Control Your Stuff, Without the Gear Clutter!

When you need to take control over your DAW as well as your virtual instruments, you end up cluttering your desktop with this gadget and that keyboard and this box... why not streamline your setup and save a bundle in the process? Novation's 49 SL Mk II controller is the solution you're looking for! This compact, 49-key controller plays great, thanks to its semi-weighted keyboard. You also get a huge display, buttons galore, assignable rotary controllers, faders, drum pads, a joystick controller, and even a very cool Xpression pad that gives you even cooler ways to work with your stuff.

You don't have to dig deep into the manual to take control of your instruments or DAW. Novation included Automap 3 PRO software with the 49 SL Mk II, so mapping is a snap. The buttons are backlit, the rotary controllers are ringed with LEDs, and the whole package is made to be as easy to use live as it is in the studio. You even get the very cool Xcite+ Pack, which includes Ableton DAW software, synths, samples, and loops; you're ready to start creating, right out of the box! Play expressively, trigger samples, take command of plug-ins, and generally rule your universe. If you want to take control but don't want a bunch of different boxes to make it happen, then you need this!
