Your new SL
Thank you very much for choosing the SL. You have obtained a state-of-the-art professional instrument made by the renowned manufacturer Studiologic. The SL is easy to operate, thanks to the large colour display, the main Encoder with navigation controls plus built in click and it oers a perfect keyboard touch. We recommend that you read the entire manual carefully to take full advantage of all the functions of your SL. This manual is intended to be an easy, fast, Quick Guide that should help the user to understand the instrument and all mind related controls, rather than a general description of the complete structure and detailed editing, also made more exible and user’s friendly by the computer Editor that will be downloadable from our ocial sites.
Let us start with an overview of the functions of the SL.
Keyboard The SL Controllers oer the latest innovative technology by
Fatar: the sophisticated Hammer Action Keyboard with 3 contacts per key and Aftertouch. Therefore the SL Controllers are very portable, yet it oers the realistic grand piano touch for which Fatar is famous.
Zones The keyboard can be divided into 4 programmable zones.
You can dene each zone‘s keyboard range and select at which velocity level it will send its MIDI data, together with a wide range of settings and controls.
Each zone can be assigned to a dierent port and the new programmable Sticks can control dierent MIDI parameters for each zone.
Delivery includes SL88 Grand / SL88 Studio / SL73 Studio

Power connection
Insert the adapter plug into the back socket of the instrument and turn the instrument on, by moving the related switch to the 1 position (1=ON, 0= OFF).
CAUTION:
Be sure that the adapter is the original one (included in the box) or a suitable/compatible one with the correct voltage and power (9V – 1A, positive pin + at centre).

Assignable pedals connections:

• 1 continuous
• 1 multi functions
You can connect compatible Switch pedals (for the related functions) to Pedal 1 and 2, a dedicated Volume/Expression Pedal to the Pedal 3 input and one of the compatible pedals in the special multi plug 4.
The MIDI connections allow to control any external Midi De­vice and/or connect the SL to other external MIDI devices, for all related data transmission (notes, program changes etc.)
The USB (Universal Serial Buss) also allows the connection to external devices (i.e. Computers) to updates the rmware or estabilish a MIDI connection (IN/OUT).
When the SL is connected to a computer via USB, you can also use the SL Editor to set all SL parameters in a very fast and direct way, including controls not avaiable in the internal SL editing structure (i.e.: the Keyboard Balance function, that al­lows to change the velocity sensitivity of each individual key and balance black and white keys, with a single control.

The SL oers a special function to organize your Programs in Groups, in order to list in the same Group various Programs, corresponding to a specic task, song or project. The same Program can be associated to more Groups, allowing to opti­mize the internal memory and avoid duplicating Programs, if they can be used for more projects.
To select or program a Group, wivthin the 12 avaiable ones, press the main Encoder down or up until the Group section is selected, then scroll the various Groups with the Encoder; when a Group is selected, only the Programs of the selected Group will be shown, in the sequence stored in the Group.

*Pedal 4 can be programmed to control all available parame­ters (switch and continuous) but it can also be set to be con­nected with special multi-pedals (SLP3-D, NTP, etc.) allowing to have up to three pedals in one plug. A typical application is a triple piano pedal, where two pedals can control the Soft and Sostenuto functions, while the third pedal can control a half-pedaling Damper function.

other Zones can only be set to OFF or to the same kind of pedal (all other functions are shown in grey).
A Zone can be have 3 states: ON/OFF/Standby. To enable or disable a Zone press IN and set it ON or OFF; if a Zone is OFF the display will only show a colored background. Clicking the Encoder, you can set the Zone in Standby and the display will show it in grey. (The picture shows Zone 1 ON, Zone 2 Standby, Zones 3 and 4 OFF).
Please note that you can also set all parameters of a disabled Zone (in the Program) in order to be ready to enable it at any time, with all pre-programmed parameters for that particular Program.
Programmable Sticks
The 3 Sticks on the left side of the instruments are program­mable real-time controls:
Stick 1 has springs in both the vertical and horizontal axes and it goes back to zero automatically; a typical setting for such kind of control is for Pitch Bending functions;
Stick 2 has a spring only on the horizontal axis and it goes back to center on that side; a typical setting for such king of control is for Modulation or Filter cuto, when controlling any kind of virtual Synthesizer;
Stick 3 is totally free and it keeps the position where you move it, on both X and Y axes, allowing to control any para­meter that needs to stay stable where it is set.
How to program the sticks
Once you have selected a Zone, by clicking the IN button you enter in EDIT MODE and you can scroll with the Encoder’s ver­tical switches thru all the programming pages, until you nd the page related to the Sticks programming.

This function allows to increment or decrement the current SL Program, using single-switch pedals connected to the Ped 1 or Ped 2 sockets; the available settings are:
• OFF: function disabled
• PED1 + pressing a pedal connected to PED1 will increment the current Program a step ahead (i.e from Program 001 to 002 and so on);
• PED1 – pressing a pedal connected to PED1 will decrement the current Program a step below (i.e from Program 002 to 001 and so on);
• PED2 + pressing a pedal connected to PED2 will increment the current Program a step ahead (i.e from Program 001 to 002 and so on);
• PED2 – pressing a pedal connected to PED2 will decrement the current Program a step below (i.e from Program 002 to 001 and so on);
• PED1/2 +/- two pedals connected to PED1 and PED2 will allow to increment or decrement the current Program;
