Music making can be frustrating when your creativity is hampered by technology. Novation's MIDI controllers, such as Launchkey and Launchpad, along with MIDI keys and synthesizers, simplify software control and don't require tedious setup.

It increases the risk of connector damage and tripping, worsens orientation in the wiring, and can cause technical complications during live performance or recording, such as signal drops or unwanted noise.
