Studiologic SL73 Studio is a master keyboard with 73 weighted keys with hammer action. The USB and MIDI interface provide flexible connectivity: the keyboard controller can be easily integrated with an audio computer and DAW. Control options, for example for external effects, result from a total of three joysticks and four pedal connections. The Magnetic Rail System also allows the mounting of a music holder or a storage surface for laptop, tablet and handwritten music.
With the TP/100LR, a high-quality Fatar keyboard is used in the Studiologic SL88 Studio. Compared to the SL88 Grand, this gradual weighted hammer mechanism is characterised by its particularly low weight. Operation via 6-way joystick and three additional programmable joystick controllers offer full control over all functions at all times. Thanks to the integrated colour display, it is also particularly easy to keep track of all settings at all times.
Does exactly what I wanted - keyboard controller for DAW, that's the right size for my work space (I don't use the "dusty keys" at the ends of an 88 keyboard very often). Multiple outputs are good to have to speed workflow. Key action is reasonably similar to our grand piano so its good to use for practising repetitive "proper playing" without annoying everyone, as well as working in the DAW.

I was very worried about buying this keyboard since I saw a few reviews that said it has a very heavy action. I am a typical 'I must have at least one keyboard' type of user who is not well-skilled musically speaking. However, I found that once connected up, it was not too heavy an action for me at all. In fact, I am finding that I am actually starting to play better. It feels just right.
The little XY control sticks are a bit on the small side for precision sound tweaking but they do the job. I am not using the zoning and other features personally but it is a very easy device to configure and use. There is also space on the top of the keyboard on both the left and right hand sides for a separate controller box or laptop - for once, you can have your external gear placed more or less where you want. You don't have to be a right-handed player!
Overall, I am highly delighted with this keyboard. It is always pleasant to come across equipment which exceeds expectations. Not only that, the build quality is excellent too and it feels like it will last. And at this price? One would expect to receive some sort of hyped plastic thing but that is very far from what you actually get. Quite simply, this is excellent.
I have received an amazing support from the lads in Koeln I think, my address was wrong while ordering but as I called well supported and address was changed in no time and received goods at the right time.
