About Novation SL MkIII

Experience the unparalleled versatility and performance of the SL MkIII 49-Key MIDI and CV Keyboard Controller. This innovative device is not just a keyboard controller, but a comprehensive music-making hub designed to connect, control, and create with your entire setup, whether you're using a computer or not.

The SL MkIII is equipped with an eight-track polyphonic sequencer, allowing you to build your tracks with precision and ease. Every control is at your fingertips, ensuring everything is in time and in key. This controller is available in both 49 and 61 key versions, offering total control over your music production process.

With the SL MkIII, you can enjoy the benefits of a DAW without the need to constantly refer to a computer screen. Connect your hardware synths and control everything through highly customizable mappings for your hardware and software. You can even create your own mappings using the software editor.

The internal eight-track pattern-based sequencer allows you to input notes step-by-step or record as you go. You can play and edit your sequences directly from the keyboard, and record parameter automation straight onto the sequencer, bringing your productions to life.

The SL MkIII features our most playable synth-style semi-weighted keybed, with a sprung action tuned to the needs of the experienced player. The keys have a super dynamic feel due to an exceptionally high scan rate of 10 kHz, and offer vibrant on-key RGB LED feedback. The velocity-sensitive RGB pads can be used for launching clips, as steps in the sequencer, for finger drumming, and have polyphonic aftertouch.

We've collaborated with Ableton to create an unprecedented integration with Live, pulling your sessions out of the box. The full-color LCD screens provide full visibility of your parameters, while the pads, buttons, eight faders, and eight knobs allow you to get hands-on with your music in any major music software, using InControl.

The SL MkIII offers deep integrations with Logic and Reason, as well as HUI compatibility with Cubase, Pro Tools, Studio One, and Reaper, making it a versatile tool that can open up any DAW.

The SL MkIII also offers comprehensive connectivity options, including USB; MIDI In, Out, Out 2/Thru; sustain, expression and footswitch inputs; Analogue Clock Out; and two sets of CV Pitch, Gate, and Mod outputs.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or a budding musician, the SL MkIII 49-Key MIDI and CV Keyboard Controller is designed to inspire and facilitate your musical journey.
