Deep integration with Ableton Live and More Novation worked directly with the folks at Ableton to imbue the 49SL MkIII with unprecedented integration with Live.

Updated Firmware Unlocks Unquantized Recording Countless musicians have used Novation’s auto quantization to clean up their tracks and keep everything sounding tight. However, some players prefer the organic sound of their original performances. Previous MkIII firmware versions introduced micro-step editing that let users nudge notes off of the grid for slight timing variation. With the introduction of V1.3 Firmware, your can now record with no quantization whatsoever! You’re now able to capture your beats and performances exactly as you played them – small and major inconsistencies included!
