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 centrepiece 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.
Total
control
Get to work
with your favourite 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 customisable 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 our 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
We’ve
worked with Ableton® to create an unprecedented integration with Live™. SL
MkIII truly pulls your sessions out of the box. The full colour 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.
