The Novation 61SL MkIII is far from your typical keyboard controller. It’s an all-sequencing, all-dancing hub for all of your music making tools. The 61SL MkIII 61-Key Controller with Sequencer is a centerpiece to connect, control and create with your entire setup. Build your tracks in the eight-track polyphonic sequencer: everything in time; everything in key; every control at your fingertips.
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 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.
Synth-Style Semi-Weighted Keybed
The SL MkIII features a 61-note synth-style semi-weighted keybed. Its exceptionally high scan rate of 10 kHz gives the keys a super dynamic feel for expressive performances. 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.
Customizable Templates
Highly customizable mappings for hardware and software easily control everything. Or create your own templates in the software editor, and save them to the keyboard.
Control All Major Music Software
Your choice of music software is crucial to your creativity. SL MkIII's pads, buttons, eight faders and eight knobs take control of all major music software using InControl or any HUI-compatible DAW.
Components
Components allows you to backup and restore your templates and sessions in the cloud, enabling access from anywhere in the world. All content can also be saved locally.
Backlit Pitch and Modulation Wheels
Pitch and Modulation wheels have RGB LEDs that change color to show what track you're working on.
One Routable Clock for the Whole System
Whether you're in the box or outside the box, the MIDI and analogue clock and transport controls keep everything running in time.
Selectable Velocity Curves
Choose from a comprehensive selection of Velocity Curves to suit your playing style.
