The Novation ZeRO SL Mk II Controller is a full DAW and plug-in control surface
for live sound and studio use with visual feedback for all control information.
A giant 144-character display, backlit LED buttons, and LED ringed encoders show
the status of all controls. The groundbreaking Automap 3 PRO software gives you
ultra-quick mapping of all 56 knobs, faders and buttons.
The ZeRO SL Mk II equips modern DAW users with every dimension of hardware
control, enabling a hands-on approach to mixing, navigating software, and
controlling plug-ins. And the ZeRO SL MkII is an extraordinary value as a
controller—integrating a DAW control surface with the most intuitive plug-in
mapping capabilities available—presided over by Automap 3 PRO—arguably the most
advanced control software on the market.
ZeRO SL Mk II upholds Novation's reputation for building quality hardware. It
can be mounted in a 19" rack, or used as a desk-top controller, or angled for
performance using legs that are included with the unit. Quality is not just
reflected in their robustness, but more importantly in the way the ZeRO SL Mk II
has been designed with every detail calculated to maximize workflow. The ZeRO SL
Mk II's visually feeds back all controller information to the user with back lit
buttons and encoder LED rings, making it absolutely ideal for live performances
where parameters need to be identified instantly.
The difficulty with other control surfaces is knowing what is assigned to what.
ZeRO SL Mk II has a giant 144-character ultra-bright LCD screen that displays
all the parameter names and values for the currently selected row of
controllers. All 8 faders and 16 knobs are touch sensitive, so the moment one is
touched, the display shows the names and values on that row and puts brackets
around the controller that is currently being touched. This enables the user to
see which parameter is assigned to the controller without having to change the
value, or refer to their software. ZeRO SL Mk II also has a dedicated 'Speed
Dial' knob, which can be used to change the value of any parameter the cursor is
positioned over without making any assignments whatsoever.
The 8 continuous rotary encoders have 11 segment LED rings around each of them,
allowing encoders to behave like pots so the user can see the value before
moving them. All the buttons have LEDs underneath them so users can instantly
see their status without having to press them. There are 8 soft-feel drum pads
which are fully assignable to any parameter with the Automap software
ZeRO SL Mk II has been designed to draw minimum current so it can be used as a
USB buss-powered device, although an optional 9V DC power supply can be added
for stand-alone use. As well as USB interfacing, ZeRO SL Mk II has 1 MIDI in, 1
MIDI thru and 2 MIDI outs.
The power behind the ZeRO's unique ability to map controllers at the touch of a
button, is contained within the included Automap software. Automap 3 PRO enables
users to map controllers with incredible speed and ease—no more digging through
MIDI continuous controller numbers, the Automap server takes care of it all.
Automap's GUI gives the user a visual representation of all the current mappings
on screen, as well as the ability to save and manage mappings across different
projects. There is also an option to only bring up the GUI when a controller on
the ZeRO has been touched!
Illuminated controls provide
instant visual feedback
Brightly lit LED rings around the eight smooth encoders, and backlit buttons
throughout provide instant visual feedback for every physical control, further
reducing reliance on the computer screen.
Giant 144-character LCD screen
Frees the artist from being chained to the computer screen, placing all the
essential data right alongside the relevant controls.
Huge array of touch-sensitive controls
Full control surface supporting ultra flexible DAW control and Auto-mappable
plug-in controls, 16 knobs, 8 faders and 32 assignable backlit LED buttons.
Automap 3 PRO Control Software
61SL Mk II comes with Automap software which enables you to instantly map
software parameters to faders, buttons, encoders and pots and other controllers.
MIDI control interface.

complete control over all external hardware synths and other external MIDI
devices.
Novation's unique 'speed dial'
A touch-sensitive rotary encoder that instantly takes control of whatever your
mouse is focused on, providing real time access for composers and performers
alike.
Crossfader
ZeRO SL Mk II has a fully assignable crossfader making it ideal for Live
performance with programmes such as Ableton.
Programmable 'soft-feel' drumpads
Eradicates the need for a separate set of drumpad triggers, providing the ideal
platform for sketching out beats or triggering samples
Dedicated, yet fully-assignable transport buttons.
Control the sequencer's start/stop/loop/record/forward/rewind actions, direct
from the MIDI controller, reducing reliance on mouse and screen, or switch them
out to allow use of more assignable buttons. SL Mk II recalls how these buttons
were previously assigned.
USB buss powering
Provides the artist with a mobile MIDI control solution, freeing them from the
confines of the studio
Includes the Xcite+ bundle

Automap
Put simply,
Automap is a bit of software that enables you to assign parameters in
your sequencer and plug-ins with incredible speed and ease, to the
buttons, knobs, faders and other controllers on your Novation SL or
Nocturn.
Anyone who has used a hardware controller can testify to how time
consuming and awkward this can be - searching through hundreds of MIDI
continuous controller numbers and trying to match them with numbers
assigned to knobs on the hardware.
For many plug-ins, Automap enables you to simply touch the controller,
click on the parameter and its assigned! Novation controllers also
provide instant and comprehensive control over all major sequencers -
Automap even allows you to instantly assign almost any QWERTY or ASCII
keyboard shortcut to buttons and other controllers on the hardware: So
you can open and close windows, jump to locators in your DAW and make
edits without touching the mouse or keyboard!
Remembering which parameters are assigned to which controllers is a
problem of the past. As soon as a controller is touched, all your
mappings are shown on the computer screen via Automap's GUI, as well as
the LCD screen of the SL. You can also manage all your mappings from the
on-screen GUI; rename them, swap them around by dragging and dropping,
or even change the resolution of each control. If the GUI starts to
clutter up your screen, you can turn on the "Autoview" function which
only brings it up on the cressn when a controller is touched, then hides
it again after the controller is released.
This is a very broad introduction to what Automap3 can do. If you want
to read in more detail about Automap's features,

Automap 3 PRO software comes bundled free
with SL Mk II, and boasts the following features:
Intelligent control over all sequencers and VST/AU/RTAS/TDM plug-ins.
Automap 3 removes the pain and time involved in assigning MIDI
parameters, and all layouts are fully customisable.
Heads-up transparent control GUI
Places a transparent control map across your computer screen - see at a
glance how the parameters are automatically assigned to each of SL Mk
II’s controls.
Instant ‘learn’ function
Simply click on the software parameter and touch a touch-sensitive
control to assign it. Now you can re-assign every control in seconds.
Keystroke Assignments - Automap 3 can assign almost any computer
keyboard shortcuts to hardware controls. For example arrow key functions
can now be assigned to hardware controls, allowing you to flick between
tracks using buttons on your SL/Nocturn. You could also zoom in and out,
open windows or create and jump to markers in your DAW.
Innovative MIDI support within Automap
Name your parameters and store mappings for later use. The same heads-up
display provides quick and simple assigning of regular MIDI parameters.
This ensures SL MkII can also turn its hand to controlling the few
software application that still rely solely on the MIDI protocol.
Plug-in and Mixer Browser
Lets you review all open plug-ins, then quickly switch to control and
one of them. Mixer 'MIDI maps' can be created, saved and recalled via
the same map browsing facility.
Autoview Mode - Optional Autoview mode means that the GUI only becomes
visible when a controller is touched, then it disappears again allowing
you to get back to your DAW.
