Critic Reviews

“The best MIDI controller setup isn’t about having more – it’s about staying connected to what matters”: AlphaTheta and Serato launch Slab, the first hardware controller for Serato Studio | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

AlphaTheta's SLAB controller for Serato Studio is a sleek entry-level pad controller that simplifies workflow with its intuitive plug-and-play design. It's particularly user-friendly for those familiar with Serato, offering a streamlined interface reminiscent of Akai's MPCs and Native Instruments' Maschine. The SLAB excels in its focus on essential features, with 16 velocity-sensitive pads and a handy Focus Control feature. However, its simplicity might not satisfy those seeking the depth found in more feature-rich controllers. While it integrates well with Serato's ecosystem and includes a full Serato Studio license, the price point of €299/$299/£259 might be a consideration for budget-conscious users.
