October 2025 Update Release

Introducing Novation Play, the ultimate software synth for Launchkey MK4! Free download for Launchkey MK4 users!

Novation Play transforms the Launchkey MK4 into a super fun synthesizer!


This new virtual instrument, developed in collaboration with Klevgrand, features over 80 professional presets sampled from legendary machines such as Novation, Sequential, and Oberheim.

You can intuitively connect a wide variety of sounds, including bass, leads, pads, and drum kits, to the Launchkey MK4's controls, so you can start playing and creating right away.


This software was designed from the ground up specifically for the Launchkey MK4, and its seamless integration with the hardware enables a workflow that lets you immerse yourself in playing without looking at the screen.

The eight encoders are automatically mapped to the optimal parameters for each sound, and the color pads can be used to play drums and percussion as well as instantly control four types of Pad FX.

You can also quickly switch between presets using the encoder bank up and down buttons.


Novation Play is available as both a standalone application and a VST/AU plug-in.

Launchkey MK4 owners can download it now from My Software in their customer account!
