Novation 61SL MkIII 61-Key MIDI Controller Keyboard and Sequencer with DAW integration

Yep

A very fantastic Controller for any studio situation

It's a decent controller, but it's missing quite a few features to make it a winner.A song mode for example.Also it can't do sysex and control older synths like my mks70. So it's like 80% of a controller that fully works.You can't really use it as a live performer without a song mode, and it's not a fully fledged midi controller in the studio because it can't even control as much as the sl MK2It also focuses too much on being an Ableton controller and doesn't have proper scripts for cubase for example.It lacks a proper identity for me.

Nice looking piano with many features, just need to get use to this

I have owned this controller for nearly 2 years now and absolutely love its very well thought-out integration with Ableton live.The RGB lighting is a pleasure to look at, the pads respond very well for velocity-sensitive finger drumming and the keys, even though semi-weighted, feel very natural to play. I never realized how much time I spent away from the guitar/keys and messing with the computer clicking things and breaking my musical concentration. This thing _really_ makes a difference with its Ableton integration for being able to stay the heck away from the keyboard and mouse.The reason that I am writing this review, however, isn't to praise the controller - it has enough of that already. The reason I am writing this review is to commend the absolutely AWESOME customer service at Novation. Through a series of unfortunate circumstances I have had a few of these in my hands now and only one of them was due to an actual malfunction. When one of the sliders wouldn't hold a zero (after about a year's use) midi value at the very bottom of its travel, Novation set up a remote meeting with a tech where he installed a midi monitoring application and worked with me remotely to confirm the hardware fault. The unit was replaced with a refurb in great condition.About a year later the unit I had sustained some physical damage and I reached out to seek repairs. After a conversation with customer service - and I need to add here that they were very responsive, no more than a day turn between correspondence - they once again advised me of the options and I chose to go the refurb way. When the 2nd refurb arrived, it was in significantly poorer condition than my first one. I reached out to Novation again, this time not expecting much, since I needed a replacement through no fault of theirs and thought it would be completely fair to tell me to just deal with a well-loved unit. After sending some pictures and video detailing my concerns with the condition, the customer service representative worked with me to get a brand new unit (for a price obviously, but the refurb price). I have been, throughout, very impressed with Novation's customer support - responsive, knowledgeable and actual real people you can talk to about your gear. They really stand behind their product. That's something I really respect and is sadly not as frequent these days as one might wish.If you are looking for a feature-rich, affordable (as far as music gear can be) and enjoyable MIDI controller (with very intuitive Ableton integration) this should already be on your radar. If you expect or at least hope for great customer service, where a real and competent human being is on the other end of the communication - Novation is a great choice.

Es ist für mich das Midi-Keybord der Midi- KeyboardsEs hat so viele zusätzliche, vor allem Praktisch brauchbare Funktionen. Herauszuheben sind hier:-Bedienbarkeit-eingebauter Stepsequencer/Arpegiatior-Scale Funktion-Support von Hardware instrumenten (CV-Ein und Ausgänge; Profile für diverse Sythesizer Konfigurationen)und noch einiges mehrAbstriche musste ich nur beim Editor feststellen, der ist nicht so intuitiv bedienbar, da es aber zieg vor konfigurierte Presets gibt, brauchte ich den Editor quasie gar nicht

Spedizione velocissima e imballo perfetto !!La tastiera midi è stupenda e ha moltissime funzioni ci vorrà tempo prima che scopro bene il funzionamento

I love this thing. I use Ableton Live already so it has been a workflow improvement. It has still been getting firmware updates too. My only wish is that they would integrate nks and the light guide but I doubt that will happen. Other than that I have no complaints. It really is the "almost perfect" midi keyboard.

Excelentisimo Controlador Novation mucho mejor que otras marcas
