I learned more in a5 minutes of your video that in 2 hours of reading the manual. The manual tells what something does, but not in a workflow sort of way as you did. I would have liked a bit more of "..now let's go to this mode by pressing xxxxx" as a couple spots were hard to follow, at least for me, because of those few omissions. This was great!
I appreciate it, and it was very nice encouraging words. Workflow is what I look for in all gear! It is the most important thing! I have tons of other videos on gear in the same format. Feel free to look around!
Awesome tutorial. Many thanks for this. Still trying to wrap my head around its connectivity potential / capabilities, but vids like this really help. Reduces the buyers remorse considerably 😁
Thanks. Great video. Am I right in thinking there is no step sequncing as in the KSP. So one cannot just enter notes one at a time and playhead records each one and automaticly moves to the next poition?
Thanks Ron, I don't have any hardware apart from the SL, so getting it to work by sequencing in the SL but controlling multiple VSTs through Ableton would be a real game changer for me. InControl's great, but then you don't get to use the sequencing on the SL.
@netyoda that's possible. Set every track with a vst you want to control to only receive input from 1 midi channel instead of 'all channels' in ableton, set the midi channel on the templates of each SL track to the ones you chose in ableton. Each SL track controls one (or multiple) VSTs
how does this compare to the keystep pro besides the size? could this be used to run a whole OTB setup? or is it more a software/daw controller with a sequencer slapped in there?
Awesome video! I also have this controller and didn't know it was possible to transpose. I bought a bunch of gear and have a lot to learn. Thanks a million ☺
@@xisotopex I use both, deluge as my main sequencer which has way less limitations, but I do use secondary sequencers because I get different results. Sometimes I want to just enter in notes with the remote sl and then record it in to deluge, because deluge has unlimited track length. This way I can time out things and even improvise the base structure easily in to deluge. Feel free to watch the deluge videos to see if it fits how you want to work. It's best for me, but always room to use other sequencers for different results, recorded in deluge.
@@RonCavagnaro I have watched some of your deluge vids, helped me get up to speed on it. haven't used the sl mk3 for anything but a midi keyboard so I have to decide if I am going to keep it or not. definitely going to keep the deluge.
1. More than Sixteen steps: Chain patterns. Hold first pattern press the last one you want it to loop. 2. Quantize on off: Shift and record to quantize, shift record to record microstep, each pad will have six microstep.
I think there is everything i need for sequencing. Only one thing im looking for, but i dont find on any sequencer... When you hold a pad to place a pressed note in the sequence. Do you have an option to pre-set the note length or it will place a short note length? If you want to place the notes with longer lengths you have to set one by one for every step afterwards? Or the sequencer can analyze how long you hold the note while sequence playing?
Thanks for making these my guy. I recommend any one watching to examine his tutorials in reverse and consume at a macro level. Very helpful I can’t wait to try out your discoveries! I noticed when you do pattern view shift you ping pong against 3 sequences. I can see 3 other sequences being VERY LONG while they are “generative and very low probability to play” and you doing your movement of “unpredictable triples” I myself would not CAKE everything with reverb lol, BUT I WILL ADMIT I would burn everything by having the resonance self oscillating ALL THE TIME. I am evil too just not exactly the same evil. Is it illegal for me to ask why you made these tutorials? I hope you consistent and ongoing success to any adventure you want to try out.
Thanks haha I use reverb so much because I'm into shoegaze/dream pop type genres. Not sure if that would be considered as evil haha! Why did I make the tutorials? Because people like them and RUclips pays me!
I have not experienced this. I am using my deluge to be the master clock however. I haven't had any problems with this. It's really great but I do recommend considering using another sequencer to get by the limitations of the keyboard.
@@RonCavagnaro I appreciate the response. I am a music teacher and would definitely use many features on this. I just hope I don't buy this then Novation comes out with a MK4 next year lol.
Amazing video!!!! I literally just received my 49 SL MKIII yesterday. I feel like someone handed me the keys to a submarine and said take it for a spin lol...... I'm trying to link this to my Akai Force, but have yet to be successful. Any insight on the pairing would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
This is a very subjective question. There is no best, only what works best for you. I really enjoy it, but it does have limitations. Feel free to watch the other videos on it to see if it fits within your workflow. Thanks!
@@anonymous_friend midi itself has 16 channels, this gear can only send 8. I doubt many controllers can handle 20, I only know what I own. Sorry about that!
@@RonCavagnaro No worries. I'm just trying to absorb as much information as possible before I make a purchase. The mk3 was released several years ago, so I feel like an update is necessary. Someone should be able to make a flagship controller capable of anything you can imagine.
@@anonymous_friend I think it's pretty complete I'm not sure if they're going to release any more, if you're looking for more features keep looking but I don't know what's out there.
@@andchi2000 wow that's bold statement! I have the legendary or remake release of it, hopefully same music and I'll listen in because your comment! But have a bunch of games to play before it!

Just wanted to say thank you for these videos. Plan on watching them all. Still learning (buffer overload) on what this controller can do.
Enjoy it is very fun gear
Thanks so much for this. Incredibly concise, well structured and competent tutorial from a small channel!
Simply amazing tutorial
Awesome tutorial. Many thanks for this. Still trying to wrap my head around its connectivity potential / capabilities, but vids like this really help.

Yes thank you keep watching the series it should help even more. If you need help let me know what I can help with! I loooove this gear.
IF you ever manage to wrap your head around all this beast can do, please do let me know...😳
yeah i just ordered one, i'm startin to fn panic lmao
Excellent tutorial, clear, informative and accessible. Thanks !

Thanks there is nothing like that, watch the videos I made to see how it works, it's superior in my opinion
Great Tutorial. Thanks for this.
I learned so much from this! Thank you!
Thanks for putting this together !!!
Perfect! I actually just picked up a 49 SL and This def will help speed up that learning curve :D
Glad to help! Don't forget to check the previous ones too there's some awesome tricks
@@RonCavagnaro Will do, coming from a keystep, just a tad bit of difference.
@@KipFox I don't own one but I think this might be way more features than the keystep!!
That keyboard is epic!

Yes the mk3 is really great! I use mine to record quickly into my deluge sequencer!
@@RonCavagnaro do you use the deluge as your main sequencer or this? I am trying to decide between various sequencers for otb...

@@xisotopex it's a really nice keyboard! Try out sequencing this way might as well!
How many steps can have a pattern pls? 16 or 64?
If you chain the 8 patterns at Max length. 64 per track
@@RonCavagnaro Thank You! Good job! 🔊
@@QuantizStudioRecords remember also there's sessions but you'd have to manually switch those, but there's a lot of potential with that!
I just got this and love but I can't find how to make it more than 16 steps. Or is that not possible. Also any quantize options
1. More than Sixteen steps: Chain patterns. Hold first pattern press the last one you want it to loop. 2. Quantize on off: Shift and record to quantize, shift record to record microstep, each pad will have six microstep.
@@RonCavagnaro Thank u sir. Highly appreciated
You have to hold the pad down and then play notes to step sequence? You can’t use both hands to step sequence chords ?
I think so if it's step sequencing like this
can the forwards/backwards/random be automated?
Hey bud, since these keys light up when touched, is there a piano tutorial thing wher you can use that feature to learn piano better
Hmm I don't think there is anything like that but I could be wrong
I think there is everything i need for sequencing. Only one thing im looking for, but i dont find on any sequencer... When you hold a pad to place a pressed note in the sequence. Do you have an option to pre-set the note length or it will place a short note length? If you want to place the notes with longer lengths you have to set one by one for every step afterwards? Or the sequencer can analyze how long you hold the note while sequence playing?
If it's step sequence you have to enter each note length manually but there is an option to change all by holding shift and turning note length.
@@RonCavagnaro Great!!! Thats enough for me! Thank you.
Good morning! How to return the device to factory settings. We don't have instructions. Thank you in advance.
Hmm no idea. Might want to contact novation

@@RonCavagnaro yea it seems lile their updates have been significant over the last couple years.

Thanks,
Hey thanks! Well I don't know force but if it can accept midi signals learn how it works it should be plug n play I would guess!
Can you sequence and layer Melodic songs? Not Step or Patterns…
Yes this was a basic overview for beginners
Can you sequence drums ??
Yes
@@RonCavagnaro thanks for the reply and video
@@armonic7956 thanks yes as long as you have gear that can be triggered by midi note it will work
@@RonCavagnaro will the sequencer trigger Ableton drum rack ?
@@armonic7956 if any thing you plug it in to can accept midi notes yes. So yes
Do you think this one match up good with your Deluge?
I use them both. I make patterns with sl mk3 and record in. Different sequencers, different results.
Is this the best controller sequencer available?
This is a very subjective question. There is no best, only what works best for you. I really enjoy it, but it does have limitations. Feel free to watch the other videos on it to see if it fits within your workflow. Thanks!
@@RonCavagnaro If I want to sequence a lot of midi instruments. Say 20. Does anyone make a hardware controller/sequencer that can handle it?

Let me know if you want me to tell you what I'm doing if you give me a time stamp
This would be so much easier to follow without the delay adding notes.
This was the first of a set of tutorials starting with very basic functions for absolute beginners what delay in adding notes?
Sounds like music from Mass Effect.
Ahh never played that (yet) but it's installed:)
