Novation Launchkey 88 Mk3 | Reviews N ovation’s Launchkey controller keyboards have been very successful. Now at version 3, they continue to provide a good balance of price and features, and on the bench I have the new 88-key model. Novation pitch Launchkey as a DAW-ready device that provides keyboard, keypad and DAW control. It has a pretty decent set of onboard standalone features and, in addition to a USB port for connection and powering, there’s a regular MIDI out and sustain pedal input.
