Studio Gear Highlight: Novation Launchkey 25 |
|
Interested in creating original beats with ease? Why not use the Novation Launchkey 25 during your next 970West Studio reservation?
With Novation Launchkey 25, beat makers can use the 16 backlit pads to play samples, trigger loops, and tap out drum patterns. Playing chords is easy using the Fixed Chord feature.
Simply program the chord into the controller, then use one finger to play that chord easily up and down the scale. The pitch bend and modulation wheels allow you to add creative expression to your keyboard lines in real-time.
The arpeggiator function adds tasty movement and repetition to basslines with one press of a button. Sure, a little music theory never hurt anyone, but the scale feature will ensure you'll never play out of key. Just select the root note of the desired key and let the Launchkey 25 keep your melodies sounding tight.
