Finally, recording in the dark is a thing of the past. The SL shines a light on the murky world of MIDI control by providing 2 giant, brightly lit LCD screens alongside an intelligent Automap mode*, which detects what instruments you have in your project and intelligently and logically maps the controls to the SL's front panel.

6 out of 10Feature:
All the features you need other then a up, down, left, right and motorized faders. I have Live 6 and it works great with just wish they made another ableton automap like the Mackie Hui automap. I also have Cubase sx3 and it automaps great with it but I haven't found out how to call up my effects and edit them with the controller. I got my mute, solo, volume and a few others down so far. If you can't afford a Mackie Universal or something like it this is the next best thing. Make sure your controller has a lcd that makes it soo much better.
Quality:
Seems ok so far since I have had it.
Value:
Lcd's, lot's of buttons and it automaps!!!
Desirability:
Great design in the product something that looks and feels like a well made controller.
Sound:
It doesn't make any sound
Ease of Use:
I tried macking my own automaps and sending and receiving them and erased a few automaps. I had to re-install version 2.0 again then update to version 2.5.00 again. Its easy to use just pay close attention when swapping automaps and macking adustments to them.
Support:
E-mailed asking for help with my missing automaps and I still haven't got a reply. Thankfully I used another computer to downgrade and upgrade my os again. My couldn't couldn't find my sl during the update for some odd reason.
Overall:
Even if I get a Mackie Universal I will still keep it and use it with my synths and stuff while the mackie does my mixes and stuff.
yes
no
