Description

The Novation 61SL MKIII is a revolutionary MIDI keyboard controller geared toward electronic musicians and producers seeking an unrivaled level of hands-on control over their DAW. This fully featured powerhouse combines an expansive 61-note keyboard with aftertouch, eight touch-sensitive knobs, nine faders and 16 RGB backlit MPC-style pads. It offers deep integration with popular DAWs like Ableton Live for a seamless workflow. The 61SL MKIII's lightweight design ensures durability for years of inspired performances and late-night studio sessions.

Eight 360-Degree Touch-Sensitive Knobs

The 61SL MKIII's eight touch-sensitive knobs can be tapped, swiped and rotated for a new level of precision control over effects, instruments and more. 360-degree LED rings surrounding each knob display the current value and place in the effect's range. Tap a knob to set a parameter to its default value or double tap to jump to a predefined sweet spot.

Nine Long-Throw Faders

Nine long-throw faders provide fluid control over levels, sends and other continuous parameters in your DAW. Each fader has 10-bit precision for ultrasmooth fading and includes an LED display to show the fader's value, whether default, user-defined or relative to the fader's maximum range.

16 Full-Color Pads With Aftertouch

The 61SL MKIII features 16 ultraresponsive pads with RGB backlighting and aftertouch for advanced beat creation and clip launching. The pads can be easily customized to control drum racks, instruments, effects, transport controls and more. Their removable overlays provide visual reference points to keep you focused on your performance.

Ableton Live Control and Complete DAW Integration

The 61SL MKIII offers dedicated control over Ableton Live through its Ableton Live Control mode. Eight touch-sensitive knobs instantly map to Live's key parameters, and the pads trigger clips, scenes, devices and the Loop Recorder. For other DAWs, use the 61SL MKIII's pre-mapped control profiles or create your own to match your workflow using Novation Components. USB-powered for portability, the 61SL MKIII connects via a single USB cable to your computer or iOS device.
