If you have any other questions about the Launchkey 37 then please do contact Novation directly as I see that you have asked a few different questions here but separately on Amazon. Best regards, Jay Lilley // Focusrite Novation Technical Support Engineer **Q: Can this be used independently with no laptop? Asking for my nephew who is a total beginner and needs something he can use independently.** A: You have to keep in mind this needs to be plugged in with a DAW to control sounds. The MK3 Mini comes with free versions of Ableton and ProTools, I highly recommend Ableton. It also comes with some free instruments, like the Lounge Lizard keyboard plugin. It has a set up guide built in on its website. Your nephew will have to do some research on DAW's and MIDI before he can get started. Luckily there are plenty of beginner videos on YouTube. **Q: Does this controller come with abelton live, or do you have to buy abelton live separatly to use it?** A: Hello, Yes, this will come with Ableton Live 10 Lite that can be used with your Launchkey 49. Best regards, Anthony // Novation Support **Q: Does it come with a usb cable? And is it compatible with ableton live 10** A: Yes, it comes with an USB cable, mine was orange, but I seen some boxes that come with a black USB cable. And yes, it works great with Ableton Live 10, 11, etc. As a matter of fact I believe it's designed for working with Ableton, even though I have used it with FL Studio 20 too... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ アルペジエーターがあると役立つ *by 一***て on February 6, 2022* Studio Oneで半年ほど使用しています。全てのノブとフェーダーを使用するには細かい設定が必要ですが、pad部分は特段設定しなくても使用できました。1つの鍵盤を押すだけで和音を鳴らすコード機能や、arp（アルペジエーター）機能が備わっており、直感的な作曲に役立ちます。VST側にarpが機能があるものが多いですが、やはり物理ボタンで直感的に操作できるのは、ひらめきが生まれて良いです。キーボードの打鍵感は軽めで黒鍵は少しサラサラしているマット使用で、ピッチベンドやモジュレーションホイールはしっかりとした作りをしています。トランスポートが簡単にでき、かつ操作した内容が左上のモニタに表示されるのがやはり便利です。PADで直感的に操作ができ、アルペジエーター機能が欲しい、コード機能も欲しい、安価で格好いいものを！ という方にお勧めです。 ## Frequently Bought Together - Novation Launchkey 61 [MK3] MIDI Keyboard Controller — Seamless Ableton Live Integration.
