Studiologic SL73 Studio Hammer Action Keyboard Controller

Studiologic SL73 Studio Hammer Action Keyboard Controller, 73-key MIDI Keyboard Controller with Aftertouch-enabled TP/100 Hammer Action, TFT Color Display, and 3 X/Y Stick Controllers.

Lightweight, 73-key Hammer-action Controller

Over the years, Studiologic has earned a sterling reputation for their high-quality Fatar keyboard actions. Now the company extends that legacy with the SL73 Studio, a lightweight 73-note MIDI controller keyboard featuring Fatar's latest fully-weighted keybed technology. You'll delight to the touch of the TP/100 Premium Hammer Action, which delivers the authentic feel of an acoustic grand piano. You will also appreciate the quick setup and navigation afforded by the SL73 Studio's intuitive user interface, as well as enhanced performance, DAW, and plug-in control via three X/Y stick controllers. If you're a serious pianist who needs a truly portable 73-key weighted controller for stage and studio, the Studiologic SL73 Studio should be on your shortlist.

The ideal gigging controller

It may sport a fully-weighted 73-note keyboard, but the Studiologic SL73 Studio is delightfully portable. Thanks to its lightweight Fatar TP/100 action, it weighs in under 31 pounds - which is very much appreciated by gigging keyboardists. The SL73 Studio is also thoroughly professional caliber and built like a tank with a rugged all-metal casing and impact-resistant synthetic endcaps that protect the keybed and provide a sure grip when transporting.

TFT color display for total access

The Studiologic SL73 Studio features a bright, easy-to-view TFT color display that, in conjunction with a high-quality 6-way controller knob, lets you quickly and easily navigate through all SL73 Studio functions - a very intuitive setup. Three pushbuttons to the right of the control knob bring you back to the top level from any location in the system with just a single press.

X/Y stick controllers for real-time control

Studiologic spec'd the SL73 Studio with three X/Y stick controllers for expressive performance and direct manipulation of sound parameters. Stick 1 (which you'll typically use for pitch and modulation control) is spring-loaded in both X/Y axes. Stick 2 is spring-loaded in the X axis only. Stick 3 is free in both the X and Y axes, which is perfect for crossfades, pans, and parameter control.
