SLAB is the first-ever MIDI pad controller that puts Serato Studio’s sampling, sequencing, and performance capabilities directly into your hands. It brings the raw instinct, feel, and speed of beat-making back to its elements.

SLAB offers an intuitive hands-on experience that connects production and performance, accelerating your creative flow.
