Topic: Studiologic SL88 GT MKII

Hello,

Did someone try this one ? I have to replace an old keyboard. Are DP like P525 or Korg D1 a better choice (it's just to play with pianoteq) ? I would have chosen the MP11 SE if there wasn't the famous sticky keys issue. I've tried both PHA-4 and PhA-50 keybeds and It's not my taste (I own an old Kawai MP8).

Thanks for your help !

Regards

Just some friendly wisdom gained by costly experience...

I would advise against the studiologic option. I've had two boards by them (Numa Nero and Acuna). Both of these suffered inconsistent velocity problems due to poor quality control.

Hope this helps you, Borealis.

Warmest regards,

Chris

P.s. if it was me, I'd seriously consider the D1

Thanks for the tip, Chris !

Re: Studiologic SL88 GT MKII

I wouldn't take an advice from someone who didn't actually used the Fatar TP/400W action. There are plenty of videos that are showing/comparing the action (the same action is on Studiologic Numa X GT).

I have mine SL88 GT mk2 for a month and a half and IMO it's the best action that you can get in this price range. The action is on the light side (I am also using it for organ playing), the pivot point is around 21cm, and as mentioned the action itself is already there for multiple years on the Numa X GT.

They're continously releasing software updates/fixes that you can super easily install using the Numa Player.


Best regards,

Thanks for your answer, and experience, Adrian !

Sudiologic is kown for some reliability issues, as kawai is. Some users have some issues with the SL88 (not the GT one) and SL73 MKII. But it's good point if you are satisfied with your keyboard.

Re: Studiologic SL88 GT MKII

Where do you read about issues with the mk2 version?

Re: Studiologic SL88 GT MKII

Some forums. But your good experience is a good point (I haven't made any choice yet). Thanks again.

Please do thorough research and, best advice I can give, try before you buy if at all possible, Borealis.

Re: Studiologic SL88 GT MKII

I do and try when it's possible. Seems that the D1 is nice for many users, whereas some find its keybed terrible. Such a pity Kawai didn't fix the MP11 SE issue !
