Novation 61SL MkIII DAW Controller and Sequencer Keyboard

SL MkIII is Novation's hybrid controller for a studio built around both hardware and software: a semi-weighted, sprung-action keybed with a 10 kHz scan rate drives velocity-sensitive RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch, while five colour LCD screens keep parameter names and values in view instead of hidden in a laptop window. An 8-track pattern-based sequencer, arpeggiator, and eight faders plus eight knobs for DAW control round out the surface.

Two sets of CV Pitch, Gate, and Mod outputs let SL MkIII sequence modular gear and analogue synths alongside a DAW, and it carries MIDI In, Out, and Out 2/Thru plus USB. Backlit, RGB pitch and mod wheels, selectable arpeggiator sync, customizable velocity curves, and cloud-based template backup via Novation Components round out the feature set. It ships as a 49-key or 61-key keyboard; both share identical electronics and control surface.
