I think the point of this instrument is to create your own unique piano type sounds. As it’s not using samples but physical modelling, it’s up to the user to use synthesis to find THEIR piano. Nord, Yamaha, Roland are fantastic but they are essentially playing back a recorded sample. Which is great, especially when they are well recorded, but those samples will sound the same from one unit to the next and thus making everyone who owns one, sound the same. Much like using a stock preset on a guitar amp modeller. There’s no unique identity, or signature sound of the player’s unit. For better or for worse, this is what this instrument is for. If the player isn’t willing to invest their time to finding their voice with it, then a sample based product is probably better suited.
Yes, has voices Pipe Organ and Hammond Organ, NUMA X Piano 73 and NUMA X Piano GT have the same sound equipment: ruclips.net/video/rAkuk2O0qbA/видео.html
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 got a Roland RD2000. You want to talk tonnage, it's darned near as much as the GT? Anyway, if I can find a store that has a GT on hand, I just might buy one. Not easy to come by.
That was released 8 years ago so yeah, it's probably ridiculously heavy and out-dated so I'm unclear what that's go to do with the above? @@ThomasSielaff
Yeah I'm kinda looking at the non GT version just as a midi controller as the sounds haven't impressed me but the keyboard return does, as that's what I don't like about the SL controllers they feel very sluggish.
It sounds great until you hear it side by side with a Nord or a Yamaha, then it starts to sound thin and weak. I'm sure you can beef it up with EQ, but you can get a Yamaha for around the same price.
I own this one and the CP88. I totally agree with you. The cp88 has way better piano sound. More robust and refined. But the key action of this keyboard is the best that I have played so far. The cp88 feels cheap compared to the touch of this keyboard. I also tried the roland rd2000 and this keyboard feels superior than the roland rd2000.
I own it. Fantastic board. But I use Native Instruments Noire which is far better than any native DP sound. And this thing works so simply with VSTs. A single USB-C to midi cable is it.
@@ispianistthanks for the heads-up. To be honest, it’s sounding a bit thin on this demo, too. Have you seen the RUclips review by Dr Mix? He tweaked the settings (which looks nice and simple) and came up with a “beefier” piano sound - I wonder how this would compare with one of those others (or with the Kawaii ES 920 - I like the Kawaii sound)?
Look's & sound's like a great piece of kit¡ What is the synth engine actually derived from, it's polyphonic timbrality, sequencer capability and how is the MIDI implementation¿Fine demo otherwise thanx dude(s)
I think it's better to play a classic like chopin ballade no. 1 in g minor or whatever, to find out if the keys and sound produced are similar to a grand piano
Key difference is that GT has a keybed which is designed to be more like a grand piano. There may be other differences, but this is the one that I am most aware of.
GT stands for Grand Touch. Has the TP400 Wood hybrid Keyboard. Basically more graded action with a new polymer with wooden sides. I won it. It plays absolutely beautifully.
The synth sounds are thin and sounds like weak 90's pcm presets with studiologic pianos. It's odd, because their Sledge synth is a killer product. Piano and Organ sounds are good with all Studiologic products. Their Stagepianos needs however, much better synth and other sounds.

Hi! Do you know if there is a way to turn off all the lights on the panel?
Does it have Pipe Organ sound or Organ sound?

Anyone know how this compares to the Numa Compact?

Piano sounds are good. Synth section + other stuff = rubbish
¿What makes you think that?

Interesting analysis, thank you for sharing your thoughts more tangibly. I get what you mean now.
ça "claque" trop ! M'inspire pas du tout ce son trop brillant ...
Not as good as a Nord Stage, Nord Stage sounds more like a real piano
Nord Stage might have better pianos but keybed action numa is in another league.
You buy this because the midi integration and key action is unbeatable. Nord doesn't offer that. Completely different boards if you ask me .
That opening piano sound is terrible!
