Product Overview

The Ultimate Command Center

The 61SL MKIII is engineered for producers who need an expansive playing surface combined with deep hardware integration. It acts as a bridge between digital and analog worlds, allowing you to sequence Eurorack via CV/Gate while simultaneously controlling your favorite software plugins. With its 61-note range and high-resolution visual feedback, it is built to handle the most demanding musical arrangements.

Product Description

Advanced 8-Track Sequencing:

The SL MKIII features a powerful internal 8-track polyphonic pattern-based sequencer that lets you build full tracks without looking at a computer. You can record in real-time or use step-input to create intricate patterns. The system also supports parameter automation, allowing you to record knob movements directly into the sequencer to add dynamic evolution to your hardware and software sounds.

Total Hardware & DAW Integration:

Designed for total connectivity, the keyboard includes two sets of CV Pitch, Gate, and Mod outputs, plus a dedicated Analog Clock Out to keep your entire hardware rig in sync. For software users, it offers flagship integration with Ableton Live, as well as deep mapping for Logic Pro and Reason. Five high-resolution color LCD screens provide clear visibility of your tracks, parameters, and mixer settings at all times.

Expressive Playability and Navigation:

The 61SL MKIII boasts a premium, individually sprung semi-weighted keybed with a 10kHz scan rate for an ultra-responsive playing experience. It features 16 velocity-sensitive RGB pads with polyphonic aftertouch for expressive beatmaking and clip launching. The on-key RGB LED feedback serves as a sophisticated light guide, instantly indicating active scales, keyboard zones, and sequence patterns.
