OVERVIEW The AlphaTheta SLAB MIDI Pad Controller For Serato Studio is a dedicated hardware pad controller that unlocks Serato Studio as soon as it’s connected. It blends tactile performance with versatile production control, offering responsive RGB pads, an OLED display, touch‑sensitive encoders, a multifunction dial, and an expressive touch strip for hands‑on beat creation and intuitive music production across platforms. Optimized for Serato Studio Workflow: SLAB unlocks Serato Studio instantly upon connection, giving you full access without additional setup. Its design ensures producers focus on creativity, not configuration. The layout emphasizes workflow efficiency, letting you move seamlessly between sampling, sequencing, and performance. Transport Section & Focus Control: The transport section serves as your operational core with play, record, and seek functions. The multifunctional dial allows fast browsing through samples, stems, or loops. Focus Control lets you manipulate third-party plugins directly from the hardware, eliminating tedious MIDI mapping and streamlining sound design. OLED Display & Touch-Sensitive Encoders: Four touch-sensitive encoders provide immediate control over EQ, effects, and individual stems. The OLED display shows real-time parameter values, so you always know what you’re controlling. This feature speeds up production while keeping hands-on workflow precise and intuitive. Velocity-Sensitive Multicolor Pads: SLAB’s 16 RGB pads capture every nuance of performance with velocity and aftertouch support. Dedicated Pad FX mode allows layering up to four effects simultaneously. The pads, combined with application controls, enable fast sample chopping, loop slicing, and real-time creative expression. LED Long-Stroke Touch Strip: The 130-mm touch strip provides expressive control over filter, pitch, FX level, and swing. Its RGB indicators deliver high visibility, allowing precise manipulation during production or live performance. Stems Level Control: With compatible Serato software, SLAB allows hands-on adjustment of individual track elements, including vocals, drums, bass, and melody. This level of control simplifies mixing and performance, providing freedom without preparing separate tracks. Versatile Integration: SLAB supports Serato Studio, Serato Sample, and Serato DJ Pro while also functioning as a general-purpose MIDI controller for other DAWs. This flexibility ensures it adapts to home studios, live setups, and diverse creative workflows.
