This 61-Key MIDI Keyboard Controller is the perfect product for Producers and DJ's, with its absolute hardware control and one routable clock for the whole system so you can take control and keep everything running in time. Create your own templates restore them in the cloud with the components.

Absolute hardware control
Bring MIDI hardware and CV/Gate synths together by plugging them all into SL mkiii, taking total control directly from the internal eight-track polyphonic pattern-based sequencer.

Easily integrate hardware with your DAW
Do you use a DAW and crave integrating your favourite hardware? Well, you can have the best of both worlds. Make controlling your software easy by recording productions from a studio centrepiece.

The perfect controller for Live
We worked with Ableton to create an absolutely stunning keyboard controller for their Live music-making software. The five colour LCD screens give you full parameter feedback, enabling you to see everything you are controlling.

Internal eight-track pattern-based sequencer
Real time record or input notes per step. Play and edit your sequences directly from the keyboard. Record your movements as automation into the sequencer, bringing life to your production. The probability of a programmed step can be altered, bringing creative irregularity and extending the musical palette of the SL MkIII. The SL MkIIIs pads can now be used to make sequencer transposition a powerful performance tool.
