Novation's second stab at the Remote Zero is a refined and much improved controller, perfect as a main mixer-style interface for your DAW or as an invaluable piece of performance hardware.
As with the rest of the Remote SL controller family, the Zero comes with Novation's incredible Automap software, which makes it a breeze to set-up the controller with whatever software and virtual instruments you're using. Point at whatever you want to control with your mouse, then touch the control you want to assign and that's you! Seriously, setting up a controller has never been easier. You'll also find all the controls that you would expect from this style of interface, with pads, endless rotaries, crossfader, faders with a whopping 60mm of travel, transport controls and plenty of buttons! On top of that, you also get Novation's 'Speed Dial' an intuitive control that lets you alter whatever parameter your mouse is hovering over at that moment. With 'Speed Dial', and Automap, Novation really are firmly on top of the easy-to-use controller market right now.
The Remote Zero SL Mk2 is perfect for stay-at-home studio bods and gigging digital DJs alike. It has all the controls you could possibly want from this type of controller and is remarkably easy to set up thanks to all the innovative software that comes bundled with it. Another winner from Novation!
ZeRO SL Mk II has been designed to give you complete control over your music making software. We have worked with each of the main DAW manufacturers to make sure each of the 56 knobs, faders and buttons control the things in your software that you need them to control. However, the really clever bit is that SL MkII can directly control your plug-in instruments and FX. The control surface is almost identical to the SL MkII keyboards, but it has longer throw faders (60mm) and a central crossfader. Weighing in at ???gms and being bus powered, it is already a firm favourite with performers.
What is Automap?
Automap is a piece of software that comes with all Novation controllers. It has been designed to make the job of assigning your hardware controls to various software parameters quick and easy.
In Control
Automap enables knobs, faders and buttons to instantly control plug-in instruments/FX, as well as your sequencer's mixer, transport controls and more…
Click, touch Its assigned!
Open a plug-in instrument/FX, and you have instant access to all the plug-in parameters. This allows you to assign knobs, faders and buttons, by simply clicking on the software parameter, and touching the control!
Assignable controls:
-
8 Encoders (Infinite Rotation) with touch-sensitivity and 11 segment Led rings
-
8 Pots (270 Rotation) with touch-sensitivity
-
8 60mm Sliders with touch-sensitivity

The central system buttons from the SL have been simplified; there is now:

-
Template and Edit modes have been combined into one edit mode, for editing both individual controls and overall settings within one Template
