Once you learn how to use the SL, you will never look back. LOVE the arp too, and the scales mode is unmatched in ANY product I've used. One is just for instruments, the other is for live itself. You use BOTH modes when you're producing in Ableton, both modes allow you to control hardware too. Or you will probably not understand the 2 modes actually work together, and your VSTs won't seem like they're mapping right to the knobs. Pay GOOD fucking attention, especially during the ableton sync and deep dive tutorials. I will say, before you judge it, WATCH EVERY FUCKING VIDEO ABOUT THE SL MK3 THAT NOVATION HAS RELEASED ON THEIR YOUTUBE. (If anyone has recs for good dancey/hip-hop hardware lmk in the comments) And fwiw I don't use hardware synths, but after finally seeing what this thing can do in the deep dive yesterday, I'm gonna buy some. It's not perfect, but it's the closest thing I've found to it. For instance, I could use a controller knob to control the cutoff on a virtual synth, or use the sliders as drawbars on a VST organ. This controller has an 'InControl' feature that allows you to toggle between functionality on the keyboards knobs and sliders. I say pull the trigger if this sounds good to you. Using a Novation Launchkey 49 MK2 as my controller and upgraded from Mixcraft 8 to 9. On top of that the unquantized record feature they added to the internal sequencer recently allows you to put your own swing on things and play without being locked to a step grid. zones allows you to play drums on the bottom half, and synths on the top, up to 8 channels can be mapped to zones.

The biggest feature is the ability to use hardware MIDI synths TOGETHER with softsynths, and the ability to set each synth up to a specific range of keys. Every feature is integrated STRONGLY with one another, it's STUPID intuitive, and once it's actually set up you will be able to open your live template, load up a VST onto the premade channels, and literally start producing. Like I almost never touch my mouse and keyboard anymore, the SL is LIGHTYEARS ahead of every other keyboard controller I've used. What this means it at any time you can either be controlling 8 channels in live (EVERY aspect) on the MIDI mode, and then all of lives clip/transport functionality as well. It allows you to use both the midi AND incontrol modes. even though I might buy one again down the road. I couldn't live without a Launchpad, but I could live with Push 2. Launchpads are really useful for Session View / clip launching and Scene launching. Or get the Launchpad Mini MK3 and the Launchkey MK3.

Launchkey MK3 is about $200, and the LP Pro MK3 is only $350. they're dope, in addition to an Ableton-supported midi keyboard. a Launchpad Pro (original) or Launchpad Pro MK3.

It's annoying, but you can definitely install a demo of Live Lite and get all the new scripts that way.Īnother thing you could consider, price-wise. This way you'll have all entirely new versions of the scripts, and support of the SL MK3 or Launchkey MK3. One thing you could do is install a demo of Ableton Live Lite (ideally 10.1.25 or so), and grab the MIDI Remote Scripts folder (ALL contents) and put all those folders in your Ableton 9.7 MIDI Remote Scripts folder. They only work with version 10.1.3 or above for the SL MK3, and the Launchkey MK3 I think requires 10.1.6. If you're using Ableton 9.7, I will say right up front that you won't be able to use the Launchkey MK3 or SL MK3 with it.
