Comments about Novation 61 SL MkII 61-Key Remote MIDI Controller:
I had a M-Audio Axiom in the past. Now I'm rediscovering what is a great desk MIDI controller. The feeling is really perfect. The software is really easy to use. It looks great. It's intuitive. A really great MIDI keyboard. It's sometimes hard to program some custom mapping for the plugins and softwares but I see that as a bonus to be able to adjust everything from the computer with the keyboard.

Comments about Novation 61 SL MkII 61-Key Remote MIDI Controller:
Its a sturdy keyboard that has stood up to the 2 months of work I've put into it since I got it. It's great for bigs and wonderful for working in ableton. I often switch between ableton mode and automap mode controlling various vsts.

Comments about Novation 61 SL MkII 61-Key Remote MIDI Controller:
I use this in my bedroom studio. I control my softsynths and DAW with this. I almost have no more use for my mouse using automap. It's nice using faders to mix instead of a mouse. I wish it had a 9th fader for a dedicated volume control, and for drawbar usage in B4II.
