MusicRadar rating

4.5 of 5

Pros

Automap Universal has great potential. Improved sequencer integration. Speed Dial is superb! Bigger drum pads. Good build quality. Fantastic value.

Cons

Control glitches with some plug-ins. Sequencer configuration can be 'involved'.

The bottom line

We’ve been impressed by every one of Novation’s SL series controllers so far, and the Compact is no exception. It’s a cutting-edge keyboard at a cutdown price!
