Studiologic Numa Compact X SE - Great Stage Keys for Less?

[@Kingstonlomusic]

As a Numa X Piano GT owner, I loved how it's an audio interface, fully fledged controller with aftertouch, expression pedal assignable inputs, and triple pedal support. It have fantastic piano touch, irrelevant here though, and have decent on board sounds. For the price, it's amazing. What's missing is the organ drawbar this one has. But maybe because of the price, there's some janks you may have to deal with: 1.the screen will deteriorate, have some weird strips appear after turned on for a few hours. 2.the midi signal of the sustain pedal will send to usb midi out even when the midi is turned off (which can be a nice bug when I want to sustain other midi device with the same pedal ) 3.recording with the 4 input are unable to separate from on board sound; inconvenient for recording simple multitracks. Makes these 4 input less useful than it could. 4.somehow the sample rate is fixed to 48kHz, can be problematic in 41kHz projects. Maybe I'm the only one, but bear this in mind when you purchase a Numa

Love it when Jack just shreads a jazzy gospel organ with rotaries

This video is making me glad I didn't spend double or triple on a Nord Electro 6D or the Yamaha YC 73! The piano, Rhodes and organ sounds are very comparable as far as I can tell. Now if I could only try one in person. In SoCal, GC and SamAsh are dismal disappointments these days!

Great demo

[@joezazasin7]

This thing is awesome. The sounds are very impressive

Something I love about my Numa Compact 2 (the non-X) is that while it is a full-range keyboard with good piano sounds, it's also really lightweight since it doesn't have weighted keys. Most full piano keyboards will also have weighted keys for the piano people, which makes them harder to transport. As far as I can tell, the Numa Compact, X or non-X, the best combination of sound, range, portability, AND affordability. Perfect for someone like me who doesn't own a car and just carries the keyboard walking and commuting.

i use one of the older models (compact 2x) as a main midi board with my computer, its cool that it acts as its own interface. speakers very handy, great action. the piano sounds on this one seem a little better but not crazy improved. same with the organ. al the other sounds were already good. nice playing as well jack.

[@mshhoward]

Really cool product for being so affordable...wow!

[@jsabados]

Is there much difference between the X SE and the 2x? I can't tell very well from the pictures I see of them.

[@4estral]

I would take this over a CK88 any day. A 61+key version with all the same features would be nice, even with synth-style keys.

[@BongoBaggins]

That's it. I want one.

[@allansoncruickshank721]

A considered purchasing one, but I wanted the waited keys. That is the only reason I didn't buy it. It is an excellent keyboard for that price.

[@kodybryantmusic7357]

I need a fill shootout between this and the Nord stage 4 like it isn't five times the price!

[@martysmagicalmusicmancave]

Is it similar action wise to an Electro 6d ??

[@JoeLinux2000]

Those are good strings. Amazon has several different models. What are the differences?

[@BongoBaggins]

Andertons is a shop, and Bezos is rich enough

[@bloemundude]

Numa. Numa. Yay. I hate myself, too.

Piano sounds better than my ck

[@andreschato]

I have the Numa Compact 2x and this version seems like it could have been a simple firmware update.

[@algarvemike]

I have the 2X bought ram Andertons. It has simply cut-out at gigs twice, so 9s now relegated as a midi controller in my studio. It simply isn’t reliable enough. This fault has been highlighted further on the Facebook user page.. disappointing

[@yodamandala]

whats the difference between the se and the se X

[@geoffwebber8272]

X

[@yodamandala]

ok x has drawbars and other features

[@paulmoadibe9321]

[@pianostuff191]

I'ts actually half the price.
