Novation has unveiled a series of new products in time for this year’s Superbooth, which is currently being hosted in Berlin. The new offerings include the Launch Control XL 3 MIDI control surface, two white Launchkey MK4 keyboard controllers – in 49-key and 37-minikey formats – and a limited-edition Bass Station II designed in partnership with famed British graphic designer Ian “Swifty” Swift.
Launch Control XL 3
Building on Novation’s popular series of DAW controllers, the Launch Control XL 3 offers “hands-on performance, production and mixing workflows” with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase and more via eight faders, 24 endless encoders and 16 programmable buttons, each with dedicated transport controls.
Theres also a new built-in OLED display to keep the parameters front and centre while users are engaging with their chosen DAW in real-time.
Launchkey MK4
The Launchkey MK4 White is the same product as it was upon its widely-lauded release in 2024, except in a sleek new white and grey colour scheme for both the 49-key and 37-minikey versions. Users can expect all the same software additions, such as instruments and effects from Klevgrand, GForce, Orchestral Tools, Native Instruments, and Ableton Live Lite. Cubase LE is a recent addition as well.
Bass Station II Swifty Edition
And finally, the Bass Station II Swifty Edition is another aesthetic variation on a standard Novation product. Ian “Swifty” Swift has designed visuals for notable record labels like Mo’ Wax and Talkin’ Loud as well as The Face magazine. On top of this new look, the paraphonic analogue synth includes new patches from prominent artists like Legowelt, Pecq, and Maria Chiara Argirò.
Pricing and availability
In terms of pricing, the Launch Control XL 3 clocks in at £189.99, the 49-key and 37-minikey Launchkey MK4s in white are priced at £229.99 and £139.99, respectively, and the Bass Station II Swifty Edition comes in at £449.99. You can learn more and order over at Novation’s website.
