Description
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.Features SL line, 73-key MIDI keyboard controller with piano-touch feelFour programmable zonesKeyboard feel is programmable for soft, medium, hard, and custom velocity curves250 programs, 12 programs groupsTwo MIDI ports separately assignable5-pin MIDI connectors In, Out 1, Out 2USB port for USB to host, MIDI, and USB power connectionsIncludes PS100 switch pedal and power adapterAuthentic Piano Touch Light, TP/100LR hammer-action keybed technology from Fatar provides piano-like playing experienceTriple-switch detection system on each keyVelocity and aftertouch information for expressive performancePortable Form Factor Compact profilePortable professional controller unitStage and studio ready with rugged full-metal casingSculptured endcaps made of a highly resistant synthetic material help shield the keybed and provide a safe grip when handling and transportingEase of Operation Simple and intuitive UI with friendly layoutLarge TFT LCD color display in the center of the instrumentSix-way, encoder knob lets you navigate through all functions quickly and easilyThree buttons to the right of the encoder knob bring you back to the top-level from any location in the system with just one pushReal-Time Control Three programmable stick controllers for direct control and manipulation of any desired sound parameterStick 1 is spring-loaded for both X/Y directions, typically used for pitch and modulation controlStick 2 is spring-loaded in the X direction onlyStick 3 is free in both X and Y directions ideal for panning, cross-fading, and parameter controlAll sticks feature an aluminum shaft that feels balanced and expressiveMagnetic Rail System Magnetic Rail System at the rear of the keyboard for mounting an optional SL Music Stand or SL Computer Plate holds written notes, sheet music, laptop, or tabletSL Editor SL Editor software enables you to edit all available SL73 Studio parameters with an intuitive and interactive user interface from a Mac/Windows computer, via USB free download available separatelyCommunication is set in real time and all editing is transmitted to the unit directly, with no need of any offline actionWorks as a database and a backup system for your SL controller to maintain and organize your projectsChange, load, or modify the internal velocity curves according to your setup and playing preferencesDraw your personal velocity curves to control the relation between key speed and output value in all details
