16 Launchpad-style pads

16 Launchpad-style pads

For finger-drummers, Launchkey Mini 25 features our patented, velocity-sensitive FSR pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Each pad uses a unique radial sensor for greater sensitivity and consistency, delivering tighter, more expressive performances. They can also be set to trigger chords or individual notes with polyphonic aftertouch.
25 synth-style mini-keys

25 synth-style mini-keys

The 25-note synth-style mini keybed is designed to feel natural and responsive. With a precise, velocity-sensitive action, these mini keys let you play with dynamics and nuance — whether you're tapping out a melody, building chords, or shaping a bassline. It's a compact setup that doesn’t compromise on feel.

Eight endless encoders

Eight endless encoders give you flexible, hands-on control with modes for plugins, mixer, sends, and transport — so you can shape sounds, balance tracks, and navigate your session with ease. Four custom encoder modes let you map controls to suit your setup, making your workflow seamless.

Seamless DAW integration

Stay focused with hands-on DAW control. Instantly switch between plugin, mixer, sends, and transport modes to keep sessions moving. In Ableton Live, access built-in Sequencer, Drum Rack, and Clip modes, so you can build and launch ideas without reaching for the mouse.

Creativity that travels with you.

Launchkey Mini 25 is made for music makers who want their creative tools with them at all times. Compact and powerful, it lets you produce, perform, and shape ideas wherever you are — so when inspiration hits, you're ready to turn it into music.
