August 2007 sees the release of a new MIDI controller from Novation.
The ReMOTE SL COMPACT, combined with Automap Universal, provides an
affordable route to automatic, instant and intelligent control of all
major sequencers and all automatable plug-ins. A huge 144-character
screen displays up to eight assigned parameters at once, with the
essential data laid out logically right before the user’s eyes.
Novation’s Automap Universal software, unique to the SL range,
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, 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 matters most – their music.
SL COMPACT also ships with Novation’s new Xcite+ bundle, which
features a host of exciting software solutions, including Ableton
Live Lite 6; ideal to get the new user started, or to expand the
experienced user’s creative toolbox.
