Novation, a renowned British music equipment manufacturer known for its synthesizers, MIDI controllers, and audio interfaces. Founded in 1992, Novation gained early recognition with the release of the Bass Station synthesizer, which offered a versatile analogue mono synth experience. Over the years, Novation has continued to innovate, producing popular instruments such as the Supernova series, which became staples of electronic music production in the late 1990s and early 2000s due to their lush, polyphonic sound and powerful modulation capabilities.

Today, Novation is particularly well-known for its Launchpad series of grid-based controllers, which revolutionized live electronic music performance and production workflows by offering a hands-on interface for triggering clips and samples in software like Ableton Live. The company’s Launchkey MIDI keyboards and Circuit groove-boxes also provide versatile tools for musicians and producers, combining deep integration with DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) and standalone capabilities for on-the-go creativity. Novation’s commitment to user-friendly design, affordability, and innovation has cemented its place as a key player in the electronic music world.

The Launchkey is a series of MIDI controller keyboards developed by Novation, aimed at enhancing music production and live performance. Designed to integrate seamlessly with major DAWs like Ableton Live, the series offers various sizes ranging from 25 to 88 keys.

In addition, the Launchkey includes a range of assignable knobs, faders, and transport controls, providing tactile access to critical parameters within the DAW.

One standout feature is the integrated arpeggiator, which offers versatile rhythmic patterns, along with a Scale Mode that locks the keys to a chosen scale, simplifying the process of playing in key. Launchkeys are particularly known for their user-friendly layout and portability, making them a favourite among musicians, producers, and live performers. Whether in a studio or on stage, the Launchkey series delivers a flexible and powerful solution for MIDI control.

Mini

it isn’t how big it is but what you do with it.

Buying a mini synth or a compact piece of electronic musical equipment can offer several benefits, depending on a musician’s or producer’s needs. One key reason is *portability*—mini synths are lightweight and easy to carry, making them ideal for musicians on the go, those with limited studio space, or performers needing compact gear for live shows. Despite their size, many mini synths are equipped with versatile sound engines, allowing users to create professional-quality sounds without requiring a full-sized instrument.

Another reason is *affordability*. Mini synths and small electronic gear often come at a lower price point compared to full-sized counterparts, making them accessible to beginners, hobbyists, or anyone exploring new sounds without a large financial investment. Additionally, these compact devices can offer unique sonic capabilities, quirky features, and hands-on control, which can spark creativity and lead to distinctive sound design. For producers and musicians who want to experiment, add new flavours to their setup, or complement existing gear, a mini synth can be a valuable and inspiring addition.
