Description

Let’s Connect

SL MkIII is far from your typical keyboard controller. It’s an all-sequencing, all-dancing hub for all of your music-making tools. A centerpiece to connect, control and create with your entire setup. Computer or not.

Create quickly and easily with your hardware. Build your tracks in the eight-track polyphonic sequencer: everything in time; everything in key; every control at your fingertips.

Available in 49 and 61 key versions.

Total control

Get to work with your favorite hardware with all the benefits of a DAW at your fingertips; no need to look at a computer screen. Pull your DAW out of the box and combine it with your hardware synths – connecting everything through SL MkIII. Then easily control everything with highly customizable mappings for your hardware and software. Or create your own in the software editor.

Internal eight-track pattern-based sequencer

Input notes step-by-step, or record as you go; you can play and edit your sequences directly from the keyboard. Then record parameter automation straight onto the sequencer, bringing your productions to life. You can choose an arp type, set a sync rate, tweak note and pattern lengths, and use the pads to design your rhythms in real-time.

It’s the feel

SL MkIII boasts Novation’s finest and most playable synth-style semi-weighted keybed, with a sprung action tuned to the needs of the experienced player. It’s got aftertouch too, assignable to anything. Its exceptionally high scan rate of 10 kHz gives the keys a super dynamic feel for expressive performances. And you can see scales, modes, and zones instantly with vibrant on-key RGB LED feedback.

SL MkIII’s velocity-sensitive RGB pads have multiple functions too: they can be used for launching clips, as steps in the sequencer, for finger drumming, and have polyphonic aftertouch.

Keys for Live

Novation has worked with Ableton to create an unprecedented integration with Live. SL MkIII truly pulls your sessions out of the box. The full-color LCD screens give you full visibility of your parameters, while the pads, buttons, eight faders, and eight knobs get you hands-on with your music – and in any major music software, using InControl.

Keys to the DAWs

Deep integrations with Logic® and Reason – plus HUI compatibility with Cubase, Pro Tools®, Studio One, and Reaper – mean SL MkIII can open up any DAW.
