overvieW

Launchkey is a keyboard instrument that comes with integrated software for seamless music-making.
The keyboard provides control over not only your existing music software (sometimes called a ‘DAW’)
and the included V-Station and Bass Station software plug-ins, but also the Launchkey iPad synth app
and the Launchpad iPad loop-triggering app. Together, this unique software-hardware combination
allows instant, real time tweaking of synth parameters, loops and audio effect manipulation.
