The automapping feature is so intuitive and easy to use with Cubase, that it is actually saving me time. Having knobs and sliders usually means you spend as much time programming your CC and channels, but with the SL, you can get right to work.

There is a learning curve, simply because this is the first midi controller that you can actually "learn" like a real instrument. With this keyboard, you can finally compare Cubase to a Triton or Oasys, simply because it makes life so much easier.

The joystick feels a little odd, and I would like to see a metal casing. Other than that, the keyboard feels great, and the knobs and sliders feel confident.

This is by no means a budget controller, but this keyboard exemplifies the maxim, you get what you pay for. And with this, you get nothing but programming bliss.

its a controller keyboard it controlls synths or vst.

it has alot of features, jousticks, touch pads, rotarys faders.

the automap feature is nice, but it is still very host dependent; even with automap universal. Updating the remote sl's can be a hassle as well.

It looks nice, but it has that cheap chineese build quality to it. Three days after owning the remote sl the spring poped in the x/y controller. The shuttle controls also get stuck under the facia and the sliders have an inconsistent feel, some are smooth others gritty. The knobs feel as if they could break when jamming in the studio or live. The over all feel is one of flimsy construction. I have had this controler for about a year. It went back to novation to get the spring fixed in the x/y controller. Now it looks like its going back again for the spring releas slider on the bottom for the x/y controler. It is a great concept it just has that novation cheapie feel, just like their supernova line of synths. Great idea cheap construction and poor support.

After owning it i think i would have waited for the cme controller to come out where i live.

Had to have the controller serviced, it took forever.

i wanted on , im not so sure now.
