New Arrival

The world’s first dedicated Serato controller has landed!

It’s not every day something groundbreaking happens in the world of beat-making and digital music production — but AlphaTheta has just unveiled SLAB, the first hardware controller ever developed specifically for Serato Studio.

SLAB sets entirely new standards for workflow, speed, and creativity. It does something producers and DJs have long been dreaming about: bringing Serato’s sampling, sequencing, and performance features directly into a physical, intuitive controller.

SLAB is the first MIDI pad controller designed specifically for Serato Studio. Developed in collaboration between AlphaTheta and Serato, it’s true “native hardware” for the Serato ecosystem. The goal: to bring the feel, instinct, and speed of beat-making back to the core elements — sampling, sequencing, and performance.

16 velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive RGB pads

Velocity support and adjustable aftertouch help you create dynamic performances.

LED bars synchronized with the Serato Studio and Sample interface provide clear visual feedback, making it easy to read the controller’s status while you play.

Each 29 x 29 mm pad delivers exceptional feel and responsive touch, capturing even the smallest nuances of your performance.

Large multifunctional Dial with Focus Control

A large rotary dial lets you browse sound libraries, scrub samples, chop loops, navigate projects, and more.

Focus Control allows you to adjust software parameters (for example in third-party plugins) simply by hovering your mouse over a parameter and turning the dial — no MIDI mapping required.

4 touch-sensitive encoder knobs + OLED display

Provides direct control over parameters such as EQ, FX, stems volume, BPM, key, and more.

The display shows relevant information in real time (pad, deck, parameter, etc.), so you always know exactly what you’re controlling.

Not just for Serato

Although AlphaTheta SLAB is developed as the first dedicated controller for Serato Studio, it’s far from locked to one platform. The unit can also operate in standard MIDI mode, making it compatible with a wide range of other DAWs and music software such as Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, and many more.

This means you can still benefit from the responsive pads, touch strips, and encoders — regardless of the software you prefer to produce in. SLAB isn’t just a tool for Serato users, but a flexible controller that easily integrates into any modern music production setup.
