Studiologic SL73 Studio

Part of the company’s SL line of controllers, the StudioLogic SL73 Studio is a portable, 73-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 SL73 Studio is ideal for the gigging musician. Lightweight (at 25.3 lb), it is equipped with a 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 SL73 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 SL73 Studio ships with a PS100 switch pedal and a power adapter.
