There’s little else in the box – just a USB cable – but you do get an impressive software bundle, including packs from Softube (Time and Tone), and AAS (Session Bundle) plus Spitfire’s Audio LABS, Ableton Live Lite, XLN Audio Addictive Keys and membership to Novation’s Sound Collective. It’s therefore easy to carry around and a nice little controller to partner with Laptop Livers, of which there are a great many. The rest of the unit fits in with Novation’s latest sleek aesthetic – black and cool, rather than the dark grey of the original – and the unit is light in weight but feels pretty durable.
