The keyboard defaults to MIDI channel 1 on each power up, although you can temporarily change it by entering the MIDI channel menu (by holding down the two track keys simultaneously). Launchkey 49 features a synth action keybed, velocity sensitive pads, essential transport controls, and nine 45mm faders. Larger, improved velocity-sensitive pads provide greater control over dynamics, and eight fixed rotary knobs bring your software to life at your fingertips.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.
