Use a compatible 9V power supply adapter when connecting the Launchkey to an iOS device. If your device isn't recognized, visit our MIDI device troubleshooting guide.

  1. Connect the USB cable to the computer or powered USB hub.
  2. Navigate to your computer's device settings to ensure that the device is recognized.
    • PC: Go to Device Manager, then clickSound, video and game controllers to verify it's listed.
    • Mac: Click theApple icon, selectAbout this Mac, and then clickSystem Report. The Keystation is listed underHardware > USB.

You can use the Keystation to iOS devices, as well. Be sure to use the Apple Camera Connection kit on earlier generation iOS devices or Apple's Lightning to USB Camera adapter for more recent devices.

The Novation Launchkey is both a MIDI keyboard as well as a DAW controller. You can either use it as a generic MIDI controller or, depending on which DAW you are using, you can enable InControl mode. This lets you control the most typical parameters in a DAW, such as panning, channel fader control, and standard transport functions, without assigning MIDI values manually. To set up InControl mode in your DAW, visit the InControl setup guide. Otherwise, visit our guides below to get it set up.
