Studio Pro doesn't ship a script for the Novation Launchkey MK4, so I made one. It's free and open source (MIT):
github.com
What it does:
- Transport buttons with their Shift functions (play from loop start, return to zero, autopunch, precount, redo...). The LEDs follow Studio Pro.
- Faders 1-8 and master on the Remote Bank. The buttons under the faders select or arm tracks and light up in the track colours. Shift + Track < > pages through the channels.
- Encoders in all of the Launchkey's DAW modes: Control Link for the focused plugin, mixer volume/pan, sends, and a transport mode (position, zoom, loop, markers, tracks, arranger sections, tempo).
- Pads: clip launcher (2 lanes x 8 scenes, or 16 scenes) or a Mute/Solo page.
- Screen: selected track, parameter names and values, and which channels are on the faders after paging the bank. The Launchkey's own font is ASCII-only, so track names in Cyrillic are drawn by the script.
- The keys and the drum pads keep working as a normal MIDI keyboard.
Install: copy one folder into Studio Pro's "User Devices" folder, restart and add Novation > Launchkey MK4 DAW on the keyboard's DAW ports. Step-by-step instructions and the full control map are in the README.
Tested with Studio Pro 8.1.2 on Windows 11 and a Launchkey 49 MK4. The 25/37/61 use the same protocol and should work too, but I couldn't test them, nor macOS or Studio One 6/7. If you try it, I'd love to hear how it goes - bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub.
