes in Ableton Live without cluttering up your desk. Launchkey Mini has been designed to make it easy and fun to produce electronic music. All the controls work as soon as you plug it in and are arranged to make the most sense in Ableton Live. 16 velocity-sensitive pads let you launch clips and play beats. They light up to show you when clips are loaded, playing, and recorded and are laid out to match your Ableton Live session view; one row to launch clips, and one row to stop them. You can also easily tweak your instruments using eight high-quality knobs, and sketch out ideas on a 25-note mini keyboard with a fast synth-style action that makes it really enjoyable to play. Launchkey Mini is compact and tough enough to throw in your bag, so you can take it anywhere. It will work the moment you plug it into your laptop and you won’t need any drivers or power cables, because it’s class compliant and bus-powered via USB. You can also connect it to your iPad via a Camera Connection Kit to control all sorts of iOS music apps, like Novation's free Launchkey App. Launchkey Mini also integrates immediately with FL Studio, Pro Tools, Reason, Cubase, and Logic without any mapping whatsoever. It comes with everything you need to start making music: Ableton Live Lite, XLN Audio Addictive Keys, Novation Bass Station and V Station virtual instruments and over 4GB of Loopmasters samples.

• Launchkey Mini - the mini keyboard for Ableton Live

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use the pads as a drum pad machine
Answer:	I don't know! I got my refund as soon as Amazon received it. But if you cancelled it before it shipped, you should contact Amazon!
Question:	hi plz help me ... what is the difrent in lunchkey 61 and lunchkey 61 mk
Answer:	It has a mini HDMI. I bought a dongle to HDMI for $7.
Question:	does this have speakers built in or able to create sound on its own
Answer:	it is like an earphone jack
Question:	Is there a sleeve or a case that could protect this when I'm on the go
Answer:	Well....sure you can touch the screen, but as for a response to that touch all you will get is a fingerprint on your screen. So no, its not a touch screen monitor on this cheap laptop. The battery is no good either.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it possible to "click and drag" with this? Seems like on many games or using File Explorer that would be needed
Answer:	I have used it with windows 10 and I'm able to highlight, click and drag n drop. So far, this has been able to do virtually everything a keyboard and mouse has been able to do with my pc. Hope this helps.
Question:	You need to prepare a micro usb host otg cable. can someone please explain this to me
Answer:	I'm not sure what the context of your question is. Who or what told you that you need an OTG cable and for what purpose? If all you want to do is charge the keyboard, you just need a normal USB A to USB micro B charging cable. Plug the A side into your charging port on your pc or into an eletrical socket to usb adapter or a power bank and the micro B side into the keyboard. OTG is not necessary for charging. Also when talking about a host cable, that just means it has a plug on one side (usually the A side) that is intended to plug into a PC or an android device and have that device act as the primary device in the connection, like when transferring data. Basically any usb cable with a normal A side and a Micro B side is technically a host cable. The only other aspect to be aware of is if you need a male A plug or a female A plug and that is determined by what you are plugging into. For your purpose, probably an male A plug is what you want. Usually the terminology about host isn't used outside of talking about phones as all normal USB PC cables are also generally host cables so the distinction isn't very useful in that space. I looked at some of the other reviews that mentioned OTG specifically and the only reference I can find to it is about using it with something like an amazon fire stick. Basically a fire stick doesn't provide enough power for the keyboard adapter by itself so you need an OTG cable usb hub with a power adapter plug to provide external power to anything plugged into the fire stick. Without knowing why you believe that you need an OTG cable I can't answer any better than that but hopefully some part of all that answers your question.
Question:	How do you use play, pause, fast forward, rewind on this
Answer:	They work the same as any usb keyboard with the same buttons. Most media players have the commands set up internally so they should work as advertised. I use vlc media player and it utilizes the buttons just fine, though my device doesn't have a play pause button so I just use the space button instead. Volume controls affect the pc, not the player though I think
Question:	This doesn't seem to have the pause/play and fast forward buttons like on the I8? Or does the left cluster with Ok and arrows do this
Answer:	No pause/play and fast forward buttons on this and left cluster doesnt do it either. But it still is a very good device.
