Studiologic SL88 GT mk2 B-Stock is an 88-key master keyboard controller featuring the Fatar TP/400 Wood keybed — the flagship model of the SL mk2 line, manufactured in Italy by Studiologic/Fatar. B-Stock units may carry minor traces of use and carry the same manufacturer warranty and identical technical specification as new stock.
TP/400 Wood keybed — concert grand class mechanism
The TP/400 Wood is Fatar's top-of-the-line mechanism with wooden keys, graded hammer weighting, and a triple-switch detection system. The key lever arm measures approximately 24 cm — comparable to a concert grand piano and significantly longer than the "baby grand" mechanisms found in most competing controllers at this price point. Aftertouch is generated by the hammer mechanism itself rather than a foam strip under the keybed, resulting in a linear relationship between key pressure and the aftertouch value — predictable and musical when applied to vibrato or filter modulation. With MIDI 2.0, the controller transmits velocity and aftertouch at the higher resolution of the newer protocol, a difference that becomes audible when working with sample libraries and virtual instruments that respond to fine dynamic gradations.Built-in audio interface and full DAW integration
The SL88 GT mk2 eliminates the need for a separate audio interface: a single USB-C connection carries audio from a computer or iPad directly to the 6.3 mm L/R outputs and the TRS headphone output on the unit. The control surface includes six encoders (four zone encoders plus two freely assignable), two programmable sticks (Stick 1 spring-loaded bidirectional, Stick 2 directional non-springed), and DAW transport buttons (Play, Stop, Record, Cycle) with native support for Ableton Live, Apple Logic Pro, Steinberg Cubase, and any Mackie Control Protocol-compliant application. Three pedal inputs accept switch, switch/continuous, and SLP3-D triple-pedal configurations. The 2.8" LCD display and UX Logic interface (originally introduced on the Numa X Piano) handle navigation across 100 programs and 24 program groups without a computer.KEY FEATURES
