Well, I may be wrong, but I think he is from Singapore (just next to Malaysia :> ), would I be right on to assuming so ? I'm Australian and have some Singaporean friends that have the same accent
Your review is always awesome. You go direct to what people need to see when deciding prior to a purchase. I’m in search of a new MIDI controller to replace my sickening M Audio Oxygen 49 Blue which keep doing phantom pitch bends, out of tune nonsense. Thanks for this review help me a lot in narrowing my choice.
Came across this video while checking for looper, good review and thank you for sharing....I like the short music which makes easier to understand the device. Would love to see more of those music, very soothing. Thanks again Cheers!
I play the piano and i'm looking for learning how to create music, I didn't know where to start to choose the midi keyboard i wanted, i think you definitely convinced me !
I bought a 49 key this weekend. I agree with you on your "desktop" comment. Probably the only downsides are that Ableton downloads were pretty slow (that could be due to holiday traffic volume) and the keys are spring loaded and unweighted. But, for the price, I didn't expect weighted keys.
Great review Rueben. I am a guitarist who does midi tracks for my live solo work. I have used an 80's DX7 as a midi controller for 20 years but need to downsize because of space in my room. This 49 key looks perfect... i was looking at the 25 key model but the keys are like a size for little children's fingers lol! Can you please confirm that this one definitely had full size keys? Thanks again mate for you great review. Wayne (Queensland Australia)
I use my Roland e09 with midi usb converter to play.. hopefully il get myself a controller one day.. i go through your videos, very nicely explained.. keep it up..👍
Very nice review! Concise and well presented, thank you! Timely as my old M-Audio Oxygen 49 decided to get very temperamental and lose some keys... Looked at several options, but the Novation seems to be continually at the top of my list.... Best, Steve
Thanks man, I have the AKAI MPK mini mk2 and am thinking of upgrading to one of these for additional board range and great compatibility / ease of use with other music kit
the best review exploring all the options available.....I hav a question, I was looking forward to buy it chruch purposes, and for private use as well. So is it necessary to plugin to a PC or an Ipad everytime....or will it b able to produce basic Piano sounds on its own???
Great Video! I'm just starting out with Midi and Daw and was wondering if this keyboard is sufficient enough for my needs as a new user? I've noticed that Novation have brought out the SL Mk3 which is tempting, but what will I really gain from spending an extra 300 pounds on the Mk3? Thanks. 👍
Repost: Hey! Thanks for your prompt response! I'm a hobbyist and film editor by profession. I want to do basic sound design and score spotting for which I want to learn keyboard as well as a programming with logic X. I intend to use a keyboard for the next 3 years at-least. Wanted to start with a sub 200$ board short listed the following 1) Maudio oxygen 49 m4 2) Novation lauchkey 49 m2 3) nektar impact lx+ 49 4) casio ctk 3500 Would really appreciate if you could guide as there are rarely any comparison videos and stuff like that to make some decision.
Forget the Casio. Get the Novation or the Oxygen. They offer great support, so you want to go with companies that offer great support. MIDI controllers will last you a long long while, more than 3+ years. No worries there.
hey nice video. really simple explanation which is what I needed. However, I notice that there are several midi controllers. Do you know the difference between this version and the novation impulse 49? I'm just like your video, play some synths, some bass lines, drums and my guitar to create a mix of indie pop/rock/electronic music (e.g. mix of the national and porter robinson to give you an example).
this was a nice review. I was planning on buying this keyboard, thanks for sharing your opinion on it. And I do prefer the 49 key version for the same reason as you.
Huh3. Just bought this exact controller to replace my annoying M Audio Oxygen 49. Got the Surface Controller set up and all ready to go! Really awesome piece of device. Reuben, how do you map the pads to Logic? Is there a website or tutorial on how to do that? My faders, knobs etc are all working. But I heard you said about mapping those drum pads for triggers etc. Thanks.
I just purchased this keyboard. This was a great review! I have never used a midi keyboard before only Roland V-Drums so this is a new experience for me. Question I noticed that the pads do not light up. Is this because you aren’t using Abelton?
Reuben Chng That was quick! Thanks I am not an Abelton user either. Strictly a Logic Pro user. But I believe this keyboard will help me become more expressive and will work as I grow more. Thanks again BTW I subscribed. 👍
Very cool review! I'm just getting started in producing my own EDM/pop/hip hop style music and I was told this controller would be a good start. I will be using Ableton Live most likely. What laptop do you have? And what studio speakers are those? Also have you heard of the software Massive By Native Instruments? That has tons of sound effects I wanna get into. Would that work for this as well? I really don't want to be limited, I know I am a beginner but I want access to as many diverse sounds as possible. Thanks for any advice from anyone! Subscribed.
Ian Michael Massive is a synth. An old one at that. You can't get anything organic out of it. Try u-he Diva for rich creamy analog synth sounds if your PC can handle the load. Also, check out Kontakt libraries (Native Instruments, and third parties) for tons and tons and tons of samples of just about anything you can imagine recorded in pristine detail and quality (hollywood films are scored that way!). For EDM and dance, you have bigfishaudio and other companies focused on that stuff. For trailer music, hybrid orchestral or sound design music, you have Audio Imperia, Damage, Keepforest and whatnot. Lots of things out there. Massive really pales in comparison, unless you know how to move beyond its presets and actually know how to synthesize the sound you hear in your head into massive. That's a field in itself, called sound designing. Without knowing your way around sound designing and at least subtractive synthesis, you might as well feel lost and may have already given up after 10 months, by now.
Hello thank you for your videos they are always very useful. I have a question for you and it would be super cool if you could answer me. I am an amateur in the field of electronic music, I just bought a launchkey 49 novation. I plugged it into my laptop dell e6410 with fl studio 20 demo for the moment. it lights up and the studio recognizes it in midi seting and it comes out well the sounds that I put in the pattern. my only problem is that I am forced to press very very hard on the keys of the keyboard so that the sound is loud enough to be heard, the less you hit the more the sound is weak and the more you hit the sound is strong and it's very annoying because it prevents me from playing because you have to really hard to type a sound "normal" (I have good speakers). my question; HOW TO MAKE THE SOUND ALWAYS THE SAME LEVEL TO NOT HAVE TO TAPER VERY STRONG ON THE KEYBOARD? OR MUST I SET THIS PARAMETER? I thank you in advance for your answer Tom
nop, it's a controller keyboard. It doesn't make sounds itself only with the aid of a DAW or compatible Softwares. If you want one who makes a sound itself you should go after an arranger or synth keyboard.
please my sustain on novationa launchkey 49 is not working can you help..is there a speacial settings to get it working or no??thank you in advance..cheers
Great video, I just bought it and it’s working great with Ableton, although when I use it with Logic I’m having a little latency, do you know how to correct it?
I have the launchkey 49. I love it! I like having a full size keyboard and it works great. The keybed isn't as heavy as I would like but its very playable to be under 200 bucks its well worth the value. If you like mini keys I would say just grab the mini 25 key. Great for ableton. Works as a midi on most daws I have tried but works best with ableton live in my opinion since its tailored for that daw.
@@luis.vuitton It really is. You can play and split the keyboard and you have drum pads so its perfect for beats and piano/synth/keys. The 49 is good for me for the octave range. My only regret is not getting a 77 key. The keys are great, its velocity sensitive, and the keybed is ok. I think its one of the best for the buck.
Remi Moore Wow awesome & thanks for replying so quickly lol but I'm sold I'm getting the 49 tomorrow. There's no built in speaker right? I have a MacBook anyway but I was just curious
No built in speaker it needs your computer to make the sounds. It connects via usb and I think most of them come with the lite version of ableton live so you can use it to record or make some live beats.
I have been using this keyboard for 2 years. Recently midi sound in my daw goes very little. Even sound is not heard. Then i restart my pc and it sounds perfectly but suddenly the sound falls down. I use cubase 5 on windows 10. My sound card is also ok( focusrite). Can you help me?
Newbie here. Would you recommend this or the Samson Graphite 49 to get? This would be my first keyboard purchase btw. I mainly use Mainstage 3 (no pun intended) since I play more live music than studio production, and so I'm willing to try out Ableton Live Lite as well. So far I'm leaning more towards the Launchkey, but the aftertouch in the Graphite 49 is quite tempting. Do you think aftertouch is worth to get? Or is the Launchkey better for live performance? Thanks in advance
Obviously the launchkey. Ableton is created for live performances. All the best. Just add a launchpad mini or just use the pads on the launchkey to create a live looping setup which everyone will dig. Ableton is the best live performing rig and launchkey is made to integrate perfectly with ableton and is strong and stable with no bugs and latency. Go for it
How does the key quality of this keyboard compare to the Novation Impulse keyboard? I'm not sure whether to buy this keyboard as it is cheaper, is it worth spending a bit extra for the Impulse? I am using FL Studio
hello sir. before i purchase this may i ask how is the feel of the keys? does it has premium feel to it? and if ever you tried the SL MK2, is it comparable to Launchkey MK2's keys?
Ok bro..thank you.. one last thing, i need your final opinion. I have here a seller selling his SL MKII for 1500 HKD (2nd hand) and the launchkey 49 mkII on sale for 1240 HKD. I use Mainstage 3 as my Keyboard Sound Module. if you were me, which one would be the best bang for the buck?
Again late to the party BUT< everyone praising Reuben's accent: His accent is from Maylasia / Singapore. I'm sure. I lived in Singapore 1.5 years. ENGLISH IS OFFICIAL LANGUAGE THERE M***NS... they are part of the commonwealth nations and drive on the left side of the road - right-side steering wheels. Like in England. Hence, his English gotta be great. As many Malaysians.. duh! Great review as well :-)
Hi! any help on the below issue will be a great help. I have brought Novation Lunchkey61 MK2 almost a year ago, it was working completely fine, but recently I m facing issue with Ableton. The last key i.e 61st key in launchkey is not working with Ableton, Don't know why. However, when I use this keyboard with other music software like synthesia, other than ableton it works completely fine. That means keyboard is completely fine. Have some issue with Ableton. Any help on this please. I m getting frustrated, no other info available online.
Great video! Would you recommend this 49 version or the 25 version for more electronic or hip hop music that may not require playing chords? Thanks! -Reuben
I'd spring for the 49 just for the value. The 25 would work for what you want but having the extra stuff for the price difference to me. I bought the 49 and havent complained once!
i got my launchkey49 MK2 just now and it came just with the usb cable.is that enough power to hear those keys playing music or not?imean those white and black buttons to compose music.my one doesnt give any sounds
sounds like you've mistaken to what a MIDI controller is. It's not a music keyboard that produces sounds. It's a 'controller' that sends in MIDI data to your computer, and controls your composition software.
He's accent is actually Really pleasurable.
I feel like I can understand Malaysian.
Thanks for this video brother
:)
Well, I may be wrong, but I think he is from Singapore (just next to Malaysia :> ), would I be right on to assuming so ?
I'm Australian and have some Singaporean friends that have the same accent
HIS
Cool. Finally, someone that attempts (and succeeds) at making music instead of noise, when explaining the basics. Thanks.
Cannot agree more on this comment.
Well explained! And your accent is really nice to hear
singapore accent i think
Nice demo...I just purchased this and really like its flexibility and ease of use.
Your review is always awesome. You go direct to what people need to see when deciding prior to a purchase. I’m in search of a new MIDI controller to replace my sickening M Audio Oxygen 49 Blue which keep doing phantom pitch bends, out of tune nonsense. Thanks for this review help me a lot in narrowing my choice.
Such a helpful video. I realise this is an older product, but I wanted to congratulate you on your video.
This was so informative. Really cleared a lot of things I had in my mind. Great work!
That's a beautiful tune. Especially when the strings came in....
Came across this video while checking for looper, good review and thank you for sharing....I like the short music which makes easier to understand the device. Would love to see more of those music, very soothing. Thanks again Cheers!
Awesome review man. Simple, straight to the point. I love it and I can't wait for mine to come in the mail.
I ordered it just now, thanks for the review! I am pretty excited!
Well, having said that, I am now having issues with shipment being clearance delayed... I am done for lol...
I wish I could understand him better.He still explains things well though.I bought a launchkey 49 too, and I like it.
I play the piano and i'm looking for learning how to create music, I didn't know where to start to choose the midi keyboard i wanted, i think you definitely convinced me !
Really helped.... Watched a review saying u can't use the drum pads on Logic Pro x . But now I know that I can. Great review
Great video man. You have really great english as well. Lol You have a good lecturing accent. Thanks a lot.
Dee Abercrombie thanks! Much more to improve. ;)
Cool video. Just bought the 49 key and I think I made the right choice. Thanks!

I recently bought one, nice review. (I wonder what a complicated looking box would look like)
Bro...how can play Indian tones....Can I play this in Church

I’m sold. Well explained. I will get Launchkey49 because of this vid. Thanks.

Ordered one today, 49 key. I will use it with Logic Pro too. Hope to hear new videos on this keyboard controller soon.
Thanks man,
I have the AKAI MPK mini mk2 and am thinking of upgrading to one of these for additional board range and great compatibility / ease of use with other music kit
which one are thinking to buy?
Hi bro, great review and video, can i ask which studio monitors do you have?
the best review exploring all the options available.....I hav a question, I was looking forward to buy it chruch purposes, and for private use as well. So is it necessary to plugin to a PC or an Ipad everytime....or will it b able to produce basic Piano sounds on its own???
Yes its necessary to plug it into an iPad or PC. The MIDI controller is merely a controller. It controls your DAW
Reuben Chng ....thnx bro....for replying
Your voice is so easy to listen to! And then I read the comments saying the same thing and I'm like "Good, so I'm not alone" 😭 Great video!
I just love your lessons..and i also bought novation launchkey 49 ...i just loved it..❤️❤️ its awesome keyboard
Thanks Mr. Reuben for your great review. In your opinion, which one is better for beginner.The Novation MK2 49 or Nektar LX49+ midi controller?
Go for the Novation MK2. Start simple and work on your skills.
Great Video! I'm just starting out with Midi and Daw and was wondering if this keyboard is sufficient enough for my needs as a new user? I've noticed that Novation have brought out the SL Mk3 which is tempting, but what will I really gain from spending an extra 300 pounds on the Mk3? Thanks. 👍
got the launchkey mini and lauchkey 49 mk 2 love them both, great video
Dude! Music, Amazing really awesome, the melodys were all there keep striving beautiful

A very informative review (he sold me!) by a wonderful person. Someone who'd make a good friend.

Awesome ! Please make more tutorials on Novation Launchkey.
Very nice summary. I was hoping to learn how to CHANGE THE PITCH BEND from a whole step to an octave...Is that possible?
Awesome thank you for the review &
your time ! Cheers .
Ace review dude! Thanks for finally bringing my 6-month-long search for a new MIDI keyboard to an end ;L Subbed!
I also buy novation launchkey 49 after see your video.
Perfect this was the exact review I was looking for I know what I'm buying thank you.

Bought this keyboard today.
brother is it recomendet to learn to play with 49 keys keyboard...
Or i need a 61 keys keyboard....waiting for your answer
hi Reuben! cool video ! thanks for the review 🙏🏼
what's the name of the song you play in the video?
Hello
thank you for your videos they are always very useful.
I have a question for you and it would be super cool if you could answer me.
I am an amateur in the field of electronic music, I just bought a launchkey 49 novation.
I plugged it into my laptop dell e6410 with fl studio 20 demo for the moment.
it lights up and the studio recognizes it in midi seting and it comes out well the sounds that I put in the pattern.
my only problem is that I am forced to press very very hard on the keys of the keyboard so that the sound is loud enough to be heard, the less you hit the more the sound is weak and the more you hit the sound is strong and it's very annoying because it prevents me from playing because you have to really hard to type a sound "normal" (I have good speakers).
my question;
HOW TO MAKE THE SOUND ALWAYS THE SAME LEVEL TO NOT HAVE TO TAPER VERY STRONG ON THE KEYBOARD?
OR MUST I SET THIS PARAMETER?
I thank you in advance for your answer
Tom
Very very nice!
Thanks for your effort and sharing this.
But i am still in doubt whether to buy this one or the arturia keylab.
Captain Caveman i think arturia comes with better sound/effects library software (arturia analogue)
Thank you for your advise Heba Hamdi.
Captain Caveman ur welcome
You're pretty cool. The little tune is still stuck in my short term memory.
Very professional and educational review. Good job!
Thanks mate!
I have a 61 key and love Everything about it
Thevampireminer odd flex but ok😂
how's key sensitivity?
Nice video. I am now shopping for a 49/61 keys midi-controller. How does this compare with the M-Audio Oxygen 49 in terms of the key touch. Thank you.
Does this midi come with sounds or are they all on the DAW? This could possibly be a silly question thank u for the video 🍻
nop, it's a controller keyboard. It doesn't make sounds itself only with the aid of a DAW or compatible Softwares. If you want one who makes a sound itself you should go after an arranger or synth keyboard.
@@kaykz885 Thanks a lot!
Nice. Think I'm getting the 49 key. I use Studio One and assume that the protocol for mapping it isn't much more than what you've shown. Am I correct?
please my sustain on novationa launchkey 49 is not working can you help..is there a speacial settings to get it working or no??thank you in advance..cheers
Terrific review and video. Thanks!
ur a man with grace ,,awesome,,god bless u brother
Hello, can you show me detail in sustain port please? How did you connect it into your DAW?
Thanks for the awesome review and demo!

This dude is so informative, can actually play and is handsome, subbed. btw what vst you used for strings?

I was so confused before watched your this video and now I got it what is the novation launchkey after watching this video ....you are the best Thanks
krishna,s wish glad it has helped you. Cheers
I'M going to buy novation launchkey 61 and cubase elements 9 too
Wich one is better: novation launchkey mkII or M audio Oxygen version 4? Is there really a difference between them? Thanks
hello sir. before i purchase this may i ask how is the feel of the keys? does it has premium feel to it? and if ever you tried the SL MK2, is it comparable to Launchkey MK2's keys?
SL MK2 has better keys compared to the LaunchKey. But for me the LaunchKey works good enough.
Ok bro..thank you.. one last thing, i need your final opinion.
I have here a seller selling his SL MKII for 1500 HKD (2nd hand) and the launchkey 49 mkII on sale for 1240 HKD. I use Mainstage 3 as my Keyboard Sound Module. if you were me, which one would be the best bang for the buck?
Sassy Thirdy check the condition of the sl mk2 . Negotiate down to 1400hkd. Buy it, go home happy.
Badly taken care condition? Get the launchkey
thanks again bro.. i do live gigs everynight, and it would mean carrying the keys to work and back home.. a couple of bus and train rides.
Thanks for the review bro this helps a lot 🔥🔥💫
Awesome video! I watch it everyday I’m not even joking😁

Hi! any help on the below issue will be a great help.
I have brought Novation Lunchkey61 MK2 almost a year ago, it was working completely fine, but recently I m facing issue with Ableton.
The last key i.e 61st key in launchkey is not working with Ableton, Don't know why.
However, when I use this keyboard with other music software like synthesia, other than ableton it works completely fine. That means keyboard is completely fine. Have some issue with Ableton.
Any help on this please. I m getting frustrated, no other info available online.
Great video man!
you are really a nice player and person too
can you help me how to set up about the in put and out because i didn't understand about that . what suppose to be input and out put please .
Loved all the info. Thank you.
;)
Would this piano work for perfoming live without a computer and if no how much does the computer do/
I picked up the 61 MK-2 for a good price. Running with Ableton and FLSTUDIO.
hey bro... i have the 49 keys but so far i am not able to make it to work properly with fl.... newbie here...
excellent video.
Awesome video! Thanks Reuben :)
Best review keep going man
I wonder if this still a low budget good idea to buy
Yes it is. I still use one till today
@@reubenchng I’m glad you said that because I just bought mine 😂 thanks so much for your review man and good luck with your projects ❤️
nice Review man, TKS for share!
I would like my kid to learn this. What kind of lesson do you recommend? Organ or piano?
Start with piano lessons first.
Great video! Would you recommend this 49 version or the 25 version for more electronic or hip hop music that may not require playing chords? Thanks!

I'd spring for the 49 just for the value. The 25 would work for what you want but having the extra stuff for the price difference to me. I bought the 49 and havent complained once!
Any software recommendations for windows? I just ordered this and I'm very new! Thanks!
Lmk if u find any
How's the quality of the nobs/sliders/pads? Some controllers I looked at had issues in this department.
Well explained . Thanks.
Great presentation
i got my launchkey49 MK2 just now and it came just with the usb cable.is that enough power to hear those keys playing music or not?imean those white and black buttons to compose music.my one doesnt give any sounds
sounds like you've mistaken to what a MIDI controller is. It's not a music keyboard that produces sounds.
It's a 'controller' that sends in MIDI data to your computer, and controls your composition software.
Great review. Thank you.
the ableton live lite which comes with the launchkey is the version which is only for 30 days?
