"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"

Oberheim Etude #1: "Marathon Man"

Published on Oct 10, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Straight-up, in-your-face synth hero in this piece. Full-on 80's mode. :)

Something of a LH stamina-fest! Yes, quite the marathon.

Presently I'm preparing the scores for review. What I'm creating for each piece is introductory text/explanation of the musical/technical points, plus the score - and I'm hoping to also have a 'player-friendly' version of each score i.e. all note names added to help those who may struggle with notated music. Very involved, but hopefully worth it.

Given there is no developed repertoire for the synth (I mean as in sheet music i.e. a quantifiable recorded form of the music that can be passed from player-player), it is difficult to say what a 'good' synth player is, as there is no established technical yardstick. With these etudes I'm covering the technical/musical difficulties encountered in synth writing (which isn't necessarily 'play fast'), and sometimes pushing those difficulties slightly further (you likely won't encounter an octave bassline with the jumps/constant nature as of this work - but if you can play a work such as this, 'typical' synth bassline writing is, relatively speaking, easy).

The end result is: if someone can play all 12, they'll have the ability to play almost anything/everything written for synth.

Guaranteed gigs/session work :)

The works are also good for pinpointing any weaknesses in playing. And hopefully also enjoyable as audio! No point writing music that sounds terrible!

The works aren't written necessarily to be played on an Oberheim - they can be performed on any 49-key synth. Even a MIDI controller/soft synth is fine. Personally, I'd love to hear what other players would do with them, in terms of patch/overall tone.

I'm also working on a set of monophonic works. I'll post one soon.

It would be nice for the audio for both sets to be available as an album/digital download. Let's see how things unfold.

All best
Kris"
