"MIDI and CV-equipped keyboard controller with eight-track sequencer
Novation today announces the next generation of SL keyboard controllers. SL MkIII is far from your typical keyboard controller. It’s an all sequencing, all dancing hub for all of your music-making tools. A centrepiece to connect, control and create with your entire setup. Computer or not. Create quickly and easily with your MIDI hardware and CV/Gate synths. Build your tracks in the eight-track polyphonic sequencer: everything in time; everything in key; every control at your fingertips.
Novation worked with Ableton® to create an unprecedented integration with Live™. SL MkIII truly pulls your sessions out of the box. The full colour LCD screens give you full visibility of your parameters, while the pads, buttons, eight faders and eight knobs get you hands-on with your music – and in any major music software, using InControl. Deep integrations with Logic® and Reason – plus HUI compatibility with Cubase, Pro Tools® and Reason – mean SL MkIII can follow you away from Ableton®, too.
SL MkIII boasts Novation's finest, most playable and expressive synth-style semi-weighted keybed, with a sprung action and Novation's highest scan rate, all tuned to the needs of the experienced player.
Key features
Absolute hardware control, taking total control directly from the internal eight-track polyphonic pattern-based sequencer
Easy integration with Ableton® Live™ or any other HUI-compatible DAW. Controlling software is made easy by recording productions from a studio centrepiece
Whether in the box or outside the box, the MIDI and analogue clock and transport controls keep everything running in time
Highly customisable mappings for hardware and software easily control everything
USB; MIDI In, Out, Out 2/Thru; three pedal inputs; Analogue Clock Out; and two CV Pitch, Gate, and Mod outputs can be used to route anything anywhere
SL MkIII's pads, buttons, eight faders and eight knobs take control of all major music software using InControl
The SL MkIII has an exceptionally high scan rate of 10kHz, giving the keyboard a huge dynamic range for expressive keyboard performance
SL MkIII's velocity-sensitive RGB pads have multiple functions: they can be used for launching clips, as steps in the sequencer, they are perfect for the finger drummer, and have polyphonic aftertouch
Components allows templates and sessions to be backed up and restored in the cloud, enabling access from anywhere in the world. All content can also be saved locally"

"Hot Sugar x MiniNova

Hot Sugar's production techniques are a little unconventional in that he uses found sounds as the sonic source for most of the elements in his tracks, a technique he calls 'associative music'. These sounds can vary from the static on an analogue TV — sculpted in various ways to create an number of different instruments — to samples from an impressive collection of musical toys and random noise-making devices that Nick keeps within arms reach when making music. It was because of this that we decided to ask Hot Sugar to dig into the MiniNova's sound-processing and synthesis capabilities to see what it can do.

"This Summit deep dive video sees us taking a look into the FX section of Summit. Summit can be split into two different FX processors and you can access two independent reverbs, delays and choruses alongside the distortions and filter. Here, -CALC- shows you how you can use the FX processor on the synth engines, as well as using the audio input to effect any external audio.
With its multitimbral architecture and 16 voices of polyphony, Summit is like two Peaks in one instrument, enabling two completely independent patches to be split or layered across the keyboard, or switched between on the fly. And, that’s not the end of it: the addition of dual filters, greatly extended front panel controls, audio input and the same premium-quality five-octave keyboard introduced with our SL MkIII MIDI controller, put Summit in a creative league of its own.
"In this video, Enrique covers how to sync Ableton to the SL MkIII. Showing you how to take full advantage of your SL MkIII's internal sequencer and all its features and apply them to your plug-ins or internal Ableton sounds."
