Still the best head to head weighted midi controller review. NI has their Mk3 now, so when Arturia updates their 88 key weighted controller and hopefully Novation comes out with one, I hope you do an update. I suspect nobody will beat the studiologic in price because they all try to pack too many features on top of studiologic's Fatar keyboard.
@tedwilsonjr Жыл бұрын
I think it's important to note that the Hammer 88 Pro (didn't mention the number of faders) and the KeyLab 88 MKII (incorrectly identified as having 8 faders) have 9 faders each. Very important detail for those of us who want these keyboards to do some serious B3 work. Anyone seriously in the market for a controller would easily find that out for themselves, so I consider this to be a very minor blip in an otherwise excellent comparison of these controllers. You made it very easy to rank the characteristics in their importance to my work and come away with a winner. Thanks!

I think if you’re a pianist and want to compose or score music into a daw, the keyboard playing is the most important and how comfortable it is to play on. It’s important to have a weighted keyboard if this is what you think will help with your composing, as I got one with lots of controls but just don’t satisfy me in its key action / key bed . Sometimes it’s a good idea to have a controller as well as a weighted keyboard or you’re spending a lot to have all in one. Studio logic does great ones by the look of it.. and its price point is also affordable. They do go up to €1,200 if you want an all in one, piano feel with controls. Great video !

With having the KK s88 in the mix, bringing the 1K USD budget onto the table, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the Studiologic S88 Grand. It uses their Fatar TP/40Wood instead of the TP/100LR that the studio version uses. I haven't had the chance to play both, but since you put so much focus on the quality of the keybed, I think you'd probably like it a lot. I've heard the Grand is a night and day difference/improvement over the SL88 studio.

I might come back to this when I look at an 88 key model, even though I'm lusting after the Kawai Virtual Grand.

Hello John, thanks for the comparison. My clear winner is the Hammer Pro - I just have to find out if they fixed the hanging MIDI notes issue with their latest firmware upgrade or if it's a mechanical/electronical problem that will never get fixed. I wish Korg had a MIDI controller version of their D1 Piano. Best keybed for the money. Would be my number one choice if it had pitch and mod. I need to find out if there's an external pitch/mod wheel set available. maybe the Doepfer Eurorack modul is the solution... Options! there's so many, but all with a flaw lol

As a pianist, I considered the studio logic SL grand for ages, but it failed my review simply because A) the pitch bend is too weird and also right on top of all that space with the other two joysticks and that annoying single knob gets in the way of resting another keyboard on top. If the pitch pend was like a korg pitch pend and adjacent to the keys i would buy it, B) SL velocity curve alterations were too complex when using with piano VSTs and simply just didn’t work out of the box unlike the arturia and more importantly the roland a88 which just works and ticks all boxes and the kawai MP11SE or Kawai VPC1 for resting other keyboards on top

Controller or digital piano?

Any controller with no pitch bend and mod wheel is a big No for me, I believe all controllers should have it. That's why I can't go for the Sl88 studiologic.

I've used the komplete kontrol s88 and I love the feel of the keybed, does the sl88 studio feel pretty close in comparison? Is the sl88 studio heavier than the s88?
