NOVATION REMOTE-61-LE USB MIDI CONTROLLER 61 KEYS The ReMOTE LE is Novation’s most compact keyboard to date but still offers a wealth of MIDI controlling capability. Not only does it feature the X/Y Touchpad and combined pitch/mod joystick, which can both be programmed any way the user desires, but also boasts 9 knobs and 9 buttons, with a Group A/B switch effectively doubling that amount. 6 further buttons, labelled for Transport control, are also on offer. All of the controls have been pre-programmed in 12 onboard Templates for popular software applications and instruments, so that the LE will control plug-ins with style straight out of the box. Many of these Templates have plastic overlays for even simpler parameter identification, but the LE’s 32 character LCD screen already makes control display clear and simple. Many more Templates will become available on this website so check the Downloads and Product Updates pages for regular additions. This quality keyboard comes in three sizes to suit your needs: 25-, 49- and 61-key. Apart from the number of keys, there are no differences between any of the three LE keyboards so it’s simply a matter of range preference. Once purchased, all that’s required is to plug the LE in and controlling can start straight away. The unit is class compliant so there’s no need to carry out arduous driver installation processes, just plug and play. True music creation with the minimum of fuss!

Affordable 2 / 4 octave MIDI Controller featuring Automap Universal technology The ReMOTE SL COMPACT MIDI controller is the first keyboard to provide an affordable route to automatic, instant and intelligent control of all major sequencers and all automatable plug-ins. The SL COMPACT’s giant 144-character screen displays up to eight assigned parameters at once, with the essential data laid out logically right before the user’s eyes. Automap Universal software ensures that little or no user setup is required. Sequencer controls are automatically mapped to the SL COMPACT the moment the sequencer boots up, whilst all VST or AU parameters are intuitively assigned as soon as a plug-in opens. In addition, an instant click and control ???????learn’ function is available for quick custom assigning, providing personalised plug-in control. The SL COMPACT’s unique PAC (pointer-assigned control) technology combined with its ???????speed dial’ also help to maximise efficiency by providing tactile control of any parameter on which the mouse pointer rests in Automap Universal mode. In Automap Universal mode, the number of controls is unlimited. In Manual Template mode, the eight encoders and eight buttons with LEDs combine with eight Group select switches to provide 64 different assignable parameters. Eight large, velocity-sensitive trigger pads are also available, ideal for triggering samples or sketching out beats. With its 25- or 49- key (2- or 4- Octave) professional, semi-weighted keyboard featuring aftertouch, the SL COMPACT upholds Novation’s philosophy of designing real instruments rather than mere computer peripherals. The SL COMPACT provides a truly focused and highly portable MIDI controlling solution through its dedicated transport controls, assignable pitch / mod wheels, and USB bus powering. Novation’s pioneering Automap Universal technology, the huge screen and an unrivalled control set ensure that the ReMOTE SL COMPACT is the only choice for the demanding, modern music maker in search of an intuitive MIDI controller that won’t break the bank. With the SL COMPACT, artists are free to focus on what matter most ??????? their music. Automap Universal Automap universal is Novation’s unique sequencer and plug-in control protocol, providing automatic control of any automatable plug-in within any sequencer. Automap Universal removes the pain inherent in old school MIDI control, leaving the artist free to enjoy making music. Simply open up a plug-in and watch the parameters appear on the SL’s screens. Every plug-in is given a ‘learn’ mode for easy and instantaneous mapping of controls - simply click the software parameter, then move a hardware control to automatically assign. In addition, open up any major sequencer and the mixer controls, as well as many other session parameters, are instantly mapped to the ReMOTE SL. A single button allows you to switch between controlling different instruments and the mixer, with all names and values displayed c

Finally, recording in the dark is a thing of the past. The SL shines a light on the murky world of MIDI control by providing two giant, brightly lit LCD screens alongside an intelligent Automap mode*, which detects what instruments you have in your project and intelligently and logically maps the controls to the SL’s front panel. 2 Giant LCD Screens For Displaying Control Names & Values: Running along the top of the ReMOTE SL front panel are two 144-character screens, which can display up to 16 parameter names and values simultaneously. This makes controlling in the dark a thing of the past and does away with Template overlays or having to remember the function of each control. It also makes navigating though menus simple as each page is laid out side by side and edited using the buttons or knobs directly below. Fantastic New Automap Mode: This new intelligent mode is set to revolutionise the way you make music! When an Automap-supported application boots up (currently Reason 3, Cubase SL/SX 3, Nuendo 3, Logic Pro 7 and Ableton Live 5, with more on their way), the SL loads up the Automap Template and all the parameter assignment is done for you, showing you everything clearly on the gigantic screens. All you have to do to switch between controlling different instruments or areas of your session is click once with the mouse or press one button on the SL, depending on the application. Go to the Automap page here to find out more. 8 Musically-Responsive Trigger Pads: Brand new to Novation controllers are these dynamic trigger pads for sketching out beats or bashing out samples. Each pad can be calibrated any way the user desires, with sensitivity and assigned data both fully programmable. For example, the pads can be set up as velocity-sensitive MIDI notes or buttons assigned to a CC number, where the value of that number is defined by the strength the pad is hit. A Semi-Weighted Keyboard Action With Aftertouch: At the heart of the ReMOTE is a superb action, semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch. Unlike many controllers, you can play your favourite software synth or sampler with the care and precise control that can make a huge difference to the final performance. Hands On Responsive Control For Every Application: The ergonomically designed front panel is inviting and simple to use. And it’s all there - 8 rotary potentiometers, 8 sliders, 8 rotary encoders and 24 switches that are entirely programmable. All controls can be named and memorised as a collection with a group template name, then saved in any one of the 64 template memories. Use-Anywhere Portability & Rechargeable Power: The ReMOTE SL may be powered by six C-size alkaline/rechargeable batteries or external mains PSU. When connected to a computer via USB, rechargeable batteries are charged without the need of a mains re-charger. X/Y Touchpad For Total Expression: Indicative of Novation’s forward thinking design is the touchpad. Being fully assignable and programmab
