Manufacturer: Studiologic - Highest quality and Italian engineering skills

Studiologic is a brand of the long-established Italian company Fatar, which is renowned worldwide for its outstanding keyboard mechanisms. The SL series is the flagship in the controller range and combines excellent workmanship, user-friendly design and state-of-the-art technology. The SL88 GT mk2 model in particular embodies the claim to meet the highest demands in terms of sound control and playing feel.

By using the TP/400 WOOD keyboard, which until now has mainly been used in high-quality digital pianos, Studiologic is sending a clear signal in the direction of professionalism and playing culture. The quality of workmanship, the weight of the keyboard, the natural feedback and the precise response with every keystroke make the SL88 GT mk2 an incomparable tool for musical expression.

Technical details: expressive, versatile and future-proof

The heart of the Studiologic SL88 GT mk2 is the TP/400 WOOD keyboard with gradual hammer action. This keyboard is equipped with a genuine wooden core, which is noticeable not only in its weight but also in its feel. The "Ivory Touch" surface conveys the feeling of ivory and ensures pleasant playability even during longer sessions - even with sweaty hands.

The gradually weighted action adjusts the playing feel from low to high notes and is therefore based on the characteristics of an acoustic concert grand piano. Together with the sensitive touch response and excellent key recognition, the SL88 GT mk2 provides a playing feel that will satisfy even the most demanding pianists.

Four dedicated zone controllers and two freely assignable encoders are available for control. Two programmable joysticks replace conventional pitch bend and modulation wheels and enable creative, intuitive control of various parameters. Zone control allows the keyboard to be divided into up to four independent zones, each of which can be assigned its own MIDI channels, sounds or controllers - ideal for complex live or studio setups.

A 2.8" LCD color display provides clear visual feedback and makes it easy to navigate through menus, zones and programs. Transport functions such as Cycle, Stop, Play and Record allow direct control of the DAW - compatible with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase and other software solutions that support the Mackie protocol.

Audio interface & connections: Everything for the professional setup

A particular highlight of the Studiologic SL88 GT mk2 is the integrated USB audio interface, which enables direct output of the DAW audio signal via the 6.3 mm jack outputs (L/R) and the separate headphone output. This eliminates the need for external interfaces in minimalist setups and increases mobility - ideal for rehearsal rooms, home studios or live situations with reduced technology.

The variety of connections is fully designed for professional requirements: MIDI In and Out via DIN sockets, USB-C for power supply and data transfer, three pedal connections (for sustain, expression and universal pedals) as well as separate outputs for audio and headphones. Thanks to the bus-powered function, no additional power source is required - a clean and uncomplicated solution for on the go.

With dimensions of 1265 x 123 x 310 mm and a weight of 21 kg, the SL88 GT mk2 is robust, solid and yet portable enough for mobile use. The stable construction ensures durability, even with regular transportation or use on stage.
