AlphaTheta - Slab Music Production Controller

Engineered for Serato Studio’s Most Inspired Workflow

A refined transport section with intelligent Focus Control

SLAB’s transport section functions as the elegant command center of your creative process. Essential controls—play, record, seek—are seamlessly integrated alongside a precision-engineered multifunction dial for effortless browsing and navigation. Glide through sampled audio with exceptional speed and accuracy, locating phrases and nuances in seconds.
Focus Control elevates this further, allowing you to shape third-party instruments and effects directly from the hardware. Simply hover over any parameter on your laptop screen, and the dial takes immediate command—no MIDI mapping, no interruptions, just fluid, intuitive sound design exactly when inspiration hits.

OLED display and touch-sensitive encoders for elevated hands-on control

At the top of SLAB, a crisp OLED display delivers real-time feedback with clarity that stands out even in low-light studios. Just below, four premium touch-sensitive encoders provide instant access to EQs, stems, effects, and parameters in Serato Studio. Touch an encoder—without turning—and the display reveals its assignments, giving you a confident, streamlined workflow for shaping sound with precision.

Multicolor LED pads designed for expressive, instrument-like performance

SLAB translates performance into pure expression. Its 16 ultra-responsive Performance Pads feature velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, capturing every dynamic and detail. With the four dedicated mode buttons above the pads, you can instantly switch creative contexts, including Pad FX mode, where four vertical effect types can be layered simultaneously for immersive, real-time sound manipulation.
A vertically arranged application control section gives fast access to tools like Auto Set and Favorite, making sample chopping and loop slicing remarkably natural. Together, the pads and controls form a unified performance surface that keeps your creativity in continual motion.

A long-stroke LED touch strip for visible, expressive precision

The 130 mm long-stroke touch strip offers smooth, refined control over filters, pitch, FX levels, swing, and more. High-resolution RGB indicators give instant visual feedback, enabling accuracy and expressiveness that elevate both production and performance techniques.

Stems Level: refined control of individual track elements

When paired with Serato Studio, Sample, or DJ Pro, SLAB unlocks fine-tuned control over individual stems—vocals, melody, drums, bass—directly from its four touch-sensitive encoders. No more preparing separate tracks. This tactile, elegant approach to stem isolation not only accelerates production but also transforms live DJ performances, letting you blend EQ and stems with masterful precision.

Seamless Serato integration for professional-grade versatility

SLAB integrates deeply with Serato Sample and Serato DJ Pro, offering a refined experience across production and performance environments. In MIDI mode, it fits effortlessly into your preferred DAW while harnessing Serato Sample’s acclaimed engine. And as an Official Serato Accessory, SLAB expands your expressive range in DJ Pro, supporting setups that move easily from studio sessions to live stages with consistent, premium control.

Sophisticated design that transforms any setting into a studio

SLAB’s compact, A4-sized form factor makes it effortlessly portable, ready to elevate creativity wherever you are—at home, in the café, or on the move. The two-tone gray palette complements its clean, modern layout, while signature AlphaTheta touches—such as circular PLAY/REC buttons and an illumination bar inspired by Serato’s clip visuals—create an experience that’s both intuitive and aesthetically refined.
A matching gray USB-C cable with both straight and L-shaped connectors keeps your setup clean and adaptable, even in tight or travel-ready spaces.
