Overview

Unleash total DAW command with this versatile MIDI controller.

The Novation 61SL MKIII keyboard controller empowers electronic musicians and producers with an unprecedented level of creative expression. This powerful centerpiece combines an expansive 61-key semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch, eight 360-degree touch-sensitive knobs, nine long-throw faders and 16 RGB backlit pads—all in a lightweight yet road-tough design. Deep integration with DAWs like Ableton Live provides a seamless workflow for writing, recording and performing your music, and the included carry bag keeps your keyboard protected.

Precise Parameter Control at Your Fingertips

With the 61SL MKIII's eight 360-degree touch-sensitive knobs, you have a new level of creative control over effects, instruments and more. The LED rings surrounding each knob display the current parameter value and position in the effect's range. You can tap a knob to reset it to the default setting or double tap to jump to a predefined sweet spot. Swipe across the knobs or twist them to make precise adjustments in real time without ever touching your mouse.

Mix and Automate With Buttery Smooth Faders

Mixing and automation become a truly hands-on experience thanks to the 61SL MKIII's nine long-throw faders. With 10-bit resolution, these premium faders allow for ultrasmooth level control over channels, sends and other continuous parameters in your DAW. Seamlessly ride levels during recording, tweak mixes with your hands and record dynamic automation movements—all without disrupting your creative flow.

Tap Into Rhythmic Expression With RGB Pads

Beat production, clip launching and phrase building become natural extensions of your playing with the 61SL MKIII's bank of 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads. The full-color backlighting provides clear visual feedback, while the semi-weighted action strikes the perfect balance between sensitivity and playability. Whether programming intricate grooves or firing off clips in live performances, these pads let you exercise your rhythmic creativity with ease.

Seamless Software Integration for Fluid Workflow

With deep integration across popular music software like Ableton Live, the 61SL MKIII acts as a powerful command center for your virtual studio. Control every facet of your sessions by mapping the faders, knobs and pads to your favorite plug-ins and parameters. The controller communicates seamlessly over USB for tight integration with your computer-based setup. Whether crafting beats, arranging tracks or tweaking mixes, the 61SL MKIII keeps your hands on the hardware while your mind stays in the creative zone.

For producers who crave a more tactile, expressive way of making music, the Novation 61SL MKIII is a studio game changer.
