UPDATE! Novation addressed quite a few of the "cons" in this video, and added even more stuff in firmware updates - see description above for more details
This is the controller I've been waiting for for years.
It's a Ableton push with keys, cv and midi out and scales mode.
So good
I wish they made this with fully weighted 88 keys, it would be expensive but I'd happily pay.
@@dorsia6938 i never got the appeal of the piano heavy keys. on an actual piano you feel its usefulness physically, but on a synth i feel like it just makes things unnecessarily hard when i could get the same exact expression curve on lighter keys just by pressing lighter
maybe im just sore because I tried learning keyboards from a guy who wouldnt shut the fuck up about 'how inexpensive uprights are' despite the face i told him im not interested and i just play synth:P
he knew this before appointment #1
You manage to get different sequences playing on different tracks? I can't get it to do anything but play the one sequence I make in any track to play and it just plays across all 8 channels. CANNOT get different sequence per channel playing. Which makes it entirely useless...wtf do I need 8 tracks of the same sequence for you know?
Although I am new and just researching controllers, this looks like it's something to aspire towards.
Thanks for the comprehensive overview in this and other videos. My first controller purchase will hopefully be an informed one because of your work.
I can't stop listening to the intro of this video over and over again as the music is awesome!
We saw your face! As always, a great detailed look at a device. And as usual, now I want one. Thanks so much.
Thank you for being 100% transparent when doing these kind of reviews. Great work, as always.
Welcome
awesome review. I've been considering this and I'm happy that you did a review of it.
Just got mine today and I'm loving it so far! Already watched this 3 times, such a comprehensive guide and review. Thanks so much! Can't wait to continue to explore this awesome sequencer!
Can you share some of how it's held up over the past year. Wre you still using it to this day?
And that is the answer, :), keeping my finger crossed for you to keep the level of professionalism in your channel. Thanx again and rgds M.
It would be REALLY great if you could also do an update on your previous SL Mk III review now that the v1.4 firmware has come out. A real deep dive especially with the new features now on integrating that with Ableton Live and simultaneously with “in the box” as well as external synths would be soooo helpful.
+1 on this
yep
Too bad that it doesn't have the chord mode like the launchkey
@@ahzootube It doesn't no. I have pointed this out to Novation that its odd that the flagship controller doesn't get the features from the Launchkey. However, Calc at Novation did show a workaround to get chord mode using the pads. So at least we have that. Its on his live stream video for the 1.4 firmware update.
@@contactJesus how? I don't see any updates on their website
Great review as allways! The MKiii looks great!
It is very helpful the content index in the left side.
So good to see you a picture of you guys. Loopop you are too cool and humble to show yourself, but we got you this time. Take care during the lockdown and thanks for the amazing reviews!
JumoDaddy busted! Yeah that meetup was a lot of fun for sure
Mine arrives today, thanks for the vid - great work!
I want this. I don't even make music.
😂😂😂
Buy some Christmas tree lights and save a bundle.
He'll still need the Prophet for the knobs.
Salty Maud haha
I'm getting it and I don't make music. Hahaa
A 25/37 key keyboard on this version would be interesting. This is a great keyboard, great review! Congrats
This is my next acquisition for my Ableton Live 11 studio (small studio I might add) but your review shows me just what I need for new hardware. Thank you so much for the review.
good review bro, even timed it out for us. Thanks. subscribed
What a nice video ... your presentation skills are great ... well done!!
Mine just arrived from sweetwater today ! Thank u for the vid, this lil beast is a bit complex lol
Incredible. I didn't expect music industry can come up with something new that I WANT!
Definitely going to invest in this to work alongside my soon to be Komplete Kontrol S88 MKII. Super cool! Speaking of which I definitely see some influences from NI in their product but they took some of their own spins on their control too which I love
Excellent review!
Amazing 😉! This is what the industry needed to get its act together. Now maybe we can get a Push controller with a standalone sequencer mode and cv/gate/trigger inputs and outputs. This does a beautiful job of centralizing all types of controllable instruments!
To bad they didn't get there act together on the Keybed quality.
@@paulj9821 How does it compare to a KKMK2?
the way this aged like wine lmao
Hi Loopop, it would be really great if you could do a deep dive on this midi keyboard / controller post firmware 1.4 release. With your in depth knowledge of all things DAW and your ability to cut through to the necessary detail in a no nonsence way, a new beep dive would be invaluable. I consider your content so well organised and valuable that within watching 2 or 3 videos I signed up to your Patreon channel with a smile on my face, knowing that I was going to get the inside track...I would like to thank you for your contribution...it's invaluable...I'm in the UK btw....your influnce is spreading!!!
Thanks so much for joining my Patreon and for the kind words! Unfortunately I review so many things that it's almost impossible to cover firmware updates :/ I do occasionally but I don't want to promise this one...
lovin the LED indicators at rear of keys
The 1.4 update has made this so much more useful.
Nice to see you man!!! Peace!!!
Thanks for doing this, I am getting my SL 61 mk3 delivered today.........
WOW! I don't know how I missed this. 😵 All these little awesome things from different controllers over the years (like Akai, Arturia, nektar, native instruments, all novation's launchpad stuff...) Put in one place. Trying to consolidate the best workflow out of all my gear has really put a damper on my output. This seems like a great answer.
I just sold my mpk249 and keystep pro for one of these
Phenomenal explanation... Thank you !!!
I bought this thing and it really is a Joy to be able to have the "circuit sequencer ", using to record into my deluge with limitless bar length and song mode, as a cascading sequencer, is really fun to use and build song ideas!
Is this only a step sequencer or can you record sequences live?
I actually thought of getting sth similar to that.
I'm more akin to a circuit&pyramid combo, though.
But I'll check that songmode on the deluge, again.
The light up scales mode looks useful for learning.
17:22 I'm working with Ableton's Python API myself and yes, that's possible.
The Track class has the properties output_meter_left, output_meter_right and output_meter_level (left&right).
As a rule of thumbs for people who don't know anything about programming, you can say if it's already possible with another controller (Push 2 already does that today) then it's possible with any controller.
The API is reverse engineered and there are decompiled versions of the Framework. So anyone can work with the same tools Ableton is using when they are writing scripts for controllers. The only difference is that for us it's much more complicated since there is no actual public documentation. But technically we can do anything Ableton could do (at least on Python level).
Thank you for sharing! Amazing tutorial!
Great review! So many choices. I personally prefer full-size semi-weighted keys, 2.5 octaves, preferably USB powered, that way I can power it with my battery bank.
Great review as usual! Couple of questions:
Is there a chord mode as well like on Komplete Kontrol or only the scales mode?
Is there a swing option for the sequencer? Would be nice to have that as well as a nudge micro shift option!
Interested in chord mode also, anyone care to try it out and let us know?
Excellent as usual 😊🙏
A 73 key-bed model starting from 1C to 73C would be great. Thanks for sharing the in depth review.
Hi, great review. Does it have swing or groove settings per part or note?
I have a question: does the sequencer have built-in swing or shuffle? I could work around it but would be nice to play with swing already set to a certain amount on the keyboard.
Thanks for this great video! One question... How do you change the output midi channel? Its driving me crazy. Thanks!
Really looking forward to picking this up, I've been using a KK61 MK2 for the past 2 years, and recently I've discovered it has no onboard memory to store presets/templates for my external hardware. I'm thinking if it's anywhere as flexible as the Novation Zero SL MK2 series as I'm planning on having the faders mapped out only to the second MIDI out port, which will act as fader control for my 8 Octatrack channels. The first MIDI out sending keys, etc., to a Squarp Pyramid, which then will serve as the main sequencer, but the prospect of being able to map all of the buttons on board, or even a knob that can switch instrument channels thru the Pyramid would be a change that I'm so excited to see. I hope it's able to do some of these things. I have initially been looking to pick up the Keystep Pro, but I realize I don't need all the gate/cv when I've already got the Pyramid.
Came here because I'm considering replacing my NI Kontrol49 with the Novation SLmk3. When I bought the NI Kontrol I was doing lots of software & kontakt instruments and the NKS support was a big selling point. But there's a lot of annoying downsides - the primary one which is the arpeggiator will not work manually with hardware (over midi etc) - unless you first open a DAW and add the Komplete Kontrol plugin. Just to use the Arp or Midi with hardware. I found over time I quit using the NKS support and now that I've gotten more into hardware and modular, the CV support, sequencer, and even the drum pads and fader knobs are all convincing me it's time to switch over. Thanks for this video!
One of the things I wish was totally different is switching between controlling the instrument and various FX in the DAW. When I do live recordings I don't want to take both of my hands off the keys and pause to switch between FX, and I need to because of how far the "options" key is from the pads on the left side. You need both hands, one to press "options", one to press the pad. I wanted to see if this pad control of the instrument and 2 closest FX on the left can somehow be re-assigned to pads on the right side, or if order could somehow be reversed, but so far I was unable to figure it out. If I could use just one hand, I could switch between instrument and FX controls almost seamlessly without a significant delay. Eventually I just worked it out by moving SL MK III and the entire rack very close to my two touch sensitive Planar monitors, so now I just use the right hand to change to a different effect right on the monitor without stopping to play with my left hand. It's not ideal though, because it makes other things a little cumbersome, but I'll probably work it out eventually. Another thing that I couldn't work out is why when I try to assign the control knobs and faders of the older NI VSTs in Ableton to control knobs on SL MK III, sometimes this becomes impossible after the 8th SL MK III knob is assigned. Usually the "page" just turns and the "up" arrow lights up and you continue assigning. But with some instruments used as VSTs in Ableton such as some but not all Reaktor 6 Ensembles, - only 8 knobs can be assigned and pressing arrows to "turn the page" does nothing. Sometimes when I try this again after saving the project and re-calling it it begins working on its own, and other times, - I'm stuck with just the 8 controls and have to "choose wisely" LOL. Wonder what this "bug" is about.
Thak you for the review, it's been very enlightening. Now I want one of those XD
Thanks for this review awesome stuff. I've been producing for a year now and just started playing with hardware via the Launchkey Mini MK3 and really loved it. Just got the Push 2 a few days ago but thinking maybe I should return and pick up this SL MK3 49 or 61. Thoughts?
Novation invited a very special group of people for that sneak peek. That is awesome.
Excellent review! Tmrw is July 1st and the day I planned to order one!
Here’s a question... Should I order this over a Push 2???
I love everything about this box, I’m an Ableton junkie, but don’t exactly have much outboard gear besides a Bolsa Bass. I’m very interested in hardware so moving forward the SL would allow me room to grow that way I guess. But, for a guy who mostly works w/ Live and soft synths would you recommend?? Thx in advance 🙌
Great that they gave the sequencer variable loop length, but I totally agree that it would be great to not have it quanitized to a grid. I guess its only a small portion of musicians who would really want that though. Ambient and experimental mainly. Super cool that it has microtonal support too
Grear review.. Btw how do you connect several sound modules /synths to the key board.. ?
Fantastic video, thank you for sharing this with us! I had a question, please. The KeyStep Pro, which comes out soon, has four *independent* polyphonic sequencers which you can send out to various synths/hardware/vsti. The original KeyStep only could send out *one* unique sequence total, that's it. How many separate sequences can this MK III send out, is it only one single sequence to all synths/outside-world? I couldn't find an answer. Thank you!
It has 8 independent sequencers.
Thanks a lot for the cool review... I am using a M-Audio Axiom Pro 61 right now but I am looking for a new cool midicontroller which can replace this one (because I think it's getting broken on the modwheel) - I use my axiom pro at the moment with cubase and also controll a lot hardware synths with it (which I have programmed in ) - Do you know how easy it is to programm a hardware synth with midi cc-codes ? And how is the keyboard ? does it feel good ? Have it clicky keys ? would you prefer the native instruments S-series more than this or is this the better choice ? Thanks for your time and keep up the good work ! Cheers TweakerRay
Hi , nice video! I wonderi f there is a video available for beginners , for example if you open the box and configure everything with the novation components. As we use Reason and there are many videos for ableton. thanks in advance, steve
The recent firmware updates have made this even better. It's the center and brain of my setup. Fabulous gear
What a beautiful piece of music.
Would this be a good first groove box rather than something like a Novation Circuit or Electribe or Volcas?
Did they ever get around to adding transposing of patterns?
Comparing this to Keystep Pro atm. (pretty sure this has transpose of patterns)
Just bought it online, waiting for it.
Hey, thank you for all your video, I still have a question about sequencing, can we sequence a virtual instrument on a computer and a hardware instrument?? Cheers
1:00 holy cow, it’s a photo of Loopop!!
Thanks for what u do
nice video and very informative, i have a question? can you zone the keyboard with sounds on each track, for example, lets say i load 8 tracks in ableton, a piano, ect. then zone each instrument. because i noticed you did this with all the external gear you have.
thanks in advance.
Thanks - yes, you just send Ableton midi
Never thought I'd ever get to see your face, Loopop. I feel like a Star Wars fan after watching Episode VI for the first time! 😅
I have shown my face once, pray I don't show it any further
Very nice, and a great dive. Novation beat Arturia to the punch here as an answer to the non-existent Keystep Pro, for sure. Further, this looks to be a fantastic controller for a number of Roland products, from the Boutiques to the Roland Cloud software (at the same time!). Finally, with aftertouch and such a nice sequencer, it it looks to be an ideal companion for Novation's own near-forgotten stepchild, the Peak. May be just what I'm looking for a desktop set-up that includes a number of these items. Thanks!
yeah all of that but they cheaped out on the Keybed.
Thank you for the review. I have TR-8S, TB-3, Mikrofreak and one more hardware synth in plans. I'd like to have everything perfectly synced in Ableton, along with some VSTs. Will this toy make that possible? I'm experiencing some sync issues, I though connection everything via USB will work but it seems not to (please correct me if I'm wrong, maby it's a matter of settings, but I need to adjust sync tempo delay in Ableton pretty often). I'm looking for a solution and as E-RM costs over 500 eros, I started to thinking about Beatstep Pro, which led me to Keystep Pro, which led me here. What do you think, what solution would you recommend?
Awesome review! I just got it too, but when I enter scales mode and change the root key to say F, if I want to step record in a sequencer, it doesnt record the key I press. If I press a step in a sequencer and then press F note, it actually triggers A sharp note. Any ideas?
if you don't mind elaborating - I would wish to know what are the effects of the pattern resolution on live record without quantisation ?
Can you control more than 8 tracks with the faders (incontrol)? I dont see some arrows for more tracks..
The pattern feature on the arpeggiator is almost identical to the one on the mininova. I've not seen much put up about this controller after the initial release, would be very interested to see a retrospective from people who have been using it for a while.
Endless rotary knobs would be more useful than the faders. Especially if they came with led rings around them.
midi signal absolutely correct
That's why I will keep my MKii over this.
There are 8 rotary knobs just over the little displays. I suppose you can midi map them as you want.
midi signal - Your suggestion would be more useful for some musicians. However, those who would use this keyboard to play their favorite virtual rotary organ (B3) instrument plugin would want faders to map to the virtual drawbars. (Although for drawbars, 9 faders are FAR more optimal than 8, so why Novation chose to include only 8 I don't know.) The best scenario would be to have 9 faders AND another set of endless rotary knobs! (Novation, are you listening!?! Maybe on Mk4...)
@@PCemmy Thats why Arturia Keylab have 9 faders :)
Thanks Loopop!!👍🏻
I have recently bought a Mk SL III and one thing I could not figure out is how do you delete parts of a sequence? A part from one instrument or the whole pattern. I have seen different tutorials on the web made by the Novation team but it didn't came clear how to delete error parts of a performance in the sequencer. Please let me know. Thanks again👍🏻
Good idea on this. Take the simplicity of the Arturia Keystep sequencer, expand it a bit, and add it to an advanced controller. And hey...that's almost exactly what you just said. Maybe I should watch the entire video BEFORE I comment. : )
does it also have the "scale chord mode" with predefined chords (triads, 5ths, 7th,...) according to the selected scale, like the Launchkey?
I see the alternatives are for DAW controllers, but what alternatives are available for hardware ? with different sequencers in paralel.
thanks!
Agree would love to see a 37 Keys version. I know you would probably lose the faders on that version, and midi learn as we all like being away from the box. Great review. Be interesting if you could hook up a Circuit to the Mk 3 keyboard and have expanded Sequencer capabilities on a 37 key version having the Circuit talk closely to the midi keyboard. a bit like how Roli have with their blocks!
+1 for the 37 (mini) key version. It actually comes with a Circuit template. I haven't tried it out but quite a few parameters are accessible
that was a good overview, i will buy the bigger brother
Is there any way to print a sequence(from the MK3) to clip in Ableton like you can with the Launchpad pro?
Can you compare the SL keybed to the basic Launchkey MK 3 keybed? All your Novation reviews are great. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Perhaps I missed it, but does this remember encoder positions when you power off? For example, let’s say I’ve built a map for a Nord rack. I map an encoder to cutoff. Original, I know. 🤪
I turn encoder to like 2:00 position to set cutoff. I power off keyboard, then come back later and turn it on. Is the 2:00 position remembered by the keyboard so when I turn it it doesn’t jump? Or does it do what most controls do and reset encoders internal values to zero on power off?
Make sense?
Can you have the arpeggiator running while playing other sounds and then also still be able to morph and tweak the arpeggiator live?
you can
please do a quickie on the 1.2 and 1.3 updates :)
Matching NI with knobs, LIVE integration, Lightguide, Screens. Adding buttons, pads, faders, CV control, sequencer for same pricing! Zones and Layers from Day 1! And full transport. Impressive. Also - BUSY! No Mackie Control? Serious? Only Ableton? Keys and Pads responsiveness? Awesome for hybrid Analog/DAW setup. For DAW-only, seems to have misguided priorities. Loopop: Thanks for a well-made video. This is better than Novation's own vid.
And advanced but seldom used feature would be to be able to output duplicate data on your choice of channels and ports in any combination. Currently you can have either or both ports, but only one channel, the same channel only , I think, on one or both ports. But it would occasionally be very handy to be able to output on more than one channel at the same time. Like for example when layering two external synths or controlling a multimbral synth. I could be missing something, but the impression I currently have is you can't do that with any controllers currently? Maybe some exotic midi processor, idk.
Great review, just wanted to know how easy is this keyboard to use for the blind? If you can't see the displays or not make out if leds are on/off or not see the colour of rgb pads. Can it all be controlled via the online app and tell you what is selected/active on the hardware?
I've been told the online companion app works with screen readers, so should be accessible but I assume the slmk3 itself doesn't have speech output. So if the only way of knowing what the active modes are is from rgb/leds or digital displays, then I'm guessing it would be difficult to operate without sight.
Do you think that I may be able to control my Roland fantom Rack which has a Faulty display ?
Thanks for this video, I totally just bought a 61key & this totally influenced my decision.. Also watched this allot too lol..
Does the 61 keys version has fully Weighted keys?
@@jean-lucbell7571 semi
@@flufferbat2619 thanks, I hope they soon release a fully Weighted version
@@jean-lucbell7571 probably not but im guessing maybe in a year or two a mk4 might be available.. The keys also aren't full size i don't think.. I also have no idea how to play a piano lol.. So i can't really tell you how it compares to real keys, it also just arrived today and I have yet to open the box lol..
@@flufferbat2619 wish you the best with your new gear mate... Mean while I'll be waiting hoping they release an 88 keys fully weighted version of this, cheers!
Does this thing have integration with FL Studio 20? Or do I have to wait for AKAI to release a keyboard that integrates with FL?
Thanks for the nice video. I have a question: does the onboard sequencer work only with external synths? Or does it also work with Virtual instruments in the DAW? Thx for the info already - Johan
Thanks! Yes, MIDI is MIDI and can be sent to virtual instruments as well
I did give it serious consideration but opted for the Native Kontrol S49 as I liked the integration with Kontrol/Kontakt over mcc as I already own a Nektar Impact so it can do most of what the SL can but the Kontrol can do things NONE of them are able to do. So from my own experience and use, I think nks is superior to straight Midi/mcc and with vst support now in Kontrol, I made the right purchase decision FOR ME. For anyone who does not use Kontakt, fair enough, but I love Kontrol/Kontakt and I love the way I can control and configure key splits assign midi channels through the Kontrol app and press one preset button to change the templates for individual songs and scenes and it also has a button for that to. Impossible to not be impressed with the SL, but its down to what the user wants it to do that makes both machines suit different tastes and people.
what does the kontrol do?
Amazing!!! I wonder if Novation has any plans for make SL Zero Mk3.. I love to see it with Hardware Synth Control function and built in Sequencer :)
I am looking forward too
Fan Feng me too!!
That would be brilliant.
An SL88/76 mk3 with hammer action keys would be cool, as well..
Or .. a SL Zero mk3..with 32keys.., sort of like what Loopop made a comment on.
Yeah and maybe a FATAR keybed instead of the cheap crap they peddle in the SL MK3
Hello loopop and thanks ; you got me get one; works nicely with some stuff one would like see improved. If I may ask you and the community ; I have an annoying problem when recording in live : the notes are pushed 0,6 beat from where they should be ; it is midi so not audio latency? I think im missing a setting somewhere? many thanks
SO ive managed to cut the delay after the first note using the midi latency setting but the first note is still off...anybody has a fix for that?
Can the hardware sequences, individual hardware automation sequences, and arpeggiator all be recorded into a DAW (Logic Pro X in my case)? I like the concept here but still feel that the missing element is a clear indication of what each button and slider is mapped to in individual pieces of hardware. I like that you can map the sliders and buttons to functions that may be buried in hardware menus, but it looks like the controls must be used prior to visually seeing what you are controlling (a problem I have experienced with every MIDI controller that I've used - fine if you have a photographic memory, but slightly impractical in use. Does any software exist that would easily allow you to see the mappings without actually moving the sliders or triggering the buttons?
Thanks!
I have one of these along with Reason 11...and so far writing better music than I have for over 22 years. And I have'nt picked up a manual yet. With the SL though I can clearly see I'm going to have to dive into the menu soon. That's fine. Part of the deal when you're out out of practise or new to a new concept.
Some comments on the keybed quality would be great!
not weighted, synth action, very good
@@loopop they are decent but nothing great. We know this because we have the premium keybeds that have been used for many years in the more expensive dedicated standalone Synth.
The only thing that could make this (even more of) a no-brainer would be if it had a built-in interface like the Maschine MKIII. I'd love to see more controllers have that. We'll be entering a genesis level of equipment when controllers start regularly having interfaces.
honestly we should have been there decades ago, the tech was there!
Hi so it means that if I put other hardware instruments in the synth I will not be able to control them from the synth to record in Daw?
i’ve lost count on how many times i’ve watched this review of yours.
Thank you very much for making it. ;)
i’m opening its manual, here, heavily considering an acquisition.
Remember my SUB 37 vs Subphatty issue ?
With this keyboards’ pretty cool sequencer...do you think i should still go for the Sub37..or .. a Syrin or Subphatty connected to this, would give me most of what i’d have on the 37 ?
Sorry for keeping ‘bangin on the same key’, here.. :P
thanks
oh man there I was thinking a lot of people were watching this video and it turns out it's just the same person over and over again ;) The beauty of Sub 37/Subphatty is hands on controls and saving presets, so, no, I don't think this and Sirin would give you the same experience . Plus the Sub 37 is paraphonic, which I really like.
loopop hehehehe. :P Yeah..i’ve had a computer with this review in Loop mode..for a couple of months...hihihi
In deed...i wanted to get a hardware Synth because i wanted those physical interaction( knobs)..
I use 4 Mallets when playing my mallet midi controller, so, a 4 voice synth would also be cool.
Any suggestions..both software & hardware ?
Do u mind if i ask you what VSTs for the strings and piano, you used here.
i’m thinking of getting Komplete (i use Vienna Instruments) ..and their Monark soft synth sounds pretty good, imo.
thank you, man
V4D2 oh sorry I don’t remember what I used here - you watched the video more than me :) so if I don’t mention it I can’t be sure. Usually I use Una Corda or Arturia Piano V2, and for orchestral either Komplete or Albion One from Spitfire
@@loopop Yes, I was about to amend :
"_You probably won't remember, what VSTs u used."
Thanks very much.
The search for my central setup continues.
You've been a major helper.
Can I copy the contents of the internal sequencer to the DAW?
