Key Features

• Fatar TP/400 Wood Keybed: This premium action features wooden keys with a graded hammer mechanism and ivory-touch feel, providing the most realistic tactile feedback available in a controller.
• UX Logic Interface: A 2.8" high-resolution color display uses a color-coded system to manage zones and parameters, allowing for intuitive navigation that keeps you focused on your performance.
• Integrated Audio Interface: The built-in USB-C audio interface allows you to route high-fidelity stereo sound from your software directly to speakers or headphones without needing an external sound card.
• MIDI 2.0 & High-Resolution Control: Ready for the latest industry standards, offering significantly higher resolution for expressive dynamics and seamless communication with modern DAWs and plugins.
• Magnetic Rail System: A dedicated rail on the rear panel allows you to snap on magnetic accessories, such as a laptop plate or music stand, for a clean and efficient workspace.

MK1 vs. MK2: What has changed?

The SL88 GT MK2 (formerly known as the "Grand") brings several transformative upgrades to the hardware and workflow:

• Color Display: Replaces the small monochrome screen of the original with a vibrant color UX Logic display, making zone management much more visual.
• USB-C & Audio: The MK2 moves to USB-C and adds a built-in pro audio interface, allowing the keyboard to handle both MIDI and high-quality audio output.
• MIDI 2.0 Integration: The internal electronics have been overhauled to support MIDI 2.0, offering a future-proof foundation for high-definition control.
• Refined Mechanics: While it retains the legendary wooden core, the TP/400 mechanics have been further optimized for even better repetition speed and mechanical stability.

Specifications

The Studiologic SL88 GT MK2 is a substantial instrument designed as the centerpiece of a high-end studio. While it is considerably heavier than the "Studio" (TP/110) models at 46.3 lbs, that weight comes from the authentic wooden keybed necessary for a true concert grand feel. It is the definitive choice for players who prioritize touch above all else.
