HammondDave Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Wow! Sounds amazing. Will Update it this week when I get back to the Canyon House where my Numa lives.

counterpoint Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Downloaded it and also was lucky enough to snag the new Studio D sound before it was pulled down. Definitely improves the ability to tailor the sound to your playing circumstance...and of course sounds great. It will be interesting to see how the experts here think it ranks compared to the best acoustic offerings on other hardware (Nord/Yamaha/Korg/Roland/Casio/Kawai)...but I suggest waiting until the Studio D is released before making those comparisons.

My Keys And Me Are Vintage Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I am impressed with the ongoing support from Studiologic. I still had more tweaking to do on the new Stage D, and now I will start over with a whole new acoustic modelling engine! The remainder of today will be spent sitting in front of my Numa GT (hopefully!). Thank you, Studiologic! You notice the Numa video posted with the firmware upgrade is using the new Stage D? Might not be long before we see the "official" version of this new piano. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaJockey Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Did the update. I don't know whether I'm becoming more accustomed to how Studiologic software operates, or their flow and ease of use has become more streamlined, ( a bit of both I suspect), but the firmware update was absolutely flawless. The prompts and actions were all in the right place at the right time, and visual feedback was excellent. Not had time to delve too deeply, but the already excellent pianos do seem more natural. Can't fault the keybed velocity response so far either. Well done👍 Quote The companions I can't live without: Kawai Acoustic Grand, Yamaha MontageM8x, Studiologic Numa Piano X GT, Other important stuff: Novation Summit, NI Komplete Ultimate 14 CE, Omnisphere, EW Hollywood and Fantasy Orchestra, Spitfire Albion and Symphony, Pianoteq 8 Pro, Roland RD88.

dfcas Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I know they say Mac compatible, but are they truly Mac friendly? Considering a Numa X and thats a concern. I dont have a Windows machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberGene Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I’m a Mac only person and have no issues with my Numa X, the manager app works great, the USB Audio interface works without need for drivers on both my Mac and iPad/iPhone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammondDave Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Just updated my firmware to 2.4 and it sounds amazing! I have not heard a DP sound this realistic! In addition, the playing sensitivity range has been adjusted so my fingers just fly across this keyboard. This, along with the new “Piano D” piano, makes this update pretty incredible. Again, if you didn’t get the Piano D upgrade you can contact me through PM and I will email it to you. 1 Quote '55 and '59 B3's; Leslies 147, 122, 21H; MODX 7+; NUMA Piano X 88; Motif XS7; Mellotrons M300 and M400’s; Wurlitzer 206; Gibson G101; Vox Continental; Mojo 61; Launchkey 88 Mk III; Korg Module; B3X; Model D6; Moog Model D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammondDave Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 "The firmware update 2.4 also brings a significant improvement in the detection of repeated notes, greatly enhancing the responsiveness and accuracy of the keyboard. We made sure that notes played quickly, especially in techniques such as ribattuto, are captured with precision, allowing seamless repetition without losing the clarity or intensity of each note" This new keyboard sensitivity scaling is outstanding. It's like playing a whole new instrument! 2 Quote '55 and '59 B3's; Leslies 147, 122, 21H; MODX 7+; NUMA Piano X 88; Motif XS7; Mellotrons M300 and M400’s; Wurlitzer 206; Gibson G101; Vox Continental; Mojo 61; Launchkey 88 Mk III; Korg Module; B3X; Model D6; Moog Model D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking exactly the same thing. it's definitely one of the best digital pianos in its class now. together with a yc61 or a nord stage 3 or an ipad it’s a killer lightweight keyboard setup which offers just everything I‘ll ever need.

It's like playing a whole new instrument! This may sound like a stupid question but do you think these new updates make it a better keybed to play? I had one early on when released and loved the form factor but didn’t gel with the action and pianos. Went for a CP73 instead but I still have a hankering to try the Numa again with the newer updates. Quote Yamaha MODX8, Legend Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally sat down and played passages I could not play before on that keyboard. Now you can make it as light as a feather. The range is so wide now. 4 Quote '55 and '59 B3's; Leslies 147, 122, 21H; MODX 7+; NUMA Piano X 88; Motif XS7; Mellotrons M300 and M400’s; Wurlitzer 206; Gibson G101; Vox Continental; Mojo 61; Launchkey 88 Mk III; Korg Module; B3X; Model D6; Moog Model D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
