Such unique hardware demands a special sound engine, which is provided by the 'Equator' software, which brings a hefty number of sounds that are designed especially with the Seaboards’ unique features in mind. The Seaboards are powered by the “5D” concept that can be summarized as “strike - press - glide (horizontal) - slide (vertical) - lift”, a truly revolutionary concept that enables an entirely new way of playing a keyboard, allowing for an unprecedented level of expression. The ROLI Seaboard is one of the most innovative instrument designs in a long time. Available in 25, 49 and 61-key (featured) versions. Ships with 4GB of Loopmasters content and three instruments for Ableton Live. A proven and reliable keyboard that won’t fail to deliver.

If you’re not really a fan of such “automated” approaches there’s no need to worry, as manually programming the SL MKII is quite straightforward both with the provided software or on the keyboard itself. Despite its great hardware feature set, much of the SL MKII’s power comes AutoMap, a software solution that automatically lays down AU/VST plug-ins parameters to the keyboard’s controllers. Finally, the SL MKII is fully bus-powered via USB (Type B) and equipped with MIDI (In/Out/Thru), sustain/expression connectors (2 x 1/4”) and DC-input for computer-less use. It’s also equipped with Novation’s trademark Speed Dial, a special encoder that will control almost anything under your mouse cursor.

The SL MKII series has it all: a very responsive Fatar keybed, assignable aftertouch, eight encoders, velocity-sensitive trigger pads, eight sliders, X-Y pad/joystick and a 144-character screen to show all the assignments. If any MIDI keyboard controller can be called a “classic” it’s the Novation SL MKII, which has been a recurrent choice among our members since its introduction in 2009. Available in 25, 49, 61 (with semi-weighted keys) & 88 (featured, fully-weighted keys) versions.Ĭlick for New and Used prices, user Reviews, more Info & Discussions. With an amazing build quality and so many great features it’s easy to understand why this controller is so widely recommended by our users, so make sure it’s on the top of your shopping list when you’re looking for your next keyboard. Since this is a Native Instruments product one might expect it to come with a good collection of virtual instruments - and that’s exactly the case! The Kontrol S series ships with Komplete Select, a library of eleven virtual instruments, ranging from acoustic pianos to cutting-edge synthesizers, organs and exotic African instruments - all with great sonics thanks to the Native Instruments pedigree. Needless to say that none of this would matter if the hardware wasn’t up to task, which is definitely not the case - this controller comes with fully-weighted keys, an acclaimed Fatar keybed (with aftertouch), two multi-function touch strips, eight top-quality encoders with an informative touch-strip, a transport control, assignable buttons, lights above the keyboard to indicate the many possible mappings, different play modes, and connectors for USB (Type-B) MIDI (In/Out), expression/sustain (2 x 1/4” TRS) and DC power. At the core of the Kontrol S series is the 'NKS' - aka the Native Kontrol Standard, which enables seamless integration between instruments and controller. Native Instruments are one of the very best (and most established) companies when it comes to virtual instruments, so it always felt like it was only a matter of time until they came up with a truly optimised keyboard controller - and this came to fruition last year with the Kontrol S Series keyboards.
