Best video and demonstration video I’ve seen for this controller. Everyone has complained about key action to heavy but I think you put those arguments to rest with your playing. Very nice!

[@MosesJoshua]

Thanks 3760!!!

[@MartinLear_CChem_MRSC]

Didn’t know about the 🎹key-bed velocity curve settings in KEYSCAPE - thanks for that tip and the great demos of course 🤓

[@liammurray9918]

You play keys so well, pleasure to listen to you try it out. I will be buying this keyboard!

[@AlvaroMRocha]

Careful putting 88 heavy hammer keys keyboards on it's side for more than a few days, for it may cause the action to become unevenly stiffer and some inner lubricant to migrate away from the mechanics (you sort of solve by turning it on it's other side) and may take time to revert back to normal (there's one laying on it's side there in the back, hence the remark)...

[@MosesJoshua]

Thanks Alvaro, I just learnt a new thing from you man... I already gave out the SL880 lying at the back. It was only there in this position for a couple of days before it went out to the new owner. But this is good to note for future heavy weighted keys so I can place it properly.

[@samsemylya]

Amazing video man. Thank you for showing me the features and help to decide for the keyboard.

[@MosesJoshua]

I’m glad the video helped out

[@undertheradar001]

The heavy keybed can take some working in. You can change the velocity curve until it works better at normal. As far as I am concerned, when it loosens up, it is one of the best keyboards that work as a piano; if not the best. I have mine paired up with a numa compact 2 which works better for synth action. The quality of the keys in the SL88 is amazing; as I say, just takes a little working in from new.

[@MosesJoshua]

Totally agree with💯

[@PEEKempowered]

Yes sir bro you just earned yourself a new sub. I’m listening and will be buying this soon buddy respect ✊🏽! This video just helped me out a lot and gave me confirmation. Great playing! Nice Melodie’s 🎶.

[@x7zauman910]

The velocity dynamic from softest to loudest is so expressive by what have you demonstrated, even pricier keybeds yamaha p-45 or kawai es 110 are nowhere close to that responsiveness, as a matter of fact they have shitty responsiveness. Let me ask you, do you feel the keybed feels good for soft piano playing?

[@freditorials]

You are a most talented artist sir Super impressed with your relaxed transcendent style. Pretty sure I’ll be purchasing this gem very soon.

[@MosesJoshua]

Thanks 🙏🏽

[@Melodias102]

Nice demonstration Moses. Liked the video!

[@MosesJoshua]

Glad you liked it!

Nice!! Send me picture when you do

Great video thanks, subbed 🙂👍

[@pattersongay6498]

Brother Moses, Just subscribed, also bought StudioLogic SL88 Studio after listening to your fantastic playing and instructions. How do I connect SL88 to Keyscape, Gospel Musicians FM Tines 2.0 software and Studio One? Downloaded manual is not helpful.

[@YuriMocellin]

Great video! Could you tell me how is the keybed in comparisson with Arturia Keylab 88 or Roland A88? Thank you

[@MosesJoshua]

It’s the same as the Arturia Keylab 88 but not the same as the Roland A88 mk2. Unfortunately I do have access to the Roland A88 mk2 to be able to do any comparison at the moment.

[@dmackiii5534]

Great video man.! What was that Lead synth you were using?

[@MosesJoshua]

Absolute Lead patch from the IK multimedia Syntronik/Sampletank plug-in

[@romanfuentes4939]

Moses thank you so muchfor your time master ! Amazing Review . I have the SL 73 and iwuolud like you to tell me whic vst sistem are you using my bro ?

[@MosesJoshua]

I used Keyscape, Omnisphere, RetroSynth (Stock Logic vst) and IK Multimedia Sample Tank in this video

[@jordanrazowskymusician8178]

Thanks for the vid!

[@MosesJoshua]

You bet!

[@deiwar2994]

Yes. I like the presets

[@isaacfanai2006]

How would you compare the touch to the Nord Stage? I am eyeing this SL 88 Studio to replace my main board. I saw some folks say it's made by Fatar who also make Nords stuff.

[@MosesJoshua]

Touch of Nord Stage is just better.

[@MosesJoshua]

Either Nord stage 3 or 4.. the feel is slightly better than the SL88. Yes they are both made by fatar from what I heard too but they have grades

[@mollykeyzz8330]

As a pianist l went for slgrand which is far better and gonna improve your dexterity after while

[@isaacfanai2006]

@@mollykeyzz8330 I actually regret not getting the Grand. I have a pianist background and should just pulled the plug.

[@drumaboyiglobal]

Did you have any issues with your sustain pedal; which port did you plug it into???

[@donpepz6871]

Hey Bro thanks for the content. All these sounds comes with the midi controller? and can I hook this bad boy with ipad pro?

[@MosesJoshua]

The sounds are not from the midi controller. I believe you can hook the midi controller to an iPad Pro. I’m sure there are ways to use any midi controller with an iPad but the sounds has to be installed on the iPad. This controller is not a keyboard that comes with its own sounds.

[@manuelbelezajazz]

Hi friend! I'd like to buy a Studiologic SL88 Studio, but I'm afraid cause of a my right wrist! Yeah, many time ago I got a tendinitus in my writs and I cant play in keybeds with very heavy action, you know! But I hate the semi weithed keys, I can't feel the pianos, the sound! So I saw several videos of this model but I dont have anyone to teste before buy, so I'm afraid ! I already bought a Nektar Impact LX88+ and i will sell you because of the horrible key action! Please, can you tell me what kind o heavy keys the SL88 have? Like any real piano model you already have played? If you can help me I will be grateful forever! Thanks and God Bless... Manuel

[@raycampos7597]

Make sure to use a good stand, it's heavy.

[@gabrield.cstoica1832]

Do you play very nice...Bro this sl 88 is beder like sl 990? the 990 the keys is tp/40 and this new sl 88 tp100... do you feel that is beder in keys sl 88?

[@Iam_jasonpaul]

Hello Moses . Thanks for this video ❤️clearly explained . Can you also let me know your thoughts on the difference between sl88 studio and sl88 grand . Which is best for the price ?

[@MosesJoshua]

If you absolutely need the Real wooden 🪵 Grandpiano feel, then you should get the SL88 grand. But it’s a lot of money, I am not sure if there is any technical function that SL88 grand has they the SL88 studio doesn’t have. Same thing just the Keybed.

[@Iam_jasonpaul]

@@MosesJoshua is sl88 studio not grand piano keys ?

[@MosesJoshua]

@@Iam_jasonpaul the SL88 studio is heavy weighted just like you will have in your regular Yamaha 88 keys motif for example, but if you are looking for something that feels like a real Grandpiano that is worth $50,000 and above, then the SL88 grand is what you should look for.

[@conquerer1984]

Awesome video! Just came across this page. I have a question for you? I have the the S73 myself and I notice that when I start to play it seems that the sound is delayed… have you had this problem?

[@MosesJoshua]

No, you should check your latency with your DAW or audio interface and stuffs like that.

[@conquerer1984]

@@MosesJoshua thanks brother. I’ll have to play around with those buffer settings. I usually have it on 256 or 300 something. Anything higher seems to be very noticeable and weird.

[@magicmulder]

Set your DAW to ASIO (best, if your audio interface supports it) or Exclusive mode. In Shared mode there’s always delay.

[@MagnusB1992]

Ive got my hands on the sl73 studio version. Do you know which option to choose in the keyscape? I suppose I can not use the Arturia 88 as recomended in your video, du to the lack of the 15 notes!? ☺️

[@MosesJoshua]

I believe its the same hammer action

[@tuneunleashed]

I would take the Roland A88 Mk2 over this. It has the Arturia Keybed? I know it’s bad

[@MosesJoshua]

If the price of Roland A88 mk2 is the same as that of the SL88-studio... I would take it too... You get what you pay for.

[@MrTb971]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@chrisnguimba]

Thanks sir

[@Heatstroker]

I can’t get any sound from my keyboard it’s plugged in through usb but no sound is coming out. I’ve updated the firmware too very frustrating. Not sure what I’m doing wrong 😒

[@MosesJoshua]

What keyboard are you talking about ?? This same midi keyboard??

[@amybalcomb607]

Having trouble getting the 3 pedal board from SL to work with this keyboard

[@MosesJoshua]

I don’t have the SL 3 pedal board, but I’m having trouble with the expression slot!

[@sonersiyahtas9810]

Selamlar Arturia keylab essential 88 modelini alıp geri iade ettim Şuan bunu düşünüyorum sizce aynılar mı yoksa bunu almalı mıyım?

[@MosesJoshua]

They are the same keybed. This keyboard is cheaper only because it doesn’t have the extra midi control features from Arturia

[@ingridlozano5395]

@@MosesJoshua hello! are you talking about Arturia key lab MKII or mk2 ???? because the I bought the Arturia keylab essentials mk2 and I returned it right away! too bad for a pianist... so.. if you're telling me that is the same its not worth it. I look for expressiveness when im playing . I would appreciate your answer man, I can't afford a SL88 GRAND but the SL88 studio is in my budget

[@ingridlozano5395]

also... I thought about Roland FP 10 because of the responsiveness and its in my budget too .

[@Dekon7]

How is the feel of the keys?

[@MosesJoshua]

Very nice!

[@lambdaprog]

Your left is our right.

[@lambdaprog]

And the most important part is the spirit of your playing. The sensitivity of this midi keyboard seems to capture quite a good chunk of it. But not all of it, still. It has probably something to do with the weight of the keys.

[@lambdaprog]

I wrote that before reaching the "It's so heavy" bit...

[@MosesJoshua]

Still getting used to the camera angles and mirroring..lol 😂

[@MosesJoshua]

@@lambdaprog No probs... it's quite heavy and will take sometime to get used to. I think it will be great for Fingering exercise and muscle development... and I like it that way! keeping my fingers flexible.

[@johnmcshultz]

I don't like the Fatar TP100LR keybed. It is the same like in the Arturia Keylab 88MKII and in the NI Kontrol 88MKII. For my taste it is very heavy and not fast enough in the reset of the keys.

[@tuneunleashed]

is it really heavy? It feels so light to me cause after having the Nord Stage 3 88 which is the TP40 it just feels so light to me as well lol

[@magicmulder]

Personally I don’t find it too heavy, but agree about the reset. Playing Rush E is pretty much impossible. 😂
