Description

The SL88 Studio is the perfect extension of the SL CONTROLLERS line, providing the perfect combination of lightness and power. The user interface is perfect for quick navigation and setup, and also gives you excellent in-depth control. The SL88 Studio adopts the latest hammer action key bed technology from FATAR, giving the best piano touch feeling. TP/100LR is remarkably lighter than any other. Each of the keys provides 3 contacts for superior performance, and the weighted touch guarantees a fluent and authentic feel. With its compact profile, the SL88 Studio is an extremely portable professional controller. Thanks to a perfect integration with the TP/100LR keyboard, it weighs in at a mere 30 pounds. The SL88 Studio is stage and studio ready with a rugged full metal casing. Sculptured end-caps, made of a highly resistant synthetic material, help shield the key bed perfectly and provide a safe grip when handling and transporting. Studio logic is synonymous with high quality MIDI controllers and ground breaking digital pianos, organs, and pedals.

  • Solid key action, quality build
First, I grew up playing heavy action grand piano (which I am still playing 60 years later). The key bed has an action on the heavy side and I like it. This should not be confused with sensitivity, however. The keyboard has a great sensitivity and the heavier action makes it easier to more consistently play soft and quiet passages. In another perspective, playing fast passages is actually quite easy and here the heavier action facilitates my finger control, allowing me to be more expressive and not overplaying my phrasing (in this case I was playing Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart passages when I first set the keyboard up). If you are used to playing a real acoustic piano, you will probably be comfortable with the key bed on this rig. On a side note, this keyboard has a solid metal casing and should be set on a solid mounting or table. The good news is that, when set up this way, you can play as aggressively as you want, or as gently, as well. Moving past the key action, which is the first thing you encounter with any keyboard, the controller aspect of this rig is simple, clean, but highly functional. The center color TFT/LED display is controlled with an encoder knob that has push down selection action, plus three menu level control buttons. With this, you can set several keyboard options and projects such as dividing the keyboard in up to 4 zones of play. This can interface with your DAW (Logic Pro here). Through the USB interface into your computer, you can also modify keyboard parameters such as velocity, sensitivity, et al, using the StudioLogic SL Editor. I like the simple yet effective control interface. It is easy to use and with a little practice you can have a tremendous range of presets and control capabilities that you can access quickly with a couple of knob twists and button pushes. I can see this utility for live performance, but it also makes sense for studio production if you are wanting to move efficiently between standard presets. I like these controls. I am honestly ambivalent about the joysticks compared to jog wheels (the SL88 Studio uses joysticks) for expressions, gliss, etc. I like either one and the SL88 joysticks are just fine and easy to use. If you are wanting a good 88 key controller with a solid piano action and efficient menu control, this is a very good proposition. The price is even more attractive given its quality and it definitely punches above its weight. ... show more

  • Best for the money. Hands down.
Great key action. Really easy to connect to my laptop. (Reminder)This is just a midi controller and needs a computer to make sounds. This is the best midi keyboard I have owned and it is really inexpensive. I use mine for live shows and worship on sundays. I even gutted an old, rundown real piano and used it to put this midi keyboard in. Looks really great on stage. ... show more

  • Good basic keyboard for the price
This keyboard is pretty good for the price. I'm not doing much with the controller beyond just connecting it to my daw so I can't say much there except the interface and menus are kind of clunky. I've been able to find what I need, though. The keyboard feel is the reason I bought it but I'm a little luke-warm about it. It's totally playable but the keys are annoyingly sluggish. They just feel heavy and weird and nothing at all like my actual piano. The action on my Yamaha upright is 10 times lighter than on this keyboard. And no grand piano that I've ever played has a really heavy sluggish action like that. That being said, it plays pretty well once you get used to it. But I wanted a basic controller to record small piano parts on - not to spend hours and hours playing . .so this meets my needs pretty well the price is great. ... show more

  • Good controller
nicely build and surprised of how light it is for a controller this size. key feels awesome. the software is meh, and the display may have this stain that appears a then disappears put affects nothing in the display functionality. may be tricky for chancing the "zones" on live performance put it depends on your needs. the stick controllers feel great and are on a position easy to reach but for live performances may feel a little small for some "precise expressions/felling" but ok when used to it. excellent port selection, if you care of statics, it looks so simple and nice. Gigs had been greats so far ... show more

  • Take care of you fingers
This SL Studio 'weighted' keyboard is what it says and playing it wears my fingers out -- I sent it back and then bought the (twice the price, but who cares) SL GRAND which I LOVE. Ivory feel of the GRADED keys (key word here is Graded NOT weighted) were perfect and the 'mostly' wooden key were Great and felt like a real Piano so, I've got a new girlfriend and will stay with her forever = Thanks even tho twice the price StudioLogic SL Grand it IS well worth it ... show more
