According to our MIDI keyboard expert
The Novation Launchkey 37 MK3 is a compact MIDI electric piano that you can easily take with you to the studio or gigs. You can put a lot of emotion into your playing thanks to the 37 full-size, touch-sensitive keys. This means that the electric piano distinguishes hard from soft keystrokes and your playing gets more dynamic. The MIDI electric piano is specially designed to produce with Ableton Live. This allows you to get started right away after installing the included Ableton Lite version. You can control all Ableton functions with the buttons, drum pads, and faders, so you don't need your mouse often. The scale, chords, and arpeggio functions help you create and compose harmonies, chord progressions, and melodies. This allows you to develop musical ideas, even if you have little theoretical knowledge of music.

It is a nice comprehensive device and works very well. I'm just sorry that not everything works completely with FL Studio (Fruity Loops). And there is no manual with detailed explanation. For the rest he is really recommended.

Satisfaction depends on what requirements are your starting point. I write a lot of sheet music. Input in composition software was too time consuming with mouse and ordinary computer keyboard. So I was looking for a keyboard for notes like you have one for letters, for writing. Not immediately for music production, so rather atypical. I didn't expect more for that price. I started my MuseScore program and after half an hour I could write music AND try out ideas with the sound of an expensive Yamaha grand piano. And under Linux :-) . It is therefore not the case that you can only do something with it under Windows or Apple. The touch is of course not that of a real piano, and I wouldn't recommend playing along live. It says 'Made to create' on the box, and that says it. Not so much 'made to perform'. My star rating/plus/minus are just an approximation, it's too early. Something I still wish to improve/explore is expanding the configuration of the control signals for the software. I won't say anything about the interaction with Ableton or any other DAW, because that's not my dada at the moment. Conclusion: satisfied, I can work faster and get to work immediately.
