Novation SL-MKII 61-Key USB/MIDI Controller

SL MkII is the advanced range of USB/MIDI controllers from Novation. They have been designed to give you complete control over your music making software. We have worked with each of the main DAWs to make sure each of the 56 knobs, faders and buttons control the things in your software that you need them to control including directly access to your plug-in instruments and FX (you also get an Italian made, semi-weighted keyboard mechanism)

SPECIFICATIONS

Physical controls
– Assignable controls:

•     8 Encoders (Infinite Rotation) with touch-sensitivity and 11 segment Led rings
•     8 Pots (270 Rotation) with touch-sensitivity
•     8 Sliders with touch-sensitivity

System buttons:

General Automap Operation Buttons (Learn, View, Browser Groups etc.) Octave up/down buttons with LED indicator

The central system buttons from the SL have been simplified; there is now:

• 1 Automap button with LED to toggle Automap mode on and off (this replaces the PLAY button) – this way, manual MIDI mode is separate from Automap mode and can be avoided completely if preferred
• Template and Edit modes have been combined into one edit mode, for editing both individual controls and overall settings within one Template
