Alpha Theta Slab

Alpha Theta Slab Serato Studio controller

KEY FEATURES

Alpha Theta Optimized for Serato Studio’s creative workflow

Transport section and Focus Control support core production tasks

Think of Alpha Theta SLAB’s transport section as the operational core of your music-making process. It brings together essential

functions, such as play, record, and seek, and includes a multifunctional dial that enables faster browsing and

seeking. You can swiftly locate the phrases you want by scrolling through sampled audio with the dial, which hugely

enhances the speed and flexibility of the sampling process. One of the dial’s key features is Focus Control, which

you can use to manipulate third-party plugins, such as virtual instruments and effects, directly from Alpha Theta SLAB. Simply

move the mouse pointer over a parameter on your laptop’s screen and use the dial to control it instantly – there’s

no need for manual MIDI mapping. This enables seamless, intuitive sound design and gives you immediate access

to critical tools.

OLED display and touch-sensitive encoders for hands-on control

Keep an eye on the OLED display at the top of Alpha Theta SLAB to see real-time information on integration status and

parameter values in exceptional clarity, even in dark studio environments. You’ll find 4 touch-sensitive encoders at

your fingertips, providing direct access to EQs, stems, effects, and parameter controls in Serato Studio. When you

touch an encoder (without turning it), the current assignments are shown on the OLED display, enabling you to

design sounds faster and with more confidence.

Multicolor LED pads for intuitive, instrument-like performance

Alpha Theta SLAB captures every nuance of expression in your performance. Its 16 Performance Pads are highly sensitive,

responsive, and tactile, and they feature velocity and aftertouch support. With a single touch of one of 4 dedicated

buttons above the pads, you can switch between pad modes, including Pad FX mode, where 4 types of effects are

assigned vertically to the pads and up to 4 effects can be layered at the same time. This enables you to apply

effects directly during production and hear the changes in real time, expanding your expressive possibilities.

It’s easy to capture and manage sampled material with the vertically arranged application control section, which

gives you quick access to features like Auto Set and Favorite. From chopping samples to slicing loops, the intuitive

interface boosts your production speed and helps you focus. Together, the pads and application controls create a

unified layout that keeps your creativity flowing.

LED long-stroke touch strip brings visibility and expressive control

Use the 130-mm long-stroke touch strip to control a range of parameters such as filter, pitch, FX level, and swing.

Its smooth and tactile response is paired with high visibility through RGB indicators to enable precise, fast, and

expressive production and performance techniques.Precise control with Stems Level

When you use Alpha Theta SLAB with compatible Serato software, including Studio, Sample, and DJ Pro, you can finely tune

the volume of individual parts in the same track – such as vocals, melody, drums, and bass – via the Stems Level

feature. Until now, if you wanted to tweak individual volume levels, you had to prepare separate tracks. But with

SLAB’s 4 touch-sensitive encoders, you can do it directly from the hardware. This hands-on control is also a game

changer for DJ performances with Serato DJ Pro, enabling precise combinations of EQ and stem adjustments.

Seamless integration with Serato applications for diverse production setups

Alpha Theta SLAB also supports Serato Sample and Serato DJ Pro. Thanks to its versatile MIDI mode, you can use your

preferred DAW while taking advantage of Serato Sample’s high-quality sampling engine for a smooth production

workflow. And if you pair SLAB with Serato DJ Pro, it serves as an Official Serato Accessory (OSA), expanding the

expressive possibilities of your DJ performances. From home studios to live stages, SLAB supports creativity across

a wide range of scenarios.

Sleek design turns any location into a studio

Alpha Theta SLAB features a compact body smaller than A4/US Letter size, making it easy to carry anywhere and create a

comfortable studio environment, whether you’re at home, in a café, or on the go. The 2-tone gray design gives a

light, contemporary look while clearly grouping functions for intuitive operation. Familiar elements such as

AlphaTheta’s signature circular PLAY/REC buttons, along with the unique illumination bar inspired by sample clips

in Serato Studio and Serato Sample, offer an intuitive and engaging user experience for both creation and

performance.

The controller also comes with a gray USB Type-C cable that matches the body color. With both straight and L-

shaped connectors included, cabling remains neat and flexible, even in tight or space-limited setups.
