It looks like Sonicstate jumped the gun. This showed up in my RSS feed this morning. It is a blank page now.

Edit: Seems they just launched.
From the cached link. The YT plays, at least for now.
The pads have poly-aftertouch, the keys don’t.

Ooh looks like a nice upgrade to the line. Wonder if they’ve got weighted/semi weighted keys this time?
Exciting updates! LK37 (along with LPPmk3) is my most-used piece of gear. Fingers crosssed that the mini versions have all of the features of the full size versions this time, aside from the faders.

Not too psyched about semi-weighted keys, I prefer synth action. Also encoders, while good for daw control, provide no feel while jamming. I like step sequencing Ableton though, of this works well I might get very interested in this combo. I hope it won’t depend on software for additional functionality like NI controllers.

I wonder if they’ll update the SL?

besides the difference in keys - did anyone see if the minis were limited in other ways?
It is really starting to seem as though their flagship controller is abandoned.

I wonder if the synth action keys will still be the same one-piece plastic assembly? I need a small controller but won’t buy anything with those these days.
Novation Circuit update! Bring on the Circuit Pro!

Wasn’t able to see the video before it went private, does the line still feature usb B, or did they switch to usb C?
The video had some light detail but was more just to build some excitement for the six new products.

I’m actually interested in the Mini 37.
I just sold my NI Komplete 32 and was eyeing a Launchkey 37 although I didn’t like the cheap buttons & size.
This is right up my alley.
Wish they added bluetooth to them as well. I have a very cheap amazon kb with BT and love it.
or at least USB-C

Oh, I thought that was posted already. That’s how I actually found out 
I’m surprised nothing else popped up 
Novation is giving a presentation involving the LaunchKey at Knobcon ( in the Chicago area ) on September 7th.
That the topic has to do with chord progressions, melodies, and harmonies, with both a DAW and a hardware synth may be significant.

About time for a Knobcon 2024 thread, no?
Another year, another idle wish I was attending…
