Part of the company's SL line of controllers, the StudioLogic SL88 Studio 88-Key USB/MIDI Controlleris a portable, 88-key, hammer-action USB/MIDI keyboard controller, which delivers a piano-like playing experience in a compact package. It combines Fatar TP/100LR fully weighted keybed technology with a triple-switch detection system on each key and aftertouch information, offering pianists an expressive instrument with versatile touch and playability, for stage or studio applications.

The SL88 Studio is ideal for the gigging musician. Lightweight (at 30.2 lb), it is equipped with rugged, full-metal casing and sculptured endcaps that help shield the keybed, while providing a safe grip when handling and transporting. Located at the center of the front panel, the simple and intuitive UI features a large TFT LCD color display that is easy to read in low-light environments. The friendly layout comes with an encoder knob to quickly navigate through all functions. Three programmable stick controllers give you direct control and manipulation of any desired sound parameter during live performances.

To get the most from your instrument, the SL Editor software (free download available separately) enables you to edit all available SL88 Studio parameters from a Mac/Windows computer via USB. The software lets you program the keyboard feel with soft, medium, hard, or custom velocity curves. It also provides a database and a backup system to maintain and organize your projects.

The SL88 Studio ships with a PS100 switch pedal and a power adapter.

Q: 7. Are the line outs 3/4 able to be switchable outputs? For example I use Vmix for streaming and need to be able to send something different to my speakers than what is going to my headphones. So I want to make sure I can route output 3/4 as like just playback and main outputs as the master.

A: Line Outputs 3/4 will output the same audio that is coming from your main monitor outputs 1/2. The reason for outputs 3/4 is primarily for routing to outboard gear like reverb or effects processors and then bring that audio back into your line inputs, to mix with your existing audio. You can also monitor through another pair of monitors using line outs 3/4.
