The SL88 Studio from SL Controllers is a professional 88-key MIDI keyboard controller that brings realistic piano touch and versatile control to your virtual instrument rig. Featuring hammer-action keys and an intuitive interface, the SL88 Studio is designed to inspire expressive performances and speed up custom setups. The SL88 Studio, a must-have for the gigging keys player or producer.

Hammer-Action Keys Recreate the Feel of a Real Piano

At the heart of the SL88 Studio is an authentic hammer-action keybed from Fatar that provides the weighted touch and responsiveness of an acoustic grand piano. The TP/100LR action delivers superior speed and accuracy when triggering virtual pianos and other instruments. Despite its realistic feel, the keybed is remarkably lightweight, enabling the SL88 Studio's portable design.

A Portable yet Rugged Chassis for Gigging and Studio Use

The SL88 Studio weighs under 14kg., making it easy to transport to gigs, studios and anywhere else your music takes you. Sculpted endcaps shield the keybed during transit while providing a comfortable grip. On stage or in the studio, the SL88 Studio's compact yet durable build puts 88 weighted keys and hands-on control at your fingertips.

Intuitive Controls and Editor Software for Fast Setup

A bright TFT display and rotary encoder knob provide intuitive navigation of the SL88 Studio's operating system. Switch between zones, select parameters and adjust settings with just a turn of the knob. Three pushbuttons immediately return you to the top level from anywhere in the menu. Powerful editor software unlocks the SL88 Studio's full potential, allowing you to easily create splits, layers and custom presets to suit any performance or production need.

Expressive X/Y Stick Controllers for Direct Parameter Control

Three X/Y stick controllers provide hands-on manipulation of pitch, modulation, panning and any other assignable parameters. Stick 1 controls pitch and modulation, Stick 2 is spring-loaded in the X-axis and Stick 3 offers free control of two user-defined parameters. The premium feel of the aluminum sticks combines with spring-loaded and unsprung mechanisms to offer nuanced, expressive control.

    Great midi controller, very easy to use nice you understand its workings. The app helps setting it up. The weighted keys are great for piano and can be used for anything else as you can set the curve per instrument

    Pricing features . Unfortunately two keys on my SL88 middle C and G stopped working after about a year and I brought it in for warranty repair. It has sat there for over a month and key contacts were ordered but I was told by AMS that they would take 3 to 6 weeks to arrive. Not satisfied at all! So my SL88 will be in the shop for 3 months. Which means I will need to buy another keyboard. I even asked the manager at the San Mateo GC if it was possible to get a discount on a new keyboard and he said no. Not happy about this at all

  • Good controller for the price

    I use it as a controller for my software synths and the Aftertouch works well and the keyboard action is good. Unfortunately after having it just a little less than a year two notes Middle C and G bellow Middle C started working only sporadically. I brought it in for warranty repair nearly a month ago and it hasn't been fixed but I've been told that parts have been ordered. This keyboard has not been moved since I bought it and brought it home. Hopefully it gets fixed soon
