Aluminum Housing
Made of an ultra-durable, 2mm thick, die-cast aluminum alloy shell that's 1.3" (33mm) tall, Slide Duo is more compact than ever and ready to withstand the rigors of the road.
Backlit Buttons
See all critical controls on the darkest stage or backstage. No glow tape necessary. With MIDI clock from your DAW, the "PLAY" button can also blink in time with your music!
Tactile Feedback
Beneath each soft-to-touch silicone button on Slide Duo, you'll find a satisfying, reliable switch. You'll know you've hit the "PLAY" button, cued the artist in, or fired that sample!
USB-C Native
Slide Duo comes standard with two USB-C ports, allowing you to connect directly to two playback computers at the same time without a dongle.
All-Purpose Faders
Slide Duo's faders are great for controlling things like vocal delay throws, click volume, and incidental music. It's a little extra control for when you need it!

Slide Duo is like having 2 MIDI controllers in one enclosure.
By sending the same MIDI signal to your A computer and B computer at the same time, you can ensure both are in sync in case of failover.
Works with Live
Slide Duo integrates perfectly with Ableton Live-compatible cue-launching software such as Taz, AbleSet, and Setlist. Every Slide Duo includes a license to Taz Lite, our cue-launching plugin for Ableton Live.
Besides out-of-the-box compatibility with Ableton Live, many of our customers use their Oakboards with QLab, Logic, and various other workstations. This is thanks to Slide Duo's compatibility with any software that allows MIDI controller mapping.
Oaktone controllers are my first choice for playback. Clean design, easily reprogrammable, and simply reliable.

Anything that just works right out of the box, I'll put in my rig. That's part of the reason I ended up rockin' with the Oaktone. Plus it's small.

You know what you clicked and when you clicked it. All the playback techs in the company use them and they love them. They're just easy.

Can’t wait to start using this! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. When running tracks from drums, this is what you need. Something simple that doesn’t take too much brain power 💪
Appreciate the review and kind words, Austin!

Rock solid midi controller for recording and playback. Oaktone even emailed me to see if I had any issues. Great product!
Thanks for the review, Ted!

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!
Tech Failures are Unprofessional
At Oaktone, we know professionalism is a critical part of your job and that means you need gear you can rely on. The problem is, most playback computers are still being controlled by flimsy, plastic, ad hoc solutions which can hinder your ability to do the job well and can undermine your showtime confidence. We believe running playback should never interrupt your live show flow state. We understand firsthand the stress and excitement of live music, which is why we created the most durable series of MIDI controllers ever made specifically for playback.
Pick up an Oakboard before it's sold out. And in the meantime, get in touch if you have any questions so you can stop worrying about your gear and get back in the flow.
