Novation releases ReMOTE SL COMPACT MIDI controller

Novation has released the ReMOTE SL COMPACT, the first keyboard to provide an affordable route to automatic, instant and intelligent control of all major sequencers and all automatable plug-ins.

The ReMOTE SL COMPACT features Automap Universal, Novation’s unique sequencer and plug-in control protocol, providing automatic control of any automatable plug-in within any sequencer. Automap Universal removes the pain inherent in old school MIDI control, leaving the artist free to enjoy making music. Simply open up a plug-in and watch the parameters appear on the SL’s screens.

Features
