Not to say you couldn’t take care of all of that later. There are some limitations when it comes to tracking velocity, as the controller lacks velocity-sensitive pads, meaning you would need to make velocity adjustments directly in the program itself-if that’s something you need. It allows you to control a lot of features all from one place, and it is an excellent tool for Ableton Live. Maschine Jam has a high-quality step sequencer that can hold its own against any of the most modern controllers. It looks less like a keyboard and more like an old electronic game from the 1980s-but don’t let that fool you.
Instead of a keyboard, you’re looking at an 8×8 color click pad matrix. Maschine Jam is a good example of how much variety MIDI controllers can have. Now we’ll get to something that looks entirely different. If you work in Ableton, this controller will help you stay efficient and stress-free. Whatever you use, the Novation 49SL mkIIi will give you plenty of versatility and allow you to control your plugins and devices with a minimum of fuss. Simply plug and play, and easily control parameters within Ableton with the knobs on the controller. For one, the controller comes pre-mapped for Ableton. The main way that the 49SL MkIII shines is through its ease of use with Ableton Live. But for a controller this size, it makes sense that it needs a power source.
As such, it’s got just a little less portability than some smaller controllers. There are a few downsides there is, unfortunately, no USB-only power option, so you can’t power it just from your machine.
It’s also possible to divide the keyboard up into zones, assigning a spread of instruments to different keys (especially useful if you’re planning on using it for any sort of live performance). It’s got aftertouch and semi-weighted keys as, so it feels natural to play. It’s got a great set of keys-you’ll feel like you’re playing a classic synth. Fader and backlit pad controls give you a wide range of options. The controls are the same in either case.
There’s a 61-key version as well, for anyone who wants a slightly wider range-but for most, the 49-key will work for them just as well. It even comes with Ableton Live Lite loaded, in case you don’t already have it. Novation designed the 49SL mkIIi with Ableton users in mind.
