Overview
The ReMOTE SL MIDI controller is the first keyboard to provide automatic, instant and intelligent control of all major sequencers and all automatable plug-ins. The SL's two giant 144-character screens display up to sixteen assigned parameters at once, with the essential data laid out logically right before the user’s eyes.

Automap software ensures that little or no user setup is required. Sequencer controls are automatically mapped to the SL the moment the sequencer boots up, whilst all VST or AU parameters are intuitively assigned as soon as a plug-in opens. In addition, an instant click and control ‘learn’ function is available for quick custom assigning, providing personalised plug-in control.

In Automap mode, the number of controls is unlimited. In Manual Template mode, the 8 rotary potentiometers, 8 sliders, 8 rotary encoders and 24 switches provide a huge array of different assignable parameters. Eight velocity-sensitive trigger pads are also available, ideal for triggering samples or sketching out beats.

Novation’s pioneering Automap technology, the huge screen and an unrivalled control set ensure that the ReMOTE ZeRO SL is the only choice for the demanding, modern music maker in search of an intuitive MIDI controller with all the answers. With the SL range, artists are free to focus on what matter most – their music.
Automap Universal
Automap is Novation's unique sequencer and plug-in control protocol, providing automatic control of any automatable plug-in within any sequencer.Automap removes the pain inherent in old school MIDI control, leaving the artist free to enjoy making music. Simply open up a plug-in and watch the parameters appear on the SL's screens. Every plug-in is given a 'learn' mode for easy and instantaneous mapping of controls - simply click the software parameter, then move a hardware control to automatically assign. In addition, open up any major sequencer and the mixer controls, as well as many other session parameters, are instantly mapped to the ReMOTE SL. A single button allows you to switch between controlling different instruments and the mixer, with all names and values displayed clearly across huge 144-character LCD screens.

      Visual Feedback: "for DJs or touring musicians who rely on being able to tweak and select parameters at the back of a gloomy stage, its hard to overstate the importance of this development"

      The Speed Dial: "very clever and very useful"

      "better visual feedback from the unit, even more parameter control, a more rugged construction and enhancements to Automap... you can't fail to be impressed"

      "we tested the system and it (Automap) worked remarkably well despite our plug-ins being many and varied"

      "The SL MkII is a great keyboard and controller, but what makes it stand out from the crowd is the innovative Automap software, greatly simplifying the process of controlling any plug-ins and your DAW. The editor software has tons of features but is relatively easy to get to grips with, plus visual and tactile feedback from the hardware is good"

      "Anyone who has fiddled with MIDI maps will appreciate how quick and easy this makes the control process, and while its still possible to get into the gritty details of mapping, its likely that you won't need to"
    • Aaron Slater in iDJ - April 2009

      "Those familiar with the rack version of their Supernova synth will recognise the layout and graphic style. Each of the effects produces a wide range of sonic treats - they're stripped right back to the bare bones and really easy to use."
