Novation Launchkey 37 MK3 - Unboxing and Setup 

I am really liking it. Don't forget the new firmware update. Check the Novation website

Don't forget the power supply, not included 🙃

You are welcome!

Thanks, will do!

Watch the videos for the set up. If all else fails, call Novation support. They will help you.

Glad it helped!

Not sure what you mean exactly. If you are talking about a delay from when you touch a key to when a soft synth in your DAW plays then it will depend on your computer setup and DAW. There are a number of things that could cause latency, but in Logic I make sure I don't have any plugins like Ozone running. Also click on Logic's "low latency" button. That's about all I can help with.

Thanks. Hope it helps.

Actually the integration is pretty good. it does control some of the logic plugins, and 3rd party plugins usually let you "MIDI learn." I use this board in the studio unless I need a full-size. I love the feel of it and it's just the perfect size for a desktop.

Good luck!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed.

Honestly, if you are trying to decide between the 37 and 49 Lanchkey, they are very similar. It all comes down to how many keys you want. For performance and most cases, I would prefer the 49 key, but I chose the 37 because I was looking for a smaller footprint on my desk (and I already have other 49 key controllers).

I don't know, I didn't notice a difference. But I went back and tested it and I guess I notice the black keys have a little less resistance compare to the white keys. For me, it's not enough difference to impact my playing. It makes sense, because the back keys are physically different (shorter and different sharpe) and so require a different method of mechanics than the white keys. I suggest you find someone local and maybe test out and see if you have a defective controller.

Should work fine with any synth or module that uses MIDI. You could literally bypass a computer and hook it up directly if you wanted. But also works fine through a DAW.

What would it be it's power supply? Would it still need to be connected to a computer?

It is powered strictly by USB. So it might be able to draw power from the Behringer, but I am not sure. You could also use a USB charger via the USB port on the Novation and then a standard MIDI connection to the Behringer. I am guessing something equivalent to my laptop USB C output would be sufficient (5.2V x 2.1A). Just look for those numbers on the USB charger. Or better yet, consult with Novation to determine the appropriate charger amperage.

@@EricCPowellMusic Thanks

Pretty sure it does. You'll have to check on the website at novationmusic.com/en/keys/launchkey to make sure the drivers are currently compatible. If not, I am sure they will be soon.

I wouldn't mind a 61 key version. But for this purpose I needed a smaller one. I liked that I could get 37 keys for the same width as most 25 key controllers.
