AlphaTheta SLAB MIDI Pad Controller with Encoder Wheel / Stems Serato Studio

SLAB is the first-ever MIDI pad controller that puts Serato Studio’s sampling, sequencing, and performance capabilities directly into your hands. It brings the raw instinct, feel, and speed of beat-making back to its elements.

SLAB’s transport section includes essential functions, such as play, record, and seek, and a multifunctional dial that enables faster browsing and seeking. 

One of the dial’s key features is Focus Control, which you can use to manipulate third-party plugins, such as virtual instruments and effects. 
When you use SLAB with compatible Serato software, including Studio, Sample, and DJ Pro, you can use the Stems Level feature to finely tune the volume of individual parts in the same track, such as vocals, melody, drums, and bass.

SLAB captures every nuance of expression in your performance. Its 16 Performance Pads are highly sensitive, responsive, and tactile, and they feature velocity and aftertouch support.
