Works with your sequencerDeveloped with major software manufacturers, SL MkII works with all major DAW/sequencers and instrument/FX plug-ins.

Turning MIDI control on its head
Why most MIDI controllers are rubbish:
Although they may have faders and knobs, assigning them to things in your software means digging through 100s of MIDI controller numbers. Or even worse, knobs and faders can only control a few basic functions.

Computer musicians often work with lots of plug-in instruments and FX. Keeping track of what your knobs and faders are controlling is next to impossible. So, you end up just using a tiny number of them, even if you have loads on your controller.


Why SL MkII is brilliant:
We have worked with the major software companies so when you want to control instruments and effects, you simply click on the thing you want to control, touch the knob, fader or button, and its instantly assigned! Mixer and transport control also work seamlessly in all major sequencers.  


You can also instantly assign knobs, faders and buttons to any VST/AU/RTAS/TDM plug-in using the same touch, click, assign system. So Native Instruments, Waves, FXpansion, etc can be instantly controlled!

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.

See exactly what you're controlling
SL MkII shows you exactly what software parameter you are controlling, and the value or amount:

• Touching the touch-sensitive knobs and faders, brings up names (and values) of whatever they are controlling on the giant LCD display.


• Automap's software edit page shows you a graphic of the entire control surface, with every control labelled, on your computer monitor.


• LED rings around the knobs instantly show the value of whatever they're controlling, and each button lights up when switched on.  


Works with your sequencer
SL MkII will give you transport and mixer control in all major DAW/sequencers. You can also get instant control of external plug-in instruments/FX (like Native Instruments and FXpansion which are not included with your DAW).
SL MkII will also give you instant control over major DAWs own plug-in instruments/FX - see below:

Overview
Introducing the ZeRO SL MkII


ZeRO 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. The control surface is almost identical to the SL MkII keyboards, but it has longer throw faders (60mm) and a central crossfader. Weighing in at ???gms and being bus powered, it is already a firm favourite with performers.  

ZeRO 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. 





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!
