Hi everyone,

I'd be keen to here any replies on this subject as well, afterdoing some research these are the controllers that seem to be looking to the future.... bit pricey though but I guess its just a matter of how much you value your time. Any real world experience with both the SL or the SL compact would be of great interest to me.

The novation ReMOTE 37 or 49 SL or SL Compact controller keyboards that is. I'd like to here from anyone who is using one with Logic Pro, Cubase and Reason. Thanks in advance.

Hey Guys,

I am running a Novation ReMote 37. I've only had it about a month. So far it is great. It comes with many templates, a whole CDR full, great midi learning, a two channel midi interface and is very solid physically. I have used it on Logic Pro 8, DP 5, Stylus RMX, plus several others. It is a bit pricey - it thats not a problem - I say go for it.

thanks DAN10,

Thats just what I wanted to hear, it reviewed well but I wanted to hear from someone using it in a real environment. You're right, it is a bit pricey but as I mentioned before; it's all relative, it depends how much you value your TIME because it sounds like the automapping and templates have the potential to save me a great deal of it. I had a play at my local music store and the construction seems solid and the action was good as well looks like i'll be giving the credit card a good thrashing
