Studiologic - SL88 GT mk2

The Studiologic SL88 GT mk2 has clearly been designed as a natural extension of the musician's hands and mind. From the very first notes, you can feel that every detail has been worked on to provide a playing experience as close as possible to that of a real grand piano.

Thanks to its TP/400 WOOD keyboard and wooden hammer action, the touch is deep, nuanced and perfectly balanced, a sensation that will speak volumes to anyone who grew up playing an acoustic piano.

But it's not just about the feel. This model is also part of a contemporary vision of music production. The UX Logic interface, directly inspired by the Numa X Piano, simplifies navigation and makes managing MIDI zones and parameters child's play.

The 2.8-inch colour screen clearly displays all the information you need, so there's no need to get lost in complex menus. And because it also acts as an audio interface, you can connect your computer or tablet directly via USB-C, without the need for an external sound card - ideal for mobile set-ups or quick home studio sessions.

The SL Link makes it even easier to talk to the Numa Player 2 software, which offers a collection of acoustic, electric and synthetic sounds. And as this software is free for all SL users, all you have to do is launch it to start composing or playing straight away. Add to that support for MIDI 2.0, and you've got a tool that's precise, expressive and resolutely forward-looking.

In the studio, the integrated transport keys let you control your sequencer (Logic, Cubase, Ableton Live...) without taking your hands off the keyboard. On stage, the programmable sticks and multiple pedal inputs give you fine, intuitive control. Solid, well thought-out and ready to follow your ideas, the SL88 GT mk2 is equally suited to intensive use or a more personal setup.
