Novation61SL MkIII Keyboard MIDI Controller

Novation 61SL MkIII

The Novation 61SL MkIII represents the best of all worlds in a MIDI controller. Its durable semi-weighted keyboard and Pitch/Mod wheels will make a keyboardist feel right at home, while a powerful eight-track step sequencer, velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch, assignable fader and knob banks, and easy-to-read OLED screens offer the flexibility demanded by today's parameter control freaks.

Though Ableton Live integration is a great strength of the SL series, Novation's signature InControl software allows it to be easily mapped for easy use with any major DAW, and user-designed templates accessible locally or from the cloud make preset recall a breeze.

The 61SL MkIII also boasts extensive 5-pin MIDI control and two channels of analog CV, Gate, and Mod along with an analog clock, allowing it to effectively control just about any studio hardware alongside a DAW, or without it. For musicians and engineers who still haven't found the "glue" to tie their studio gear together, the 61SL MkIII might be just the ticket.
