Check out the finished project and my post review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKO9enR6h9t6q6c

Please excuse the video and audio quality switch up in between cuts...I was bouncing in between my main camera and my iPhone so that I could give you better angles...also I am not a professional technician or painter...just a guy on KZbin...so I’m pretty sure I’m not doing things “technically” the right way....so please try this at your own discretion...I’m not liable if you screw your keyboard up...only if I screw mines up! 😂😂

John Mike Can’t wait for the finished product! Especially the vinyl lettering!!🎶

[@robynmiles31]

I wish I was daring enough to do mine!! Much respect!

[@meilstone2711]

That's such a nice hue of red!

[@thejuggler]

This is great! The other option is to wrap it with 3M that is used for cards. Did it with my SL-90 ROCK ON!

[@DojoOfCool]

Next time you do something like this maybe should think about wrapping the keyboard with the stuff they wrap car with. Can buy it in rolls tons of colors and patterns. It is durable, no spraying so not disassembley just have to get good with using exacto knifes to cut and trim around controls and screens. Something to consider.

[@fisherroastedpeanut]

I really loves this man

[@brucephoenix3989]

Edit King! You’re a brave, brave man🤕I actually replaced the lcd screen on my Alesis QS6, but it was a plug and play.... ✌️🎶

[@christopheleray7913]

Very impressive ! Good job.

[@ZTAudio]

I admire the audacity of this project.

[@janklas7079]

It looks cool.. pondering doing something similar. Though, if you had wanted a perfect paintjob, you would have painted it white first, as red is a transparent color. This is why your red is not as vibrant as it could have been. Also, it looks like there's a lot of empty room in there. I'm pondering building a raspberry pi into it as midi-soundmaker, so it becomes a fully fledged piano instead of 'just' a midi-controller.

Passion!!!

[@bensmirmusic]

I want to remove the joysticks from my sl73, or at least keep the joystick on the far left, and remove the other two Do you think it's possible ?

[@jimmyjamz7400]

Question... I need some advise on what I should do as i am a first time macbook user with mainstage 3 at my church. What should i use for a budget friendly audio interface or should i use an interface at all??

[@chadjeffery2672]

Great channel! What I'm really curious about is why you prefer the SL88 over Native Instrument's S88 MK2

[@Johnmike]

I have not tried the 88 version yet...but the price point and feel is better on this to me

[@JoseVGavila]

I am afraid, as there is no a second part video, that this project went finally bad... I hope I am wrong!

[@dehmi7]

Where is second part ?

[@couchcamperTM]

lol I like the old midi and hate USB on my instruments and you go into the opposite direction. But I dig the "Clavia Nord" Red, too.

[@couchcamperTM]

it seems Studiologic made it really hard to fix the faulty Fatar keybed, which WILL need a repair after a few weeks or months or years, as we all had to learn... On the other side it's hard to find anything better for the price of the SL 88 Studio.

[@steveccase]

Very interesting, as I was going to see if it was possible to even permanently remove the center screen and knob.

[@Johnmike]

You could and it would be functional because they are separate on the motherboard from the power and the midi ports...but you’d have no data entry or data feedback on it

[@bensmirmusic]

I have a sl73 and I want to remove the joystick to have more space to lay a pc keyboard on top of my 🎹. Any suggestions on how to do that

[@Johnmike]

They actually make a laptop stand that connects to the SL www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1316399-REG/studiologic_sl_computer_plate_magnetic_computer_plate_for.html/?ap=y&gbraid=0AAAAAD7yMh2IofvKRR3HA0wzgJ09Q3Uc6&gclid=CjwKCAjwsMGYBhAEEiwAGUXJaYw8_bHMgyhrE9JgyRAR3zS2C_tZG5FwOTGOPsKJUHnRMhdh3QD7ZhoCRsIQAvD_BwE&lsft=BI%3A514&smp=y

[@bensmirmusic]

@@Johnmike that’s interesting, but I need more space, to put my mouse at the right and my pc keyboard at the left, I’d rather go hardcore and remove the joysticks 😂

[@israeljohnson3844]

Is it possible to unscrew the joystick ?

[@mikebullock8196]

HI JOHN MIKE HOW ARE MAN LISTEN I'm A BIG FAN OF YOURS MAN DIG YOUR INFORMATION VIDEOS, IM THINKING OF BUYING A KEYBOARD CONTROLLER FOR MY DAW LOGIC PRO Im A RNB SINGER WHO PLAYS KEYBOARDS BUT FOR WRITING MUSIC ONLY BUT IF I RECORD A KEYBOARD PART I WANT IT TO SOUND REALISTIC IN THE RECORDING, PLEASE CAN U TELL ME WHICH KEYBOARD CONTROLLER HAS THE BETTER FEEL PLAYING WISE IS IT THE SL 88 STUDIO LOGIC KEYBOARD CONTROLLER OR THE ARTURIA KEYLAB 88MK2 KEYBOARD CONTROLLER ??? THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY ALL THE BEST FOR U BRO FOR 2021 MIKE

[@Johnmike]

The sl88 has the same keybed that the keylab 88 has on it for half the price...so if given the choice I would choose the SL88

[@samuelmaylor6634]

Hey John how do you like that studio logic, is it enough??

[@Johnmike]

samuel maylor it’s enough

[@samuelmaylor6634]

@@Johnmike John thanks for all youndo on the reviews and what you offer. Looking to go fully or have softsynth rig and regular hardware

[@SlowCarToChina]

Mike, where is the follow up video? Did you get it finished?

[@Johnmike]

I will be doing a video update on this soon...ran into a issue

[@sleudianfrip]

Hey Mike! Hope you’re well. I assume the JM88 Project didn’t go so well? Notice you haven’t mentioned this any further since your first coat of paint.

[@oscarwebb2961]

I owned two of them; superb action. I got rid of them as I question their long term reliability.

[@mrhats830]

Sooo what you really wanted was a Nord piano?

[@Johnmike]

Naaa honestly not much of a nord fan...I just LOVE red...I painted my last keyboard red...and my old studio I painted all of the walls red! Lol...it’s my favorite color...

[@mrhats830]

John Mike haha I get it. It looks really cool!

[@kristopherha]

If you look closely in the intro part, he has a nord in the back I think ;)

[@eltonallenmusic]
