49SL MkIII

The Novation 49SL MkIII is a comprehensive keyboard controller and sequencer designed to be the centerpiece of any music production setup, seamlessly integrating hardware and software. It goes far beyond a standard MIDI controller, offering deep integration with Ableton Live and other major DAWs, while also providing extensive connectivity for controlling hardware synthesizers, drum machines, and Eurorack systems. The 49SL MkIII features a high-quality, semi-weighted keybed with aftertouch, providing a responsive and expressive playing experience for seasoned musicians. The inclusion of an eight-track, pattern-based polyphonic sequencer allows you to capture your ideas and build complex arrangements directly from the hardware, creating a fluid and uninterrupted creative workflow.

One of the standout features of the 49SL MkIII is its extensive control and feedback capabilities. Each key is equipped with an RGB LED that provides instant visual feedback for scales, modes, and zones, making it easier to stay in key and manage complex performance setups. The controller also boasts a wealth of assignable knobs, faders, and velocity-sensitive RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch, giving you tactile control over your software instruments, effects, and hardware. With full MIDI and CV/Gate connectivity, you can bring all of your gear together, keeping everything perfectly in sync with a single, routable clock. This makes the 49SL MkIII an incredibly powerful tool for both studio producers who want to bridge the in-the-box and out-of-the-box worlds, and live performers looking for a central command station for their entire rig.
