Enter the AlphaTheta SLAB. “Slow, Loud, and Bangin’” — that’s the SLAB acronym, but don’t let the ”S” fool you; this dedicated Serato Studio controller is built to breeze through beats of every style, from the ‘perfectly imperfect’ in-the-pocket grooves to the blistering finger drumming that would make the likes of Fred again.. blush. Featuring expansive pre-built supports, streamlined transport options, and a Serato-optimized Focus Control, intuitive production seamlessly supercharges any DAW-based workflow, custom-built with Serato in mind. With 16 LED-backlit performance pads, touch-sensitive continuous encoders, a vivid OLED display, and a long-stroke touch strip for explosive expression, the AlphaTheta SLAB supplies potent hands-on support in style.
