Form follows performance.

With its compact profile, the SL73 Studio is an extremely portable professional controller.  Thanks to a perfect integration with the keyboard, it weighs less than 12 kg.  The SL73 Studio is both studio and stage ready with a rugged full metal casing.  Sculpted endcaps made of a highly resistant synthetic material help to shield the premium keybed perfectly and provide a safe grip when handling and transporting.

Total access with total ease.

Located in the center of the instrument is a sharp TFT color display.  In combination with the high quality 6-way control knob, you can navigate through all SL CONTROLLER functions with ease.

Functions such as switching through the four zones are achieved by moving the controller, and then by clicking and turning the same knob again, you can select and adjust the desired parameter.  Simple, intuitive, and fast!  Additionally, the three pushbuttons to the right of the control knob bring you back to the top-level from any location in the system with just one push.

Real-time Control.

The SL73 Studio offer three X/Y stick controllers, not just for performance but also for direct control and manipulation of any desired sound parameter.  Stick one is spring-loaded for both X/Y directions.  The typical use for this stick is pitch and modulation control.  Stick 2 is spring-loaded in X direction only.  Spring 3 is free in X and Y directions, ideal for panning, cross fading, and parameter control.  Each stick’s function can be set directly by SL control panel, and all sticks feature an elegant, aluminum control shaft which feels perfectly balanced and expressive between your fingertips.
