Hi Kenny, im not normally a commenter, but I have to say thank you for all your Reapermania content. Your videos have helped me immensely to get so much more out of Reaper. I could not have done it with out your guidance and demonstrations. Thank you Thank you.
What a time to be a musician and be alive! Free (or almost free) DAW software, free high quality instrument plugins, free instruction (thanks Kenny!). Now all I need is free time to absorb it all.
I'm going to say the quickest, and IMO the most accurate thing about producers making DAWS their main medium in audio production: Kenny Gioia is the most competent, informed and for my money the nicest producer on youTube. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication in getting Reaper out into the mainstream and talked about. To me the Reaper DAW owes a LOT of its success to your videos. Ok, so not so quick of a statement. It's easy to geek out on talking about his dedication to music education and production. Thank you, Kenny, from someone who purchased and learned from scratch on Reaper.
Kenny I think you're the absolute BEST, you have helped me learn so much about Reaper over the last 10 years I wish I could buy you some beers! Love the new format you've been using. Btw- not sure if anyone else has ever suggested this but I think you would be great at reading e-books and things of that nature. You have a very clear and concise way of speaking that I believe could potentially earn some good money (unless you're already doing that :P ) - Thanks for the video!!
This is a great review of a great plugin. Good sounds, free, versatile, and EASY TO USE, which is where so many other plugins fail. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and really appreciate reviews of little gems like this!
Dear Kenny, Just like Russel, i rarely post any comments, but I feel compelled to tell you that your tutorials and videos have made a world of difference in my Reaper experience. And for many reasons in my life. Not only are your clips perfectly constructed, edited, and commented, they are also perfectly aimed. You have a real talent for keeping things clear, concise, understandable, and straight to the point. So, even though I am sure that many people already told you this, I felt like telling you once more: You are simply the best and thank you. I could not have done what I have done this past two years without you. Thank you from France. PB
This is wonderful! Thanks so much Kenny! You make the Reaper world so great. Love the Reaper community it's the absolute best. Thanks for all your fantastic input over the years Kenny! Cheers.
Kenny - You my hero in music production. It was very daunting and seemed impossible to learn music production without your videos. Your videos are the reason why I bought Reaper license. Thanks a billion.
Thanks Kenny! Coming over from Protools this was my one gripe: the lack of virtual instruments. This fills a big gap for me. I’ve been looking for a decent replacement for Air mini grand and Air DB33. Now, if you wouldn’t mind changing your intro I’d appreciate it. I’ve been watching so many of your videos I’ve got a concussion from you smacking me around so much! 😵💫💥🫲
I don't think I've ever taken the time, Kenny, to thank you for your extraordinary tutorials -- I've literally learned almost everything I know about Reaper, and about recording techniques and approaches from you. I'll never be able to repay that debt, but please know how grateful I am. I've just downloaded this amazing plugin and I am loving it the possibilities. One feature I I don't think you mentioned, Kenny, is that you can set the midi input channel for each of the four instruments separately, so it's possible to have one instance of the plugin running, and send four different midi tracks to the four instruments, each on a separate channel. You could record them all on the one track, I think, by setting your keyboard to send on say, MIDI Channel 1, record the piano part, then switch to MIDI Channel 2, to overdub the Electric Piano, Channel 3 for a Marimiba, and Channel 4 for strings. Or you could do each MIDI recording on its own track, and use sends and receives to route each part to the corresponding instrument on a single "Numa Player" track. Just sharing in case it's useful to someone... Thanks again!
I fancy myself a bit of a free plugin know-it-all. I'm always thinking I know every free free plugin and effect out there so it's always astonishing (and humbling) when I learn of a new one from a video like this instead of from my own research. Kenny G taking me to school again! 🚸🙏
Once again, great video!! Can you please do a video on editing and adding VST-VST3-VSTi search paths, that seems to be my downfall is not knowing where to put different plugins and then trying to figure out how to find them to add into Reaper once I've downloaded them
Hey can you please help me how to run Numa player on reaper?? I have downloaded the exe file and saved it in vst file. But even after scanning vst its not showing up in reaper. Please spare few minutes in telling how did you install it. It will be a great lifesaver help. Plz
@@slu9202 I haven't much idea to suggest than that, unfortunately. I didn't do much, I installed it on my usual vst path, cleared the cache and rescan on reaper, and it just worked... Sorry :/ Maybe the people on Reaper's forum would be of a better help?
DEAR KENNY!! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for what you do. Thanks to you I entered the world of REAPER in a professional and good way. Beyond being a professional in your field..you are a great teacher !! Your detailed explanations in each area have expanded my knowledge and abilities in general. Thank you very much and much success in continuing your journey. Waiting for the next video!
this is amazing! ive only got into DAW recording this past few years, so ive kinda been gathering plugins as i go along, so my bank is kinda messy, this will tidy it up nicely...kenny, you are a real legend!
Wow, how is this plugin free??? It sounds pretty amazing. I'm going to download it before I leave for work, in case they change their mind about the "free." 😎
If like me, you couldn't find a .dll file, there isn't one with this type (VST3) of plugin. Get Reaper to add a further scan path "C:/Program Files/Common Files(x86)/VST3" or "C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST3" and you shouldn't get this problem again. Also....BUY A LICENCE !
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful videos, Kenny! There are always some glitches (inconsistent volume, choked notes, etc.) when I render out my Reaper project with the NUMA player sounds which does not happen with other plugins that I use. Do you have any idea what might be the issue?
Hi Kenny. I downloaded the Numa Player for Reaper but it is not showing up in Reaper VST section and no dll files either. Any suggestions as what to do to get the dll files for this?
Hi Kenny, Can't get this Numa Player to work . Downloaded it perfectly in the right place but to no avail. What am I doing wrong? I have put a question on the forum as well Paul Millington ( Millsy)

Am I the only one who gets excited when a new Kenny tutorial drops? I mean … I _CANNOT_ be the only one 🤩
You’re not alone, my friend. You are in really good company 🤠👍
No, checking almost every day if there is a new tutorial 😁
Happy Birthday Kenny!

Thanks Kenny! Some of those pianos have a late 70’s - 80’s vibe 👌🏼Can’t wait to download!
Kenny - You my hero in music production. It was very daunting and seemed impossible to learn music production without your videos. Your videos are the reason why I bought Reaper license.
Thanks a billion.
Thanks, Kenny! The Numa player sounds great and was easy to set up with my MIDI keyboard.
This looks awesome. I rarely touch my keyboard but will do after seeing this. The images for each instrument is a nice touch
Fabulous find ! ... but no VST in Windows 7 ? - only the stand alone version installed on my system.
For anyone wondering, the site says Windows 10 is required, but it did install the VSTi under Windows 8.1 and it works just fine.
Awesome VST
Tks for sharing!
Thank you reaper mania for this lessons.
Wonderful time to be a lone musician recording in a trailer home somewhere, anywhere. Thanks Kenny, beautiful collection of tutorials
Oow I love the CP80-1978 piano. Put me in mind of Banks' piano sounds on 'Duke'. Sounds good
Thanks Kenny! Coming over from Protools this was my one gripe: the lack of virtual instruments. This fills a big gap for me.

It's to be sure the audience is fully awake. I should do that with my students.
He hits you because he loves you
😝
Thank you Kenny
Thanks Kenny! That's awesome!
Awesome plugin. Thanks for the tip
Hark, I think I hear Pachelbel's Canon ;-) Thanks very kindly for the tip, Mr. Gioia~!
I'd not come across this plug in, Thanks as always, Kenny!!
Kenny the man.... Does it again!
Seems like a very nice plug-in with some practical features. Thanks!
Oh! I own a Studiologic keyboard and I didn't knew about this. Thanks so much!
4:49 Sounds like the Let It Be from Hell 🙃

This is way too comprehensive to be free. Wow! Perfect freebie for Reaper newbies (and oldies).
thanks. Numa Player is indeed great.
Kenny Thanks! Very Cool VSTi
Great! Thanks for the heads-up on this Kenny! You da man :)
Thank You Kenny. New here so I'm glad your around. You made Reaper easy to understand and use.
Kenny, I know you've heard it, but you are SUPER HOOPING right now, you are the best !!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Kenny. I'd never know about any of this stuff if it wasn't for your videos.
Wow, Kenny, you make me feel like a 'Numa' man....;0)!
Super awesome!! Thank you my brother !
Thank you Kenny, that's an awesome VSTi! Downloaded and running on my Reaper.

EXCELLANT Vid! Thanks for letting people know about
this amazing software!
I have been looking all around for a lightweight piano vst to make a outline of the melody I created. Not any more...
DEAR KENNY!!
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for what you do.
Thanks to you I entered the world of REAPER in a professional and good way.
Beyond being a professional in your field..you are a great teacher !!
Your detailed explanations in each area have expanded my knowledge and abilities in general.

Those sound really nice!
Thanks so much.
WOW This is actualy better than Spitfire LABS. Thank you.
Thanks Kenny, great free plugin. gonna download.
Nice video ✌ Amazing 👍👍
this is amazing! ive only got into DAW recording this past few years, so ive kinda been gathering plugins as i go along, so my bank is kinda messy, this will tidy it up nicely...kenny, you are a real legend!
Thanks
@@REAPERMania omg this works as a standalone app, wtf? wow! can we midi map controls on standalone mode? i cant seem to work it lol
Numa is amazing really 🎩
Excellent plugin suggestion, Kenny. Thank you for sharing.
Tbh, there's no reason you can't make music these days.. Lots of great free vsti and samples available.. And affordable daw Reaper
cheers kenny, for your channel and this plugin. j.
It's very good to have some smaller piano VST, but with anyway very, very, very good sound.
Excellent, downloaded Numa as I watched the video runs as standalone too, not a bloated file either 205 MB and sounds great!, tnx Kenny
Great Tutorial , thanks! that plugin is perfect!
Failed to lunch on reaper v6.57 under Maverics although is marked as Maverics compatible by the developer. "The following effect could not be loaded"
You sold me!
Lovely, thanks.
This is just great
Wow, how is this plugin free??? It sounds pretty amazing. I'm going to download it before I leave for work, in case they change their mind about the "free." 😎
those are soundfonts, it seems a Sforzando facelift.
Kenny 💪💪💪
Just downloaded. Thanks dude!
It a great plugin my only downside I found is that it will not do multi audio outputs. But hopefully the dev will add it to a future release.
You could run multiple instances on separate tracks, arm them all with the same midi input.
Slightly more cluttered, but accomplishes the same goal.
@@dannylemmon Yes I agree also more resources used. It is a great plugin not doubt. Just wish it had that feature.
Wow. This is awesome. Can't believe it's free.
Excellent. I do need a Harpsichord and nice Celeste! Thank you.
Who doesn't? LOL
@@REAPERMania ❤
The midi keyboard range is for splitting the keyboard. Not sure you knew that since you bypassed the setting.
Gracias hermano!
... thanks Kenny 😉🎼 very practical and interesting player. Too bad I can't try it with my "Subaru PC W7 x32 😅😂🤗 a hug 😉🎼
Sir you are great ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is cool - thanks!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks
If like me, you couldn't find a .dll file, there isn't one with this type (VST3) of plugin.
Get Reaper to add a further scan path "C:/Program Files/Common Files(x86)/VST3" or "C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST3" and you shouldn't get this problem again.
Also....BUY A LICENCE !
I've added the whole c:/program files map ahhaahah
Thanks, now I found the VST3-file under C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST3
“tha numa… playah”
Great vid!👏
Thanks
Great free plugin, wrap two!
Great !!
Fab!!!!
Thank you so much for all of the wonderful videos, Kenny! There are always some glitches (inconsistent volume, choked notes, etc.) when I render out my Reaper project with the NUMA player sounds which does not happen with other plugins that I use. Do you have any idea what might be the issue?
Hi Kenny. I downloaded the Numa Player for Reaper but it is not showing up in Reaper VST section and no dll files either. Any suggestions as what to do to get the dll files for this?
Hi Kenny, Can't get this Numa Player to work . Downloaded it perfectly in the right place but to no avail. What am I doing wrong? I have put a question on the forum as well Paul Millington ( Millsy)
Hi Kenny
This is a great plugin and free what more could we want. I'm going to make some nice tracks with this thanks.
Reminds me a bit of the xpand vst
Xpand has more presets but I think these sound a lot better.
Anyone know how to prevent the thumping sound that is made when pushing the sustain/hold pedal without disabling the sustain/hold pedal?
I figured it out. Just turn down "Damper Noise" in the Sound Controls section. You'll see it in the Acoustic Piano and Electric Piano sections.
Is that a post-added onscreen piano keyboard, or a virtual keybed from reaper? Looks nice but not reaper native..
It's a separate program.
Does it work in Windows 7?
Hi, thank you for your tutorial. I buyed this studiologic numa x gt 88.It's hamazing. Regard Modesto
can we do something about SUSTAIN ?
amazing, when a discount?
Numa player has trouble changing voices. Selection of another sound often makes no difference. Seems to get stuck on one sound.
Are you using the arrows on your keyboard to change sounds? Because that doesn't work for me either. I have to click each sound. PITA.
I can't see the VST even after installing it to my Reaper VST directory.
Solved. Needed to learn about VST3. Needs to install in a VST3 directory.
Covers a lot of ground. Do the Electric or Acoustic pianos have a sustain pedal?
They work with a sustain pedal.
