General

The allure of the 61 SL MKII is the unique feature that allows you to put all controllers in one file and activate them with just one button press. Automap 3 Pro ensures that the connection between the software and the 61 SL MKII is fast and flawless. What this means for you is that you don't have to dig through all of the functions and settings in all of your MIDI control channels. Automap 3 Pro gives you a visual indication so you know which controller is assigned to which button, fader, or rotary knob.

The 61 SL MKII also has the speed dial function from the Nocturn, which ensures that every function of your VST, VSTi or DAW is automatically assigned to one of the SL MKII's buttons.

To complete the picture, you also get a producers pack consisting of Ableton Live 7 Lite, Novation Bass Station VSTi, 500 MB drum loops by Mike the drummer, and a Loopmasters sample library with 1 GB.
