Have been looking for a new 88 note controller for my home studio, leaving my NS4 to go out on gigs without dismantling the studio every time. In the studio I mainly use Piano plugins so it doesn't have to have any built in sounds necessarily. So my main priority is something that feels great for a real Piano feel, but also some other controllers would be useful for other non-Piano sounds/plugins.
So although I was quite keen on the Kawai VPC1, it's lack of any pitch/mod or anything else put me off. So I went for a Studiologic SL Grand - and ended up sending two of them back - both had uneven keyboards with a number of random keys giving out noticeably hotter velocity than others so making notes jump out as louder than other ones.
So currently back to square one. Waiting for delivery of a Native Instruments S88 Mk3 partly as I use their Komplete Collection plugins too, and also as it has MIDI2. Just hoping the Fatar keyed will feel OK and its setup for an even response unlike the Studiologic.
Any other thoughts/suggestions very welcome. Also keen to hear if other people have experienced this problem with the Studiologic SL Grand.
