Novation ReMOTE SL COMPACT
- 49 Key Version
|
| |
Overview:
The ReMOTE SL COMPACT MIDI controller is the first keyboard to provide an
affordable route to automatic, instant and intelligent control of all major
sequencers and all automatable plug-ins. The SL COMPACT's giant 144-character
screen displays up to eight assigned parameters at once, with the essential
data laid out logically right before the user's eyes.
Automap Universal software ensures that little or no user setup is required.
Sequencer controls are automatically mapped to the SL COMPACT the moment
the sequencer boots up, whilst all VST or AU parameters are intuitively
assigned as soon as a plug-in opens. In addition, an instant click and control
learn function is available for quick custom assigning, providing personalised
plug-in control. The SL COMPACT's unique PAC (pointer-assigned control)
technology combined with its 'speed dial' also help to maximise efficiency
by providing tactile control of any parameter on which the mouse pointer
rests in Automap Universal mode.
In Automap Universal mode, the number of controls is unlimited. In Manual Template mode, the eight encoders and eight buttons with LEDs combine with eight Group select switches to provide 64 different assignable parameters. Eight large, velocity-sensitive trigger pads are also available, ideal for triggering samples or sketching out beats.
With its 25- or 49- key (2- or 4- Octave) professional, semi-weighted keyboard featuring aftertouch, the SL COMPACT upholds Novation's philosophy of designing real instruments rather than mere computer peripherals.
The SL COMPACT provides a truly focused and highly portable MIDI controlling solution through its dedicated transport controls, assignable pitch / mod wheels,
and USB bus powering. Novation's pioneering Automap Universal technology, the huge screen and an unrivalled control set ensure that the ReMOTE SL COMPACT is the only choice for the demanding, modern music
maker in search of an intuitive MIDI controller that won't break the bank. With the SL COMPACT, artists are free to focus on what matter most their music.

Reviews
Reverb Magazine review quotes
September 2007
vol 02 issue 05
"All in all, I was once again astounded with how well the SL Compact worked. Novation continue to stay on top of their game with their revolutionary Automap Universal system, constantly updating it to be as quick and easy for the modern music maker as it can. "
"the technology is in a league of its own, genuinely making music making much more fun."
"My advice: If you plan to do one thing this year to improve the way you make music, check out the SL Compact as soon as you can!"
PickUp Magazine review quotes
December 2007
issue 57
"With Automap Universal, you can, for instance, control all the Native
Instruments software synths, so FM7, Pro 53, Battery II, Kontakt II
and B4 all fall under your fingertips. I have used controllers in the
past that offer something similar but with card overlays to identify
what each rotary or button does in that particular set-up. While that's
quite useful, the ReMote is far better because the information is displayed
on the massive LCD that runs across the main bank of controls at the
top."
"I'm totally gobsmaked by the power I've discovered in Novation's ReMOTE
SL Compact but I don't want you to think (that in this review) I've
covered everything this system can do for you. If you use it for a week,
youll be an expert compared to me today.
A lot of musicians will probably use the ReMOTE SL Compact on stage
and in the studio too. To me, one of the strongest points is that this
system takes you 'out of the box' and back into the world of hardware
controls almost from the minute you plug it in. Point your mouse at
a drawbar or a filter and start tweaking the Speed Dial as you play.
Youll soon see what I mean."
Computer Music Magazine review quotes
September 2007
"The ReMOTE SL Compact will appeal most to those buying their first controller keyboard or looking to upgrade from an entry-level device."
"The LCD display is the crux of the 'Soft Label' system that the SL
tag stands for. In typical operation, the system automatically maps
the parameters of whatever plug-in you're currently using in your DAW
onto the display, for tweaking via its controls, so you don't have to
manually remap them yourself all the time. You can create custom templates,
should you wish, but thanks to Automap, most users will never need to."
Music Tech Magazine review quotes
October 2007
"As a basic MIDI controller, the ReMOTE 49SL Compact does a good job: the keys have nice action and Novation has not skimped by omitting aftertouch, a failing of many similarly priced MIDI controllers.
This makes the Compact a joy to play and a serious controller for hardware devices, which cannot take advantage of the AutoMap function.
The velocity-sensitive pads are arranged in two rows of four, which we found easier to use than the single row of eight found on the original SL models."
"Once it's up and running, the ReMOTE 49SL Compact and the AutoMap software
is a dream to use."
Future Music Magazine review quotes
Autumn 2007
"It packs much of its more-expensive brothers power but for a wallet-hit thats designed to take out the less feature-some competition."
"Best new bit is the Speed Dial (top left) and Template Select buttons,
replacing the SL's fiddly Multifunction Data dial. Being able to point
at a parameter with your right hand and twiddle it with your left is
brilliant.
"We're pleased to say that the Compact worked exactly as we expected
it to.
The LCD screen, with its wealth of templates all ready to rumble, is as revelatory as it ever was. The Compact is the cheapest way in to the SLs world of 'soft labeled' controller joy.
And once youre there you wont want to go back."
