Take control of your DAW
The SL Mixface provides a dedicated hardware interface for controlling your digital audio workstation. In DAW mode, you get nine sliders for channel levels, eight rotary controls for pan adjustments, and multi-function buttons that can be assigned to record, mute, solo, or select duties.
Dedicated transport controls remain close at hand, helping you manage playback and recording without reaching for a mouse. The unit supports a range of popular DAWs, including Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton Live, Studio One, Reason, Reaper, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Digital Performer, and Pro Tools. This gives you a consistent hands-on workflow across different production environments.
Build a flexible MIDI control setup
Switching to Controller mode transforms the SL Mixface into a programmable MIDI command centre. Every slider, rotary control, and button can be assigned to MIDI functions, allowing you to customise the surface for synths, virtual instruments, effects, and external hardware. Four programmable zones make it possible to route control data to different destinations, complete with adjustable MIDI channels, key ranges, transpose settings, program changes, and bank selection options.
The SL Mixface provides two complete control sets, giving access to a total of 50 assignable MIDI controls per zone. This level of flexibility makes it easy to create a setup that matches your workflow instead of adapting your workflow to the controller.
Expand your keyboard's capabilities
The integrated USB Host port allows the SL Mixface to work alongside compatible USB class-compliant MIDI keyboards. Connected controllers can be transformed into powerful multi-zone master keyboards, with the Mixface handling routing and control assignments. When paired with Studiologic SL series controllers, the unit acts as a natural extension, adding programmable controls directly to existing programs and zone configurations.
This approach helps streamline larger setups by keeping performance, instrument control, and mixing functions connected through a single compact surface. For users who already own a MIDI keyboard, it provides an efficient way to add deeper control without replacing existing equipment.
Connect wired or wirelessly
The SL Mixface is designed to fit into a variety of modern production and performance environments. It can be powered through its USB connection or by three AAA batteries, making it suitable for desktop use and portable setups alike. Bluetooth MIDI connectivity enables wireless communication with computers and compatible mobile devices, allowing you to control software instruments and applications without additional cables.
The SL Mixface also includes MIDI Merge functionality, enabling MIDI data from Bluetooth and USB connections to be combined and routed to other outputs. Alongside USB Device and USB Host connections, these routing options provide the flexibility needed for complex studio configurations and mobile music production systems.
