Forget mouse-clicking; the SLAB brings the raw feel of sampling and sequencing back to your fingertips.
Streamline your beat-making process with the latest production tools available at NLfx.
Seamless Integration & Focus Control
The SLAB is designed to remove barriers between your creativity and your DAW. It isn't just a controller; it's a key that unlocks the full version of Serato Studio the moment you plug it in—no extra license required. The intuitive "Focus Control" dial allows you to manipulate third-party plugins simply by hovering your mouse over a parameter, giving you instant, hands-on control without the need for tedious MIDI mapping.
Expressive Performance Tools
At the heart of the SLAB are 16 velocity-sensitive, multicolored LED performance pads. These highly responsive pads are perfect for finger drumming, sequencing, and triggering Pad FX. Complementing the pads is a 130mm long-stroke touch strip, which offers expressive control over filters, pitch, and modulation. Additionally, four touch-sensitive encoders provide direct access to the "Stems Level" feature, allowing you to individually adjust the volume of vocals, drums, bass, and melodies in real-time.
Visual Feedback and Design
Despite its compact, travel-friendly size (smaller than a standard letter sheet), the SLAB doesn't compromise on feedback. A crisp OLED display keeps you informed of parameter values and integration status, ensuring you can stay focused on the music even in dark environments. Whether you are in the studio or performing live, the SLAB adapts to your needs, also serving as a powerful accessory for Serato DJ Pro and Serato Sample.
