This 2-octave USB controller keyboard contains many of the
popular features from the ReMOTE series, with the addition of two
giant, brightly lit 144-character LCD screens which can display
16 parameter names and values simultaneously.
2 GIANT LCD SCREENS FOR DISPLAYING CONTROL NAMES AND
VALUES
Running along the top of the ReMOTE SL front panel are two
144-character screens, which can display up to 16 parameter names
and values simultaneously. This makes controlling in the dark a
thing of the past and does away with Template overlays or having
to remember the function of each control. It also makes
navigating though menus simple as each page is laid out side by
side and edited using the buttons or knobs directly below.
FANTASTIC NEW AUTOMAP MODE
This new intelligent mode is set to revolutionise the way you
make music! When an Automap-supported application boots up
(currently Reason 3, Cubase SL/SX 3 and Logic 7, with more on
their way), the SL loads up the Automap Template and all the
parameter assignment is done for you, showing you everything
clearly on the gigantic screens. All you have to do to switch
between controlling different instruments or areas of your
session is click once with the mouse or press one button on the
SL, depending on the application. Go to the Automap page here to
find out more.
8 MUSICALLY-RESPONSIVE TRIGGER PADS
Brand new to Novation controllers are these dynamic trigger
pads for sketching out beats or bashing out samples. Each pad can
be calibrated any way the user desires, with sensitivity and
assigned data both fully programmable. For example, the pads can
be set up as velocity-sensitive MIDI notes or buttons assigned to
a CC number, where the value of that number is defined by the
strength the pad is hit.
A SEMI-WEIGHTED KEYBOARD ACTION WITH
AFTERTOUCH
At the heart of the ReMOTE is a superb action, semi-weighted
keyboard with aftertouch. Unlike many controllers, you can play
your favourite software synth or sampler with the care and
precise control that can make a huge difference to the final
performance.
HANDS ON RESPONSIVE CONTROL FOR EVERY
APPLICATION
The ergonomically designed front panel is inviting and simple
to use. And it's all there - 8 rotary potentiometers, 8
sliders, 8 rotary encoders and 24 switches that are entirely
programmable. All controls can be named and memorised as a
collection with a group template name, then saved in any one of
the 64 template memories.
USE-ANYWHERE PORTABILITY AND RECHARGEABLE
POWER
The ReMOTE SL may be powered by six C-size
alkaline/rechargeable batteries or external mains PSU. When
connected to a computer via USB, rechargeable batteries are
charged without the need of a mains re-charger.
COLOUR-CODED IDENT STRIPS
With most controllers which feature 'soft
controls' you never know which knob or which button
controls which function. Not so with ReMOTE as it ships with
loads of handy coloured control ident strips which, when used
with the pre-programmed templates makes for easy and intuitive
control of the software application / plug-in. Additional strips
are also in the box for you to customise to your own
templates.
MASSIVE SET OF 64 TEMPLATE MEMORIES WITH OVER 60
PARAMETERS
To get up and running fast, the ReMOTE is shipped with over 50
user pre-programmed templates to control many popular hardware
and software instruments. In addition you can create and save
your own templates by combining any data from any preset.
X/Y TOUCHPAD FOR TOTAL EXPRESSION
Indicative of Novation's forward thinking design is the
touchpad. Being fully assignable and programmable in both X
(side-to-side) and Y (up-and-down) directions, stunning and
unique performance effects are just a finger-glide away. Imagine
setting a distortion amount and a pan position on the left to
right movement and an LFO speed and filter cut-off on the top to
bottom movement - total expressive and creative control.
DEDICATED TRANSPORT CONTROLS AND FAST TEMPLATE
FUNCTION BUTTONS
Total control over your sequencer's transport and locate
functions are yours via the dedicated transport and four function
button controls. Select a new template, scroll through templates,
send snapshots, transmit a panic command, etc. this kind of
instant flexibility will streamline your working practice.
BUILT IN USB / MIDI INTERFACE
Now shipped with both Windows and Mac OSX USB MIDI drivers,
just plug into the USB port, install the driver software and the
ReMOTE is fully operational. Alternatively if your computer
system does not have USB then simply plug into the MIDI ports.
The ReMOTE SL provides two MIDI Out ports, one MIDI thru port and
one MIDI In port. Information originating from the ReMOTE
keyboard or its controls can be sent directly to the USB port
and/or any of the MIDI out ports. The MIDI ports can be used to
integrate the rest of your MIDI gear into your computer
system.
