Joking apart, the Launchkey 25, 49 and 61 versions clock in at £99, £129 and £159 respectively, so they offer a lot of bang for your buck. All for not much more than a decent pair of shoes or a meal from aforementioned restaurants. Secondly it also has Pro Tools integration built in so you can control the transport, faders, mutes and also assign MIDI controller too. The NLK61 was of interest to me for a couple of reasons, the first was the features to price ratio, in other words you get a lot for your money. I appreciate that there are varying needs and budgets, but I do get attached to the ones I like, so even the simple task of swapping from my trusty stead to a newbie takes some energy.Īnyway, I eventually took the Novation Launchkey 61 out of the box and gave it pride of place on my Ultimate Support stand (note the stand costs more than the keyboard) and I was ready to take a look at it. It’s not that I’m a snob, at least not about controller keyboards, shoes and restaurants yes, but controller keyboards no. I say this to indicate that a lot of controller keyboards pass through my hands and the thought of reviewing a budget controller keyboard is my least favourite task. No details of price where available at this point.Ī few weeks ago a Novation Launchkey 61 landed at PTE HQ for me to take a look at. On a good week I can have several keyboards littering the studio, in fact so many that only an octopus who plays like Chick Corea would have any chance of making real use out of them. Novation have produced a video that demonstrates how Audiohub 2x4 is central to Nightmove’s (Tycho’s drummer) live performance rig. Its integrated USB hub powers up to three USB devices simultaneously, meaning a single power supply can power an entire setup, and connect everything to a computer (or an iPad with a Camera Connection Kit). It provides an ultra-low latency stereo input, four high quality audio outputs and a super-loud headphone output, all in a compact and tough aluminium case with 96kHz, 24-bit ‘Focusrite Sound Inside’. Connects to iPad via Camera Connection Kit.Ableton Live Lite and 1GB Loopasters samples included.Integrated USB 2.0 hub with three ports.Loud outputs for DJs and Live performers.96kHz, 24-bit ‘Focusrite Sound Inside’ audio quality.
Two in, four out audio interface and USB hub.That’s why Novation have designed Audiohub 2x4: designed for electronic music production. There is a pretty good chance that in any studio there will be an audio interface and a USB hub.
