Hi all, I just bought a Novation 49SL MKII, and I'm becoming crazy setting it in Ableton.
- in the manual is written to set MIDI Sync in this way: control surface 'RemoteSL' - input 'SL MkII (Port 2)' - Output 'SL MkII (Port 2)'
I can't see 'SL MkII (Port 2'), but only 'MIDIIN2 (2- SL MkII)' and '2-SL MkII'
Second problem
but I can't find 'SL MkII (Port 1)', only '2- SL MkII'
Becouse of this I have these problems:
1) in VST list, I see 'Automap' to the side of VSTs, but when I open a VST I can't see Automap icons to the bottom of VST (the red 'A' and others Automap icons);
2) the only way to use the mixer and transport buttons throught the Novation SL is to turn off 'Automap' button on SL MkII; if on SL MkII I push 'Mixer' button, I see it on Automap window, but Ableton mixer can't catch any command.
Somebody can help me?
Thanks)
Then, select the SL MKIII as a control surface, and select the input and output to Novation SL MKIII (MIDI2), which is how the InControl mode is displayed on PC. To use the SL MKIII to control Ableton, configure the Track, Sync and Remote settings that you see on screen. Template editors for the ReMOTE SL Compact, can be used to create templates, edit them and send them to and from the unit. Note: this is NOT for the SL MkII. By default, the Launchkey Mini MK3 should be autodetected by Ableton Live 10.1.1 and later. If this does not work, or you have changed the settings, these are the settings to revert back to: Ensure to select 'Launchkey Mini MK3' for the Control Surface and for the Input & Output select the second port, 'Launchkey Mini MK3 (DAW Port)'. Mac and Windows firmware update installers for Launchpad MK2. These installers will update your Launchpad MK2 with firmware version 171, which adds support for FL Studio 12.1.

in MIDI ports, I should find 'SL MkII (Port 1)' and 'Remote SL Input (SL MkII (Port 2))'
but I can't find 'SL MkII (Port 1)', only '2- SL MkII'

SL MkIII Firmware Update 1.2
The latest firmware for the SL MkIII rewards users’ patience (thank you for bearing with us) with the addition of your most asked-for new features and workflow enhancements, making our flagship controller keyboard for Ableton Live (and other DAWs) more powerful and versatile than ever. SL MkIII 1.2 also, of course, squashes a few bugs and improves general stability.
We’re already accepting feature requests on the next update, too, so if you have an idea for a useful SL MkIII function, let us know via our Synth Owners group on Facebook.
Microstep editing
The Sequencer resolution has been increased to incorporate 6 microsteps per step, enabling notes to be positioned off the grid for the programming of subtle timing variations, fast triplet runs, glitchy repeats and more.
Step View pattern scrolling
The Up and Down buttons can now be used to scroll through all your loaded sequencer patterns for viewing and editing, without deselecting the pattern currently playing. This is of particular benefit to live performers, who can make changes to upcoming patterns on the fly – whether they’re in a chain or running individually – before they’re actually played.
Assignable Aftertouch
Giving your SL MkIII performances an expressive boost, Aftertouch has been made assignable to any MIDI CC you like within Components. Now you can use key pressure to control anything in your DAW or synth capable of receiving MIDI, from opening a filter or modulating oscillator pulse width, to increasing the depth of a distortion effect or detuning a unison stack.
More responsive knobs
We’ve increased the responsiveness of the SL MkIII’s rotary encoders for deeper, smoother adjustment of parameters over a shorter rotational distance, with no audible stepping.

Increased Gate length
With the maximum step length doubled to 32, you can record and sequence longer MIDI notes within patterns, for more complex and expressive tracks.
Enhanced NRPN Control
As well as outputting the full range of MIDI CCs, The SL MkIII 1.2 now also communicates with all NRPN-enabled devices. Not only does this greatly expand its hardware control remit, it also lets you manipulate viable parameters at higher resolution than standard MIDI allows.
