SLAB is a dedicated MIDI pad controller built to supercharge Serato Studio, turning a laptop into a fast, hands-on beat workstation.

A focused layout keeps production flowing, with a transport section for play, record & navigation, plus a multifunction dial with Focus Control for tweaking plugin parameters on the fly. An OLED display, 4 touch-sensitive encoders, and 16 velocity- & aftertouch-enabled RGB pads make chopping samples, triggering drums & riding Pad FX feel direct, expressive & musical.
