The NEW AlphaTheta SLAB has landed, and in this demo, OP Miller shows you how to build beats in Serato Studio’s first-ever dedicated controller — you don’t want to sleep on this one. See the AlphaTheta SLAB for yourself at Sweetwater! 👉 https://sweetwater.sjv.io/aOJYgq Engineered from the ground up to work seamlessly with Serato Studio, AlphaTheta’s SLAB is a no-holds-barred beat-making machine crafted to supercharge your production workflow. Across detailed Stem Level controls; explosive, touch-sensitive expression; evocative effects; and a range of multimode performance pads, the SLAB emerges from a time-honored artistic partnership between AlphaTheta/Pioneer DJ and Serato. The SLAB’s Serato-focused architecture goes beyond the prismatic production power of Serato Studio: it effortlessly integrates with Serato Sample, Serato DJ Pro, and the myriad possibilities offered via Serato’s Hex FX, Pitch ‘n Time, and sound packs. Of course, AlphaTheta understands that every producer’s workflow is unique, so it ensured that SLAB works as a fully assignable MIDI controller with virtually any DAW. As the SLAB is Serato Studio’s first dedicated controller, AlphaTheta methodically crafted every point of interface to maximize your control over Serato Studio’s suite of beat-weaving production tools, eliminating the need for menu diving and allowing you to keep your hands on what matters most: the groove.
