Novation Remote SL25

This product is no longer avalible to buy.

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 & 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-Antwhere 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 Parametres

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.
