Novation has announced the next generation of SL keyboard controllers. They say that SL Mk3 is far from your typical keyboard controller. It’s an all sequencing, all dancing hub for all of your music-making tools. We had a visit from Chris Calcutt and a table full of gear to show us how the new model will integrate into a setup. We must say it does seem pretty impressive with a ton of features.
Gaz and Chris pretty much covered all the features in this presentation, so if you want to get the full facts, sit back and enjoy.
