Novation SL MKIII is the centrepiece that can be used to control your whole studio, working perfectly alongside your DAW. Make working with your hardware easy and creatively rewarding, and construct your next production in the 8 track polyphonic sequencer, with everything staying in sync. Bring MIDI hardware and CV/gate synths together by plugging them all into SL MKIII, taking total control directly from the internal eight-track polyphonic pattern-based sequencer. If you use a DAW and crave integrating your favourite hardware, you can have the best of both worlds.

Make controlling your software easy by recording productions from a studio centrepiece. Novation has worked with Ableton to create an absolutely stunning keyboard controller for their live music-making software. The five-colour LCD screens give full parameter feedback, enabling the user to see everything they are controlling. Real-time record or input notes per step. Play and edit your sequences directly from the keyboard. Record your movements as automation into the sequencer, bringing life to your production.

Whether you're in the box or outside the box, the midi and analogue clock and transport controls keep everything running in time. Choose an ARP type, set a sync rate, tweak the length, and then use the pads to design your rhythms in real-time. Highly customizable mappings for hardware and software easily control everything. Create your own templates in the software editor, and save them to the keyboard. Work with scales and keys and set up multiple zones and layers on the keyboard, and see everything instantly with vibrant on-key RGB LED feedback.
