The AlphaTheta Slab is a dedicated controller designed to unlock the full creative potential of Serato Studio, one of the most powerful and intuitive beat-making DAWs on the market. It's your new production partner; designed to streamline your workflow and help you turn creative ideas into polished tracks.
Just plug in the Slab, and the full version of Serato Studio unlocks for free, putting professional, hands-on production within everyone's reach.
Meet Your Ultimate Beat-Making Companion
The Slab’s design focuses on intuitive, hands-on control. Every pad, knob, and button is thoughtfully positioned to let you navigate Serato Studio with ease and efficiency. Whether you’re an experienced producer or new to beat-making, the Slab provides a reliable foundation for any creative approach.
Optimized for Serato Studio: The Slab isn’t just compatible; it was born to run Serato Studio. Its layout is perfectly mapped to the software's functions, giving you a seamless hardware experience that feels like a natural extension of your creative mind.
Precise Stems Control: With the groundbreaking Stems Level feature, you can use the four touch-sensitive encoders to finely tune the volume of individual parts of a track — vocals, melody, drums, and bass. This gives you an unprecedented level of real-time control, whether you're producing in the studio or performing live with Serato DJ Pro.
Versatile MIDI Mode: While it’s built for Serato, the Slab is no one-trick pony. Its general-purpose MIDI mode allows it to integrate smoothly with other applications like Serato Sample, Serato DJ Pro, and a variety of other DAWs, making it a flexible centerpiece for any setup.
Your Workflow, Supercharged
The Slab is designed to keep you focused on creating, with essential functions placed exactly where you need them. Spend less time clicking and more time bringing ideas to life.
Intuitive Transport Section: The transport section is the command center for your music-making process. It combines essential functions like play and record with a multifunctional dial for lightning-fast browsing and seeking, letting you scroll through sampled audio to find the perfect moment without missing a beat.
Focus Control Dial: Forget tedious MIDI mapping. The innovative Focus Control feature lets you manipulate third-party plugins just by hovering your mouse over a parameter on your screen and turning the dial. It provides instant, hands-on control over virtual instruments and effects, making sound design fluid and seamless.
Expressive Performance Pads: The 16 highly sensitive, velocity-responsive Performance Pads capture every detail of your performance. With dedicated buttons to switch between pad modes, you can instantly access features like Pad FX, where you can layer up to four effects simultaneously for dynamic, real-time sound shaping.
Long-Stroke Touch Strip: The 130 mm touch strip gives you expressive, hands-on control over parameters like filter, pitch, and swing. Its smooth response and clear RGB indicators make it a powerful tool for adding nuance and movement to your tracks.
Designed for the Modern Producer
The Slab combines a sleek, portable design with powerful visual feedback, creating an intuitive link between you and your music.
Clear OLED Display: A crisp OLED display sits at the top of the controller, giving you real-time information on parameter values and integration status. It's bright and clear, so you'll always know what's going on, even in dimly lit studios.
Touch-Sensitive Encoders: The four encoders are touch-sensitive, meaning you can simply touch one (without turning it) to see its current assignment on the OLED display. This small detail dramatically speeds up your workflow and lets you tweak sounds with confidence.
Compact and Portable: With a body smaller than a standard sheet of paper, the Slab is ready to go wherever inspiration strikes. Its sleek, 2-tone gray design isn’t just for looks; it clearly groups functions for intuitive operation, letting you set up a comfortable and powerful studio anywhere.
Flexible Connectivity: The included gray USB Type-C cable comes with both straight and L-shaped connectors, ensuring your setup stays neat and tidy, even when space is tight.
