The SL revolution continues with the
official launch of the ReMOTE 25 SL keyboard controller and the
announcement of two new, larger SL keyboards that together bring
Novation's exclusive Automap technology to the world. The SL line -
25-key, 37-key (3-octave), and 61-key (5-octave) controllers - leaps far
ahead as intelligent Automap technology integrates seamlessly with your
favorite software automatically while logical layout, loads of
knobs/sliders/pads, progressive design, and 3 sizes provide professional
keyboard players with the number one solution on the market.
The ReMOTE SL line of keyboards has heralded a completely new era of
MIDI control. It's the first controller keyboard that detects the
software you are using in your virtual studio and intelligently
"automaps" that software's functions and controls to the keyboard's own
front panel knobs and sliders. In short, no more fiddly overlays or
template programming; assignments are automatic, as they should be.
The ReMOTE 25 SL quite literally sets the world alight with two massive,
brightly-lit LCDs, which can show 16 different parameter names and
values to match with the fascia controls, so that the user knows exactly
what all the knob and sliders are assigned to. These, combined with a
wealth of additional controls plus an on-board memory for 32 templates,
mean that any SL user is in total control of their software at all
times. Also, SL keyboards feature Novation's exclusive Xpression Pad
4-point parameter controller and Xpression Stick for maximum performance
options.
The ReMOTE 37 SL and ReMOTE 61 SL larger format keyboards complete
Novation's already extensive keyboard portfolio which was itself
recently bolstered by the addition of 4- and 5-octave controllers to the
LE range, the company's compact series designed to run straight out of
the box, plug-n-play style with a host of popular software packages.
Like the SL extension, the larger LE controllers retain all of the
original keyboard's features and usability and are a superb, simple and
cost-effective controller solution.

It's the first controller keyboard that detects the software you are using in your virtual studio and logically 'automaps' that software's controllers to the keyboard's own front panel knobs and sliders, all at the click of a button. In short, no more fiddly overlays as the keyboard takes all the hard work out of assigning its controls to the software you are using.
The SL25 also quite literally set the world alight with two massive, brightly-lit LCDs which can show 16 different parameter names to match with the fascia controls, so that the user knows exactly what all the knob and sliders are assigned to. These, combined with a wealth of additional controls plus an on-board memory for 40 templates, mean that any SL user is in total control of their software at all times.
And now the SL revolution continues with the announcement of two new, larger SL keyboards that bring all of that functionality to the pro playing market. The new models — a 3-octave (37-key) and 5-octave (61-key) version — retain all of the features, ease of use and logical layout of the original and bring its futuristic design to keyboard players the world over.
