Finally, producing in the dark is a thing of the past. The SL shines a light on the murky world of MIDI control by providing two huge, brightly lit LCD screens that display up to 16 control names and values simultaneously. Alongside this is the intelligent Automap Universal technology, which detects the sequencer and plug-ins in use and intelligently maps parameters to the SL’s pots, switches, and sliders. With these award-winning features and a massive array of assignable controls, the SL takes the headache out of MIDI controlling, making music creation as spontaneous and exciting as it should be. Plug and Play USB connection with no drivers required for Windows XP or Mac OS X. A host of exciting software solutions, including Ableton Live Lite 6 and over 1.5 gigs of loops and samples.
