Today, July 18, Novation will give a live demo on how to map the SL MkIII keyboard controller to external gear.

The SL MkIII controllers, which come in both 49 and 61-key versions, are equipped with USB, MIDI in, out, and thru, two CV/gate and Mod outputs, three pedal inputs, and an analog clock out, making them perfect for controlling external hardware—they are also fully integrated with Ableton Live natively and any major DAW with the InControl software.

Novation’s latest Beats and Bytes episode, going live today at 4 p.m. PST, will demonstrate how to map the keyboard to external equipment. 

You can watch the livestream on Novation’s YouTube channel, with the livestream schedule below.
