I have owned this controller for nearly 2 years now and absolutely love its very well thought-out integration with Ableton live. The RGB lighting is a pleasure to look at, the pads respond very well for velocity-sensitive finger drumming and the keys, even though semi-weighted, feel very natural to play. I never realized how much time I spent away from the guitar/keys and messing with the computer clicking things and breaking my musical concentration. This thing _really_ makes a difference with its Ableton integration for being able to stay the heck away from the keyboard and mouse. The reason that I am writing this review, however, isn't to praise the controller - it has enough of that already. The reason I am writing this review is to commend the absolutely AWESOME customer service at Novation. Through a series of unfortunate circumstances I have had a few of these in my hands now and only one of them was due to an actual malfunction. When one of the sliders wouldn't hold a zero (after about a year's use) midi value at the very bottom of its travel, Novation set up a remote meeting with a tech where he installed a midi monitoring application and worked with me remotely to confirm the hardware fault. The unit was replaced with a refurb in great condition. About a year later the unit I had sustained some physical damage and I reached out to seek repairs. After a conversation with customer service - and I need to add here that they were very responsive, no more than a day turn between correspondence - they once again advised me of the options and I chose to go the refurb way. When the 2nd refurb arrived, it was in significantly poorer condition than my first one. I reached out to Novation again, this time not expecting much, since I needed a replacement through no fault of theirs and thought it would be completely fair to tell me to just deal with a well-loved unit. After sending some pictures and video detailing my concerns with the condition, the customer service representative worked with me to get a brand new unit (for a price obviously, but the refurb price). I have been, throughout, very impressed with Novation's customer support - responsive, knowledgeable and actual real people you can talk to about your gear. They really stand behind their product. That's something I really respect and is sadly not as frequent these days as one might wish. If you are looking for a feature-rich, affordable (as far as music gear can be) and enjoyable MIDI controller (with very intuitive Ableton integration) this should already be on your radar. If you expect or at least hope for great customer service, where a real and competent human being is on the other end of the communication - Novation is a great choice.

I've had this for about two weeks. I am still in learning mode for Live, but have used DAWs in the past (primarily Cakewalk Sonar). The integration with Live is just amazing to me. I still don't understand some things about the SL, and I haven't touched the sequencer (since I use Live for that), but the five colour LCD screens are very well done in terms of controlling soft synth/efx parameters. The only thing I wish was a little different is that the transport controls are waaay over there on the right (I'm left handed). It's a bit spendy for a controller but for my needs it's totally worth the price. Novation has knocked it out of the park with this. (It's my first Novation product purchase...)

Key bed is great, zones can be changed on the fly minus the name of them. That can be edited on the app later on. I'm using it with my Kronos and Perform VK. The color coding makes it easy to remember which zone you are using and what it controls. I'm not using the CV yet but when I'm ready I can add an analog mono synth. I'd highly recommend this one.

Lots of features at a great price. I can't complain. The only reason it's not fully plug and play is cause you need to run a setup script for certain DAWs, but if you're using Ableton, it's literally plug and play. My only complaint is that it needs a power adapter and for that, I knock off a star. Come on, Novation. You could've made it USB-C if it needed that much power and spared me my precious power strip space with your giant brick of a plug.

This thing does what it says it does and it does it very well! Still exploring it in my studio setup, but have been very impressed with it.

I’ve used Novation since the K-Station was launched. Great company, great products. Robust, reliable and feature-rich. Excellent value for the money!

Nice controller. If it is anything like the old sl keys it should last a long time. Able to control more devices simultaneously than most people will ever own!

For such a complex keyboard the 33 page manual downloaded from Novation's site was less than useful. If you are not already familiar with the capabilities of this keyboard the manual is not going to be much help. Novation's "getting started" videos weren't much help either. As far as rating this device, one of the questions asked me to give a star rating for the "thickness". Why?
