I hear Ashra + T.D. + Ron & thats just the first 5 Mins :) - As a recent buyer of this most amazing controller, please continue this teaching. As you know there are not many tutors out there exploring the potential. My old gear is itching to get a new life exploration (X2 M1R, X2 CASIO FZ1 SAMPLERS, YAMAHA FBO1, YAMAHA XG-50, EMU2500, X-STATION) & the Hologram looks like a must have addition. I use Valhalla VST ATM & I'm looking into other plugins that might copy the style. Thank you for the influence.
With the current mk3 hardware, new firmware could really lift this controller to where it deserves to be: the top of the marketplace. There are so many simple, obvious enhancements that cry out for a firmware update. Come on Novation! And if Novation itself won't do the legwork, why not open source the firmware source code and let people with more commitment to the keyboard move it forward?
hi Ron, is it possible to run multiple patches on the SL from one synth ? basically, do a sequence with a patch, then "Add a layer" and sequence another patch from the same synth...i cant seem to find this info anywhere on the SL...thanks !!
Good video. I bought the Novation launchkey mk3 61 last year because I didn't want to spend the money on this keyboard. I am kinda regretting that decision not because the launchkey mk3 61 is bad it's actually quite good but the extra features and the sequencing of the SL mk3 is really nice. I understand that it can output multiple midi channels is that right? Would you buy this keyboard today in 2024? Are you still using it? Is there any better options out there nowadays? I am using an iPad pro with Loopy Pro as a live looper/DAW and its fantastic but I am wondering if this keyboard or a similar one would improve my life. What do you think?
@@petermatos4613 i personally love it, more or less it is 8 circuit workflow sequencer tracks. I dont know other controllers so id say look through manuals and yt videos covering the controllers you are interested in. I have tons of other gear so this is pretty limited but i like working with different limits which breeds different results
@@petermatos4613 no i didn't say i no longer use it. Its my main midi keys :) but i probably make different music and my own workflows i would always encourage to look at all other gear as well before making decision. It seems novation gave up fast on firmware update years ago
@RonCavagnaro @RonCavagnaro so you are currently still using it for your midi keyboard. That's good to hear. I have been looking at the other options available and so far this still looks like the king. There just doesn't seem to be anything like this out there complete with the sequencer and led displays and pads sliders buttons etc. It just looks like it can do it all. Do you find that there is anything that it can't do that is a problem?
Whoa! Thanks for watching! Don't forget to check out the other videos for the novation sl mk3!!! ruclips.net/p/PLQvVnhG7o2yTXGaPeWosFmKpuLZrYRb_0
Thanks Ron , always appreciated getting additional information on the SL , some guys are just slow learners !!
Yeah no problem! I think I'll keep making these they're fun
I've Liked this already, but have to say in my opinion Novation owes you a paycheck, sir.
Thank you!
Haha they have not paid me a cent, but thank you!!! Very encouraging words

Thanks so much! Valhalla plugins are probably the best for reverb. I went all hardware so I'm not a good one to ask lol
Nice tool. Thanx for the vid.
you are just so cool, using all the features on sl mk3, i really cant imagine and where to start i should learn, because im a guitar player
Start with basic sequencing Pt 1. I'm a guitarist too let me know what you don't understand
Thank you

Yes just choose your midi channels from I think shift+session page? I think. Try it
Hi Ron - these are great, placing my order for this! Do you have a video on real-time sequencing on the MK3?
Not sure what you mean real time sequencing...?

So you are saying that you no longer use it that much then? What is it that you replaced it with?

@@petermatos4613 i use it with many other gear , i don't find it lacking but some people struggle with it but not sure why
what is your OTB setup for sequencing external instruments and effects?
Deluge, but sl mk3 can be my second tier sequencer which also goes into deluge
@@RonCavagnaro do you have any vids that go over using the deluge to trigger external devices or external sequencers?
@@xisotopex I'm sure I do, look through my videos and playlists
