Overview
Novation haven't just re-written the book with the ReMOTE controller - they've ripped it up and started again. They've made it truly portable, being mains or battery powered, they've given it one of the best semi-weighted keyboard actions around, they've engineered a programmable pitch/mod/control wheel which is a delight to use, they've integrated a cool 'touchpad' for wild performance effects and they've included dozens of pre-programmed templates for the most popular software plug-ins and traditional hardware instruments so you can use it straight out of the box. ReMOTE -- nothing can match this cute little tool for features, usability and value.
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 favorite 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 memorized as a collection with a group template name, then saved in any one of the 64 template memories.
Use-anywhere portability and rechargeable power -- ReMOTE may be powered by six C-size alkaline/rechargeable batteries or external mains PSU. When connected… read more to a computer via USB, rechargeable batteries are charged without the need of a mains re-charger.
Color-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 colored 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 customize 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 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.
