Internal souncard should be enough. My roommate also has a 2 octave novation launchpad and ableton live & does good with use of HiFi speakers for his setup and releases stuff on SoundCloud once a while.


Edit : I recorded this song on his setup. He has an app that is specific for piano(forgot the name), which was used for the piano.
