Oakboard Slide Duo
The Oaktone Oakboard Slide is designed for performers and technicians who need dual output MIDI operation for failover / redundancy rigs. The Oakboard Slide features 2 high-quality Bourns linear slide potentiometers and 6 silicone button tactile switches. The Oakboard Slide can be used with any digital audio workstation onstage or in the studio but Oakboards are designed first and foremost with reliable cue launching in mind. Each press of the 6 high-quality switches (manufactured in Japan) provides a reassuring tactile click and is programmed with a 100 ms debounce rate to avoid double-firing.*
The operating force is light enough for a quick launch but won't get accidentally triggered by pyro. If you need a reliable, no nonsense way to launch cues for your set, pick up an Oakboard by Oaktone.
For performers and technicians looking for a simple, single MIDI output in a more compact form factor, the Oakboard Mini may be the perfect fit for your rig and backpack.
Includes Taz Lite
Designed to give playback engineers a simple midi hardware solution for launching cues, each Oakboard also includes a license of Taz Lite, an all-new cue list launching Max for Live device available in the Oaktone.com software store.
* Debounce rate can also be adjusted in Taz Lite and Taz Pro if you don't have an Oakboard.

The Slide Duo is a well built controller specifically designed for playback operators working off stage. The device does not include a screen for feedback on marker locations so it will be necessary to keep the controller close to your screens. However, buttons with just the right amount of resistance alongside smooth fader action are a pleasure to interact with.
I used it durning my Christmas events and it was perfect it fit on my Nord stage 3 which if you know has almost no extra space to fit anything on the board this is a perfect fit and it was so easy to use
I have bought the Oakboard Slide Duo to synchronize two Apple Airbooks with Ableton Live (through one midi connection over a redundant iConnectivity Audio12 interface) and a third Apple Airbook with videos to be synchronized in Resolume Avenue.
The Oakboard Slide Duo makes a fantastic job and it's great to have two physical midi control connections with one unit.
It's a great unit and I'm a happy user!
The tactile buttons that click and the smooth faders make it a winner. The durability of the chassis gives me the confidence to throw it in my bag going to my next gig.
Works as advertised. Very nice build and component quality
Thank you! We appreciate the 5-star review!
