Novation 61SL MkIII (Black) USB Controller Keyboard
The Novation 61SL MkIII (Black) is a DAW USB controller that meets the needs of hardware users. Completely detached from the computer, the pattern-based 8-track sequencer generates notes and events that are output via 2x MIDI outputs and 2x CV/Gate/Mod strings. The semi-weighted keyboard with numerous controllers invites you to enter notes and play live. 5x small, high resolution displays, coloured buttons and the illuminated keyboard provide visual feedback at all times.
The 61SL MkIII adapts perfectly to a DAW environment and also facilitates access to the functions of a computer-based production environment through the implemented sequencer. 8x faders and encoders each, 16x pads and the 61-note keyboard make every action in the master sequencer haptic.

That's what was missing in my setup. The easiness of integrating Ableton, VSTs and hardware synths give so many possibilities. The Arturia collection now feels more like actual gear and takes me out of the computer based, clicking experience to having fun with sound shaping. The arpeggio mode with option to switch off some of the steps quickly gives a poly metric sequence - super fun and inspiring. Keys feel good and lights above makes working with zones a breeze. The number of controllers - buttons, faders, pots, and 2x MIDI out/through assure a permanent presence of this controller in my studio.
