I am gobsmacked. This looks perfect. I've been looking for a nice, customizable piano that has a realistic action and isn't too large so that it can fit in the desk I built. This thing is perfect. The size is incredible. It sounds like the action is great. The free reign you get on sound customization is top of class. It looks nice. 3 pedals?? That polyphony! And the UX looks great too. I need it. I need it really badly. Thank you so much for your thorough review.
Still don’t have that oh so important Wurlitzer that my nord produces and yes if it gets better the nord belongs faithfully in the dumpster. Good vid ✌️❤️😎
Great review. Thanks! I have the X Piano 88 key arriving today. The seemingly ease of use and audio mixer are a huge plus! Looking forward to digging in.
Beautiful Chuck! It gets better and better! Love it! Have a Happy and Healthy holiday season and let’s pray for better days to come. Thanks for all the great vids throughout the years. Your hard work is appreciated! 👍❤️🙏
Thanks for another interesting review Chuck. The piano patches sound astoundingly different from one another. I'm very impressed by the features and connectivity on this stage piano and I'll listen to it again whenever I can. The 73-note version is particularly appealing to me because cars and bandstands are getting smaller and I ain't getting younger. I can scarcely believe all the features it offers for a little over 1000 euros. Keep 'em coming Chuck!
i have a 73 coming my way to replace my studiologic controller and mainstage for gigging. So psyched! I think I found the last one in the US. Will be coming Friday,
So how do you like it so far? You seem to be heading in the opposite direction of many keyboard players (abandoning a MIDI controller and Mainstage/VSTs for a "traditional" stage piano).
@@jamietopolski4019 it is light, sounds good, and easy to set up performance parameters. The piano sound takes some tweaking, but all the sounds are very usable for gigging. So far, its been robust.
I really noticed a difference in the way you played your little song that you always play the velocity the dynamics I noticed a big difference you enjoyed that a lot better on this keyboard I'm thinking about getting this one for Street Performer
Very thorough, great review, Chuck, I appreciate it! I'm looking at this right now and highly considering a purchase. One thing that is still a bit unclear to me is storing presets for quick access. In a live setting if I'm playing on a tune where I need to switch quickly from keys to choir, besides the four zones that I know I can set up, mute and unmute, there has to be preset buttons, aren't there? I would assume there are even more presets than 4 we could store and recall quickly?
The only thing that this keyboard needs is Organ Drawbar control like they do in Kurzweil SP6, where the 4 knobs can control the drawbars, it's a slow workaround but it works, currently we are stuck with whatever they program into the organ
Hey, Chuck, your videos are amazing. I've just discovered you on RUclips and have been diving through a lot of them. Here's a request: wondering if you could provide some discussion about Fatar keybeds. I saw you in a 2015 video saying how terrible they were. Now you're singing the Praises of the Fatar bed in the GT. I assume something has changed. Can you tell us what? Thanks!
I really want to try that new tp/110, the 73 seems like the perfect stage piano for me. I tried the SL73 but it was too stiff and spongy feeling. Like I was expecting a digital piano feel based on reviews but it played like a sluggish midi controller to me, and couldn't really play my style on it. This new numa seems promising. Might just go with the numa compact 2 for now though since it's lighter in both weight, key action and price.
If you're considering the "Numa Compact" series, be aware that its keys are shorter than standard keys! Standard keys are 6" for white and 4" for black keys. The Numa Compact's keys are 5.5" and 3.5" respectively.
LOVE the numa compact line. Definitely takes time to get used to the feel but I’m adding a leslie pedal this will be a killer street performing board. Impressive stuff from studiologic.
X-gt has a better keybed than the MP7SE i think! Much more solid and very quiet. Feels like the real thing. I had a MP7SE before but have a X-gt now and will not change back!
Now I’m really confused, don’t know if I want to go with this one or the Yamaha CP 88 or wait for the newer Roland RD 2000 hopefully coming up at 2024 NAMM.
Owner here: amazing keybed and great action. It weighs a ton (seriously) but if you're looking for feel it's hard to go past at the price point. Downsides: soundbanks, interface, no ability to sample or load your own, locked into the Numa manager (terrible), Studiologic releasing banks like "Movie Strings" - ridiculous. If it had the ability to wipe all the factory banks (keeping the pianos) and the ability to sample and create your own banks THEN it would be a Nord killer hands down. Studiologic have got lost in their own hype as far as sounds go (trust me - Kontakt will far out do the factory banks on this unit) but because it's FATAR well yeah, action is killer. Also, the FX do NOT apply to the inputs so forget about individual instruments. The master FX do relate however that's very restrictive. Again, this unit sells on its action and feel. If you are on stage then this may be of interest but if you're studio bound then stick to the same action on a MIDI machine. Realistically, a laptop will give you a lot more flexibility and a greater sound palette. Studiologic boffins: please read! You could wipe the market if you listened to your customers a little more. There is NO reason to limit this unit to a locked and antiquated system of seemingly narrow and unusable soundbanks based on someone at FATAR thinking they know what the musician wants - I mean PlectraXPluck and ClariXPack? C'mon that's just silly. You make great keys no question, but you have absolutely no idea what is needed sonically (ironically UVI is featured on the website but it's ignored as far as versatility goes). Just take a leaf from the Roland or Nord book and you will be on your way.
I agree with you. Great feel and good interface for me but apart pianos, soundbank is very poor and the piano needs some extra (Motf rack, Roland Boutique module) to complete the palette. I asked studiologic to put a killer sampler in it...
Hi Firstly thanks for the video, really well presented with so much covered. Having not owned a stage piano is it possible with this keyboard to get sound through the headphones as well as through external speakers. Enabling the headphone to be used as a monitor when playing with a band. And if you have other instruments/mics going through it can you adjust their volume levels coming through the headphones differently than the external speakers.
Yes, absolutely. Not only would it be a good first piano, it will grow with you for many situations - live performance (whether solo or with a band), recitals, or just chilling on your own. This definitely fills many needs.
@@PianoManChuckI agree with that! But for gigging, lighter is better! I have use the Casio PX560 for a while now. Love it and its action! But I do have my eyes on the Numa 88 X piano. When they get here to the USA!
PX560 is also my gigging board. Lighter is always better for gigging (every year that goes by it becomes more important)! PX-560 is now $1,299 and is 6 years old (still a bargain for what it does). Numa X Piano 88 is $1,499 (the non-GT version) and is brand new with some new features the PX-560 doesn't have. Its a win with either board, but in this case newer might be better for someone looking for a new board.
@@PianoManChuck yes I agree again! Newer is better. We hope? It looks great and by videos, it sounds great. Putting the Numa on gigs is the true test! My concern with the 560 is age. Every year, I swear it raddles more and more, the keybed. But still plays great. How is you 560 holding up? And by the way, thank you for the video on the Numa! The wooden keys are a great feature with the newer key bed and sound is really nice! How did you get your hands on one? Who has them in NY? Sweetwater hasn’t got there stock in yet?
My PX560 is still going strong and exactly as you described yours (keys make a lot of rattling noise but it doesn't matter, our band is LOUD)! Numa X Pianos are not available in the USA yet (not sure they're available anywhere in the world yet).... we don't have an exact ETA on them yet either but I would assume at least February in the USA (don't quote me on that), but we are taking pre-orders which will secure your spot in the shipping queue. The unit I have is a loaner directly from Studiologic... for purposes of review and beta testing (they're improving it!).
Great video Chuck! I've been looking for something that had this midi capability. Is it as easy as setting a zone to a midi channel, so you can have up to 4 different midi? Or is there a master midi channel? Or both? Anyways, I may be contacting you. Looking forward to a better 2022!
Great vid. I learned from it what I spent nearly two hours researching. Oh, well. One quick question. How would you rate the Fatar 400W action compared to the 40W? And the 100 vs. the 10? Liked and subscribed.
Hi Chuck, how would you compare the keybed action of the Kawai VPC1 to the Numa X Piano GT? Also, have you tried any of the Casio Celviano GP hybrid pianos before? Thanks!
Hi Chuck, how do you compare Studiologic NumaXPiano GT with Nord Grand, particularly in terms of the playability and key bed/key action feel? Which one do you prefer most and why?
Long term (over 10 years) very strict policy here to NEVER make personal recommendations! See ruclips.net/user/PianoManChuckabout The goal of my channel is to educate viewers so they have the ammunition needed to make informed decisions! ALWAYS try out pianos at your local retailer, and NEVER rely on the opinions of others (including myself) for making decisions.
That's a lot of audio input jacks! The display looks excellent on camera. I bet the new key actions feel great. Wish it had a few drum kits in it, or a timpani at least, but maybe it does.
Does this allow u to switch sounds quickly? i need a piano where I can switch sounds on-stage in around a second - is this possible on this? I currently use a yamaha p-125 and a synth but id like to replace them with just this keyboard.
Hey Chuck. Do you know if the shipping data for the Numa X Piano GT was moved back further? I think you mentioned something about the end of February being possible in a previous video, but I just noticed a couple of sites changed their (shipping in a few weeks) to (shipping in a few months). Maybe you have some insight? Thanks for all you do.
Hi Chuck, I know this is old video but I am in the market for a new keyboard. Two come to mind. The Numa X - GT88 used for $2,445 and the Roland RD 2000 for $2,869. Each is used or a demo. The RD 2000 looks really used though with finger prints that shine in places most touched. I have a Korg workstation but it is older and I also do a lot of recording as a composer using a DAW. I need a far better key action, internal sounds in case the computer dies for whatever reason, and good acoustic grand piano sound for studio work and outdoor parties. Which of the two would you say would be the better overall keyboard?
Both are great keyboards. I own the cp88 and this numa x piano GT. My music local store owns the Roland Rd2000. It is a great action. Very similar like the numa GT. But after playing for 5 min my fingers started to get tired 😅. I believe the numa GT is Slightly lighter than the rd2000.
@@ispianist Thanks for your comment. Just a reminder that virtually all keyboards have a key 'touch' adjustment where you can make the action heavier or lighter to accommodate the action that's more suited to your needs.

@musicbycandlelightmbc3225 Yes I do play jazz with my current band. Also some salsa music. I do practice daily on my numa and I don't get that sensation because my fingers are used to that weight. When I tried the Rd2000 was putting my effort When pressing the keys. I am sure your fingers will adjust to that weight if you buy the roland. To be honest is better practicing with heavier action. Your fingers get stronger. I have been playing piano since I was 13 years old. Now I am 36. I had played many different brands of grand pianos. The action of the studiologic feels closer to a steinway piano. I am not very convinced of the piano tone. But I use vst most of the time. I use it mostly as a midi controller.
