AlphaTheta SLAB: The Elemental Beatmaking Controller for Serato Studio
The AlphaTheta SLAB is the first-ever dedicated hardware controller for Serato Studio, engineered in collaboration with Serato to seamlessly bridge the gap between production software and tactile, expressive hardware. Designed for producers, beatmakers, and DJs, SLAB brings the raw, intuitive energy of classic beatmaking back to the surface.
With a focus on speed, instinct, and a fluid workflow from the studio to the stage, SLAB unlocks the full creative potential of Serato Studio—and includes a license for the full version of the software upon connection.
