Best value:
Excellent
Super lightweight, super small, USB powered, 16 pads lit (in color!) And 25 buttons, 8 knobs ... do not expect to find an LCD screen, a modulation wheel or I / O audio and MIDI madness you will not find! There is only the bare minimum for this Launchkey mini is an extension of your keyboard and mouse under your favorite DAW.
To put a note that makes sense, we must take into account the price: under the 100th, it was worth the money, but no more.
UTILIZATION
One branch, it works! I only used the Launchkey that in Ableton Live, and the integration is-fect! The "arrow" buttons to walk among the scenes very efficiently and tracks. The pads are used to find some reflexes from Launchpad: 2 shortcuts to start or stop the entire scene. The pads are so very good and it is very pleasant to work with. A "InControl" button ensures the automatic mapping between all buttons and utilities Ableton Live. Automap I miss a bit, and that's the only reason I do not put a perfect score of 10/10. Basic mappings are effective, but we quickly want to change them, so manually.
I almost "perfect."
OVERALL OPINION
There are less than one hundredth of a condensed knowledge Novation in "Utilities" to control Ableton Live. Good touches, good knobs, (very?) Good pads, and impeccable efficiency. With its weight and compactness, I never hesitate to take with me in my Launchkey short trips, warm with the laptop.
Too bad for abandoning the Automap, and damage to the I / O MIDI absence.
