Description

Essential Information About the SL MIXFACE Control Surface

  • Immediate and Customizable Control: 9 faders, 8 buttons, and 8 freely assignable potentiometers, with an OLED screen for clear visual feedback.
  • Wireless, No Constraints: Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy and AAA battery power (not included) for working away from the desk, both in the studio and live.
  • All-in-One Workflow: transport controls always available and quick switching between software and virtual instrument with a single press.
  • Integration Designed for SL Keyboards: magnetic attachment and instant control of 4 zones as soon as connected to an SL series keyboard.

A Natural Extension for the SL Range: From Performance to Mixing

The SL MIXFACE was designed as the ideal complement to the SL73/88 Studio and SL88 Grand master keyboards. While a master keyboard focuses on playing and expression, this control surface adds a tactile control layer dedicated to mixing, editing, and navigation. Its approach is simple: provide physical controls where the mouse slows down the pace, while maintaining a lightweight and quick-to-deploy setup.

Its real asset within the SL range is the direct 4-zone integration: plug it into an SL keyboard and it immediately aligns with multi-zone management, without lengthy programming. Thanks to magnetic adhesion, it installs neatly as if it were part of the keyboard, while remaining fully usable standalone with any MIDI setup.

Who Is the SL MIXFACE For and What Are Its Uses?

The SL MIXFACE is aimed at producers, beatmakers, film composers, and stage keyboardists who want hands-on control of mixing and virtual instruments. The 9 faders are perfect for managing levels, sends, effect returns, or synth parameters, while the 8 potentiometers naturally lend themselves to editing filters, envelopes, panoramas, and macros.

In the home studio, it allows you to keep your hands on the hardware and reduce back-and-forth between screen and keyboard. In mobile situations, its Bluetooth and battery power facilitate a minimalist workstation: laptop, headphones, and a control surface ready to manage transport, tracks, and instruments. On stage, it becomes a command hub to handle section changes, automation, stem volumes, or playback triggering, with transport functions always accessible.

Key Features: Assignment, Navigation, and Multi-Zone Control

A Complete, Readable, and Fast Control Surface

With its 8 buttons, 9 sliders, and 8 programmable potentiometers, the SL MIXFACE covers the essentials of modern MIDI control needs. The 128 x 64 pixel OLED screen provides immediate parameter reading and enhances the session experience: less hesitation, more action. The navigation encoder simplifies selection, page changes, and adjustments, making the surface particularly efficient whenever quick editing and focused listening are required.

Transport Controls Always Ready for the DAW

The transport pad is designed for continuous use: play, stop, record, track navigation, and marker management. This is a decisive convenience for editing and arranging, as you maintain direct control over the timeline without interrupting your creative flow. For mixing, it also means more natural automation takes, with real fader gestures and transport at your fingertips.

4 MIDI Zones and Presets: A Setup That Adapts to Your Production Style

The SL MIXFACE operates as a 4-zone MIDI controller, convenient for controlling multiple virtual instruments, a multi-timbral rack, or different sections of the same project. The 12 user presets allow you to prepare configurations by style, software, or live set, and quickly switch between multiple mappings. Compared to a standard control surface, the advantage here is being able to switch environments without laborious reconfiguration, while maintaining a coherent control logic.

Simultaneous Bluetooth and USB: Flexible Studio Connectivity

The SL MIXFACE communicates with the computer via Bluetooth and USB, and can use both simultaneously. This flexibility is ideal for adapting your setup: USB connection for power and stability, Bluetooth to free up desk space or avoid cables in a mobile context. The presence of a USB Host port adds integration possibilities in setups focused on MIDI control and routing, depending on your configuration.

Easy to implement, you just need to watch the online videos on the studio logic website to understand some subtleties that go beyond the basic manual in French. Very practical for the remote control of Camelot Pro and takes up little space on the side of the keyboard.
