From Our Research Team:

This MIDI Controller Shows You the Way!

This year's AES show has seen the unveiling of a revolutionary new product from Novation: the ReMOTE SL (Soft Label) 25. The 2-octave USB controller keyboard contains many of the popular features from the ReMOTE series, along with two major innovations.

Novation ReMOTE SL 25 MIDI Controller Keyboard at a Glance:
  • Two backlit displays show you controller parameter names and values simultaneously
  • Revolutionary Automap template automatically loads application components
  • X/Y touchpad, joystick, and a total of 56 assignable pots, encoders, sliders and buttons
  • Incredibly easy to use yet incredibly affordable!

Two backlit displays show you controller parameter names and values simultaneously
The first gigantic improvement on the ReMOTE SL 25 brings MIDI control to a new level of convenience, as well as giving the SL its name. Two large brightly-backlit 144-character LCD screens reside at the top of the front panel, which can display 16 parameter names and values simultaneously. This means that using template overlays (which get lost) or having to rely on your memory of what controls what are a thing of the past! Music creation and performance becomes as simple and pleasurable as possible. Furthermore, menu navigation on the ReMOTE SL 25 is significantly quicker as each menu page is now displayed side-by-side along the large screens for immediate access and modification. Of course, a stylish Template Editor software package is also available free of charge.

Revolutionary Automap template automatically loads application components
39 of the 40 onboard Template Memories on the ReMOTE SL 25 are factory preset (and also user programmable) so that the SL will work with all popular software applications, virtual instruments and external MIDI equipment straight out of the box. However, the remaining onboard Template is used for a new and special purpose, which is actually an infinitely expanding amount of Templates rolled into one. This cutting-edge feature, called Automap, might change the way music is made forever! When an Automap-supported application (currently Reason and Cubase SX3, Ableton Live and more with more to follow very soon) is booted up, the ReMOTE SL 25 automatically loads this intelligent template and maps all active components within the session to itself. Then, all you need to do is click once with the mouse or press one button to switch between controlling different instruments or sections of the session. Throughout the process, all information is displayed clearly on the ReMOTE SL 25 screens to make everything crystal clear.

X/Y touchpad, joystick, and a total of 56 assignable pots, encoders, sliders and buttons
As well as boasting the X/Y touchpad, joystick, a total of 56 assignable pots, encoders, sliders, and buttons and the "best-feeling keys on the market", the ReMOTE SL 25 also offers highly responsive trigger pads. These allow you to create even more dynamic performance effects, playing drums or chord stabs through a software sampler, for example.

Incredibly easy to use yet incredibly affordable!
You'll be astonished at the usability and revolutionary nature of the ReMOTE SL 25, in addition to the surprising affordability. This controller is a must-have for anyone serious about making or performing music and wanting the MIDI control process to be as painless as possible!

Novation ReMOTE SL 25 MIDI Keyboard Controller Features:
  • 25-key controller with extensive programming capability
  • Two bright, backlit LCD screens display parameters and values
  • No scribble strips needed!
  • Automap feature automatically configures application controls
  • 56 assignable knobs, encoders, sliders, and buttons
  • Dedicated transport controls
  • Great feeling keyboard action
  • X/Y touchpad and joystick

The Novation ReMOTE SL 25 gives you a new dimension of MIDI control!

i picked this item up only a few days ago, and it has already changed the way i do everything in my home studio. you can tell a piece of new gear is having an impact when it encourages you to either r... read more [+]e-arrange or buy new furniture to accommodate it.
The integration into reason 3 is seamless, even when running reason as a rewire slave in ProTools LE. From their website it looks like more software packages will me be supported in the future through firmware updates.
i would have given this a 5 except for minor contrast issues with the display. setting the contrast at one viewing angle (i.e. when sitting down) makes it almost invisible at another viewing angle (standing up) close [-]

This controller is money well spent. I initially bought a M-Audio Axiom 49 and it can't even compare even when I leave Automap out of the equation. All the controls respond beautifully in Cubase, Reas... read more [+]on (Especially, for Reason owners), and Live 5 (have not had a chance to work in Logic yet). The two screens show more than enough parameters and Automap trims a lot of the tedious work, along with the fact you can create your own Automap. Just so you know everything is not all peaches and cream with it, creating Automaps and templates could be easier, I would have prefered pitch and mod wheels,the screens are by no means BIG (not tiny either),the drum pads could have been bigger, and I should have bought the 61 key!!! But even through it all I couldn't take more than a half point from this Rolls Royce of MIDI controllers. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y! What does that spell? That's right. The keys on the ReMOTE SL 25 feel like the keys from a $3,000 German synth, and the knobs and buttons are designed for programmers and synth fanatics. The build quality will blow you away. My live performers and studio sequencers love this controller and I stand by it. You may also want to look at the Remote Zero SL, everything but the keys and all of the same qualtiy.
