Novation 49SL MKIII

SL MkIII is much more than just an ordinary keyboard controller. It is a comprehensive control center for all your music equipment. It is the heart of your entire system for networking, control and creativity. With computer or without. Grab your favorite hardware and discover the benefits of a DAW with haptic control that can keep your computer screen turned off for a change. Combine your DAW directly with your hardware synths - everything is connected via your SL MkIII. Control everything effortlessly with customizable mappings for your hardware and software or use the software editor to create your own mappings. Enter notes individually or record your ideas as you play. You can play and edit your sequences directly from the keyboard. Then you can record the parameter automation directly on the sequencer and bring your productions to life. You can select the arpeggio type, set the sync rate, adjust the tone duration and pattern length, and use the pads to record rhythms in real time. SL MkIII is equipped with the best and most play-friendly semi-weighted keyboard in synth style including suspension in our offer. All features are specially designed for experienced musicians. You can also assign Aftertouch as you like. The exceptionally high sampling rate of 10 kHz guarantees a super-dynamic key feel for expressive performances. You can also instantly see scales, modes, and ranges through the visual feedback of the RGB LEDs on the buttons. The SL MkIII's velocity-sensitive RGB pads also have a number of functions - you can fire clips, trigger steps in the sequencer, play drums with your fingers, and use the polyphonic aftertouch. Together with Ableton®, an integration with Live™ was developed that has never existed before. With SL MkIII your sessions really get started. The full-colour LCD screens give you a complete overview of your parameters, while the pads, buttons, eight faders, and eight knobs ensure that you have your music - and any other music software via InControl - fully under control.
