Members filtersweep Posted March 10, 2008 Members Share Posted March 10, 2008 Novation Remote series are about the best out there at their price point. Having the LEDs designating what you are controlling is a vast improvement over relying on memory or making overlay templates for every soft or hard synth you want to control. Remotes come with templates for many commonly used soft synths and daws. They don't come with any hardware templates but it easy to create them, as I have, for Virus and Proteus. Good synth feel to keyboard (much better, IMHO, than Axiom (which I also have)). Couple of small knocks: finding appropriate keybed response curve can be challenging and the pads, while functional, are small and hard as rocks, this is the one thing I like better on the Axiom.

However, these are small nitpicks on an otherwise great board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted March 10, 2008 Members Share Posted March 10, 2008 good keys are the most important factor. Best keys (synth-weighted) = Remote SL. I HAVE SPOKEN.

Members Birdienumnum Posted March 10, 2008 Members Share Posted March 10, 2008 Yep, the Novation SL 61 is the best out there at the moment. CME has great synth action too, but Novation has great action + great control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
