ReMOTE
SL |
2/3/5-octave Soft
Label USB MIDI Controller Keyboard, plus ZeRO option
without keys!
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. |

Overview: |
2 GIANT LCD
SCREENS FOR DISPLAYING CONTROL NAMES AND 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 AND 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
programmable in both X (side-to-side) and Y
(up-and-down) directions, stunning and unique
performance effects are just a finger-glide
away. Imagine setting a distortion amount and a
pan position on the left to right movement and
an LFO speed and filter cut-off on the top to
bottom movement - total expressive and creative
control.
DEDICATED TRANSPORT CONTROLS AND FAST
TEMPLATE FUNCTION BUTTONS
Total control over your sequencer’s transport
and locate functions are yours via the dedicated
transport and four function button controls.
Select a new template, scroll through templates,
send snapshots, transmit a panic command, etc.
this kind of instant flexibility will streamline
your working practice.
BUILT IN USB / MIDI INTERFACE
Now shipped with both Windows and Mac OSX USB
MIDI drivers, just plug into the USB port,
install the driver software and the ReMOTE is
fully operational. Alternatively if your
computer system does not have USB then simply
plug into the MIDI ports. The ReMOTE SL provides
two MIDI Out ports, one MIDI thru port and one
MIDI In port. Information originating from the
ReMOTE keyboard or its controls can be sent
directly to the USB port and/or any of the MIDI
out ports. The MIDI ports can be used to
integrate the rest of your MIDI gear into your
computer system. |
