The SL revolution continues with the official launch of the ReMOTE 25 SL keyboard controller and the announcement of two new, larger SL keyboards that together bring Novation's exclusive Automap technology to the world. The SL line - 25-key, 37-key (3-octave), and 61-key (5-octave) controllers - leaps far ahead as intelligent Automap technology integrates seamlessly with your favorite software automatically while logical layout, loads of knobs/sliders/pads, progressive design, and 3 sizes provide professional keyboard players with the number one solution on the market.
The ReMOTE SL line of keyboards has heralded a completely new era of MIDI control. It's the first controller keyboard that detects the software you are using in your virtual studio and intelligently "automaps" that software's functions and controls to the keyboard's own front panel knobs and sliders. In short, no more fiddly overlays or template programming; assignments are automatic, as they should be.

The ReMOTE 25 SL quite literally sets the world alight with two massive, brightly-lit LCDs, which can show 16 different parameter names and values to match with the fascia controls, so that the user knows exactly what all the knob and sliders are assigned to. These, combined with a wealth of additional controls plus an on-board memory for 32 templates, mean that any SL user is in total control of their software at all times. Also, SL keyboards feature Novation's exclusive Xpression Pad 4-point parameter controller and Xpression Stick for maximum performance options.

The ReMOTE 37 SL and ReMOTE 61 SL larger format keyboards complete Novation's already extensive keyboard portfolio which was itself recently bolstered by the addition of 4- and 5-octave controllers to the LE range, the company's compact series designed to run straight out of the box, plug-n-play style with a host of popular software packages. Like the SL extension, the larger LE controllers retain all of the original keyboard's features and usability and are a superb, simple and cost-effective controller solution.

The ReMOTE SL25 heralded a completely new era of MIDI control. It's the first controller keyboard that detects the software you are using in your virtual studio and logically 'automaps' that software's controllers to the keyboard's own front panel knobs and sliders, all at the click of a button. In short, no more fiddly overlays as the keyboard takes all the hard work out of assigning its controls to the software you are using.

Silly? No. Perhaps not fully realized. Yes.

What would be truely awesome would be a hybrid: a fully customizable touch-interface, above the main keys.

Now THAT would be sick :D

A new "ultimate controller" really needs to support opensoundcontrol, like that lemur touch screen thing. Not that it is competing with MIDI but supposedly the timing is better and you have more than 128 discrete values for the parameters.

I havent actually had a chance to play with it yet though, but reaktor supports opensoundcontrol.

I haven't been keeping up on new MIDI technology. But I am curious, what is the proposed standard to replace/advance MIDI? The standard itself is quite old, and even I can feel that 128 can get a bit limiting sometimes.

is Open Sound Control the new shebang? Or is it an alternative to MIDI geared for VSTi interaction?

beats and beeps
uhhh...not quite.

The ultimate midi controller would be closer to this http://www.cme-pro.com/products-list/product-vx.html
which has motored faders, and drum pads.

Motorized Faders = The

Once i touched my first digital mixing console... it's hard to go back to mixing audio with your mouse.

Having a real-deal feel of mixing makes it super nice.

That controller looks really cool. I don't really care for being able to upload stuff to it. But motorized faders are a super plus.
