Mr Peter McKenna1st Sep 2022

I'm extremely fussy about midi controller key beds. I don't like fully weighted - too heavy and not nimble/ reactive for my purposes. I am a fan of semi-weighted keys BUT they need to feel balanced and quasi-fully weighted. the kerbed on the Novation Lauchkey 88 is impressive! Perfect for my purposes - top quality, beautifully balanced. keybed aside, the control aspects of the unit is rich and extensive .. but not too complex. My only criticisms are: (a) lack of keybed aftertouch (b) lack of independent power supply rather than having to depend on the one and only USB input. this creates complications in the more sophisticated connections options.
