Introducing the SL MkII SL Mk II has been designed to give you complete control over your music making software. We have worked with each of the main DAW manufacturers to make sure each of the 56 knobs, faders and buttons control the things in your software that you need them to control. However, the really clever bit is that SL MkII can directly control your plug-in instruments and FX (you also get an Italian made, semi-weighted keyboard mechanism). SL MkII comes with Automap control software What is Automap? Automap is a piece of software that comes with all Novation controllers. It has been designed to make the job of assigning your hardware controls to various software parameters quick and easy. [graphic showing faders/encoders/buttons assigned to frequently used software parameters] In Control Automap enables knobs, faders and buttons to instantly control plug-in instruments/FX, as well as your sequencer's mixer, transport controls and more… Click, touch Its assigned! Open a plug-in instrument/FX, and you have instant access to all the plug-in parameters. This allows you to assign knobs, faders and buttons, by simply clicking on the software parameter, and touching the control! Touch, click, its assigned! We know that producers, musicians and sound designers want hands-on control of their music software without the headaches that come with controllers. SL MkII uses Novation's Automap control software to solve these problems. With over 56 assignable controls, you need to be able to assign things quickly, and keep track of which knob, fader or button is controlling which bit of your software. Some DAWs/sequencers have their own 'learn' function, which allows you to quickly assign controls to things in the software. Automap allows you to 'learn' SL MkII's controls to all 3rd party plug-in instruments/FX too (like UAD, Native instruments, etc…) This includes VST, AU, RTAS and TDM format plug-ins.
