opinions on possible purchase

Recommended Posts

I am thinking about purchasing the studiologic sledge 2.0 synth.  Primarily I want a keyboard to midi to my korg modwave, korg wavestate, waldorf blofeld and hydrasynth desktop.  I am one who would rather buy a synth that has sounds in it rather than buying a keyboard controller.  the sledge does have aftertouch, which I really don't care for that much, but has pitch and mod wheels which I do like.  I have other set ups in my music room, Prophet rev. 2 midied to waldorf iridium, novation peak and 3rd wave desktop that can produce some unbelievable sounds when voiced all together.  

 

wondering if anyone has any opinions on the sledge, or any advice.  also, the sledge has some decent sounds in it and a large area for saving presets.  thanx.

I have played the Sledge, and I'd say that the keyboard is one of its strong points; it's quite playable and smooth. Also, big knobs on a big panel, good wheels, AT, internal power supply, and a decent sound. It's plastic but sturdy, and not heavy at all considering its dimensions. It has limitations, like the aftertouch always duplicates the function that's assigned to the mod wheel - which I find totally silly. Also, I have heard that a few units have some system instability, but I haven't noticed any in my (brief) time with the instrument.

In the few days I have had the Sledge at my place, I programmed a few quick patches and made a little video:
