@jacob Here is a wild idea, Would love go with you on a Thrift-Store-Keyboard-Hunt, and just demo live all the crappy keyboards we come across. Cause you just make anything with🎹 sound amazing 🥰 fanboy right here 🧡
Hey Jacob Merry Christmas! to you and a Sweetwater team. I really like the first piece you played. I play piano and long time I am waiting for the replacement of Kawai MP11SE but it’s already a too much waiting and now I have a one more option Studio-Logic NUMA-X-GT. I really love the sound acoustic and electric, sounds too good some how I feel it’s a better sounding piano in current competition in same category and also suits to pocket. I have no doubt about sound but only little worried about the key action but I hope TP400 give satisfaction to the professional piano player. Only two important reason I love Kawai 1) Grand-Feel2 action and 2) It’s a very good as a controller. I am not a big fan of fatar keys but every company works for better future in making business and TP400 look interesting. It would be a great if you can make video one action comparison Kawai MP11SE/Yamaha CP88 and Roland RD2000. Thank you so much 🙏 Have a wonderful festival season. 🎄🎄🎄❤️🤗
Just want to share this. JESUS CHRIST died for you on a cross for our sins. 3 days after his death he resurrected and was, is, and will be The TRUE LIVING GOD. In a prayer repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and also ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to come into you in that same prayer as well. Have FAITH in CHRIST. You could come to Jesus Christ as you are, but once you accept Him, you have to become new, change, and be born again, and turn away from all wicked ways. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God Bless You. JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON.
Love that opening piece! And really nice sounding demo, overall. Thanks Jacob and Sweetwater! Really hope to pick one of these up when they become available....
The opening piece is from "Le Tombeau de Couperin' by the French Composer - Maurice Ravel. It's cool that you took note, but...I find it extremely sad that the vast majority of people these days - especially Americans are totally Ignorant about the amazing Classical Music Tradition of Europe, and for that matter, 20th century American Classical Music! C'mon Man - DIG IN THERE!
@@markdarnell614 It's a phenomenal piece, the first time I heard it several years back was a rendition by Gary Burton and Makoto Ozone on their 2002 duet album Virtuosi. I've got the sheet music laying someone around the house...
can’t wait to get mine! this sounds nicer to my ear than the nord! i just pre ordered it, hope i enjoy my new keyboard! hope it comes before jan but that’s def not happening but the wait will be worth it im sure
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.
Save $1000 and get the studio 88 grand. I'm still playing my Korg M50 and looking for a new keyboard. Just got Kontakt 7 and Komplete 14 standard. But not sure if I want a strictly midi controller or a synth/workstation. Am only a home player.
I love my yamaha xf8. But this thing sounds great! Love the Mark 1 presets. Very warm. Put this keyboard with a good sound system? OMG! Like this a lot!😌🎹🎶👍🏾
It may be that the TP400W action of this Numa is a marked improvement over that of the Nord Pianos (i.e., lighter and more expressive than the TP40 Nord uses), but the ac. pianos sound thin and brittle. (Nord’s piano samples- especially the more recent ones- are really unbeatable in a hardware axe.) Sure, one could use the Numa to control, say, a Nord Electro 6D, but that really defeats the purpose of the Numa, and what pianist wants to carry what would essentially be a nearly-50lb. controller in addition to the Nord? From what I can surmise, Studiologic TOTALLY missed the mark on this one.
The pianos sound great, i think the rhodes and wurly sounds off though because of it's fysical modelling. I wished they would sample the rhodes and wurly to the max, and the pianos too, bigger samples! and skip the rest of the sounds.
Oh lord please let the new tp/110 action be good because on paper the X 73 paired with a something like a YC61, Electro etc. sounds like a perfect combo.
This keyboard uses the fatar flagship keybed. Nord piano uses fatar tp40 not even close to this. This is the tp400 wood. Nord has way better piano tone. But this keyboard has more capabilities to play live.
@Sweetwater Jacob, did you have a chance to try the 73 Keys? How the new TP/110 feels compared to the old TP/100? They told me it is “much more controllable”, but they didn’t state if it feels lighter than the SL Studio 73.
@@lespetitszoiseaux3774 It definitely is mistaken. The Studiologic website explicitly mention in the specs “88 or 73 Keys, TP/110 Premium Hammer Action”
The piano you demo always sound great, but buy one and plug into a typical setup they don't sound as good. What is the signal chain you're running that Numa X through?
You should try playing thru Mackie. The SRM series are particularly good for we piano players. I have found both Bose and JBL column-style PA systems to be not so great for piano.
Great demo. Not sure if you mentioned this but are there any user presets, if so how many? Is there seamless changing from one sound to another? Thanks!
Hello, ToastandJam52! This unit has 200 factory presets and 250 user presets available. Of course, there will always be some degree of a lag when loading a new preset, but the Numa X is fairly seamless in this regard. It does allow you to sustain the existing patch as you transition to the new patch. Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1766, cody_kraus@sweetwater.com
Hi, Hien. The big difference is that the Studiologic does not have built-in speakers. The Casio also has a few more sounds and includes a stand, but is about $500 more.

Where did you get this unit, and does your having it mean they are now in stock? Also, any chance you could demo some of the solo orchestra sounds: flutes, trumpets, clarinets, vibes? I have a Privia PXS3000 and the piano is great, but the solo instruments are a bit lack luster for a jazz trio like mine. I am wondering if I should make the jump to the Numa X.
There's another version of this which is the Non-GT. What's the difference between these two? I really can't find much anywhere that explain the differences. The other 88 is like $500 less.
Great question, and thanks for your interest! They are essentially the same except that the GT model additionally has wood side panels and key escapement.

You should try both before dociding. I had cp88, changed it for nx gt. Both are beauties, cp88 is a safe option, but numa surprised me positively. Has more imagination soundwise.
I never understood why digital pianos of this class (~$2000 price) are so heavy (~20kg)? I wish they made them lighter retaining all the advanced features.
Generally, the better the keybed quality -- especially for piano-like action -- the heavier the keybed and thus the more structure needed to support it. If it's a stage instrument like this, you also want it to be solid enough to survive the gig!
@@DouglasFlather, agreed that >40 lbs is a lot to lug. I loved my VIVO S3 Pro because it was so light but such solid build quality, incredible sound, and nice keybed (for a TP-100 ;), it was perfect for gigging. Unfortunately, I just really needed full 88 keys for the studio. But thus extremely happy with my new S7 Pro. But nonetheless very interested in the Numa X GT!
Hi, Jamie - great question! So the easiest way to achieve that is assign the footswitch to change patches, and have one patch with the effects on and one identical one with them off. You can save and recall settings, as well. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
Hey, Johnathan. Thank you for your interest in the Studiologic Numa X! If you want to use a looper with this keyboard you will need to use either floor or table top style loopers like the Boss RC series. A mixer wouldn’t be able to accomplish what you need there, but if you have any other questions feel free to reach out! Thanks and take care. Jack Wellington, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3240, jack_wellington@sweetwater.com
Assuming this keyboard has no built in speakers, what gear are you using for sound reinforcement on this demo? I am a novice regarding external sound equipment.
Hello, great question! On keyboards like this it really comes down to personal preference as far as what you are looking for feature-wise. So it would not be fair to say either is better or worse than the other, just different. Give us a call if you need help deciding and we can find which is better for your specific needs. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
Yes! The sustain pedal IS included in this piano! Unlike my Fantom8 (the big one!) the piano sounds same with sustain pedal on as without sustain pedal. Shame Roland!
@@lespetitszoiseaux3774 You're aware I am talking about the sustain pedal effect on the sound right? On an acoustic piano, when you press down the sustain pedal, all the other strings vibrate sympathetically just like a reverb effect. On my Roland Fantom 8, I get the very same sound playing a chord and holding the keys down as playing the chord using the sustain pedal and let go the keys. Unacceptable for a that expensive workstation/keyboard. BTW are you Basque?
Can you switch sounds really quickly on this thing though? As Im thinking of getting this one but I have to switch sounds mid-song sometimes and have like maybe asecond to switch which I currently use a yamaha p 125 for. What do you think? :) Thanks!
Hello, Delirium! Patch changing on this keyboard is nearly instantaneous. Naturally, there is a little bit of a lag, but it is certainly usable for on the fly switching during a live performance. Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1766, cody_kraus@sweetwater.com
Hi, Elazar. The Studiologic Numa X has the Fatar TP/110 Action. The SL73 has the TP/100LR Action. They are similar, the TP/110 is ostensibly newer but the differences will be mostly subjective and relatively minor. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
Can you switch sounds quickly on this keyboard? Like within a second or so quickly? Looking for a new piano with my band but need quick switches at times :)
Hi, thanks for your interest! There are a few ways you can change the sound on the Numa X Piano GT. For a live performance, the quickest way would probably be to set up a list of Favorites. You can have up to 24 sounds on the list, in any order you choose, and you’d be able to switch between them quickly by using the main encoder. Hope this helps a bit, and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions! Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com
Hi, thanks for your interest! The SL88 Grand actually uses the TP/40WOOD keybed - so the biggest difference is wooden keys on the SL88 vs. plastic on the Numa X. They're both great-feeling, weighted Fatar keybeds. Keep in mind that the SL88 is only a MIDI controller and does not have sounds on board like the Numa X. Hope this helps a bit, and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions! Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com
Hi, Eli! Thanks for your interest. After scrolling through the Program pages to change parameters on a given Program, the last page should give you the option to rename and save the Program. Alternatively, it might be easier to use the Numa Manager software to organize and edit your Programs. Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions! Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com
Hi, Antoine - good question. This piano uses the Fatar TP/400 keybed which is triple sensor. Thanks! Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
It's not "new", although this is the first TP-400WOOD ES (escapement) that's shown up in a stage instrument anywhere near this price-point, AFAIK. I think the Studiologic SL88 Grand also has the TP-40 or -400 WOOD, but not with the escapement option. The high-end Dexibells (e.g H10) do, but that's geared toward the home market and costs well over $6k USD if you can find them. That said, most manufacturers customise Fatar keybeds to one degree or another when they put them in their instruments. And, of course, Studiologic and Fatar are tied at the hip!
@@blueeyedsoulman, I’m not sure what you mean. In a real piano action, escapement actually allows you to play much faster by moving (escaping) the hammer mechanism off of the key action, allowing one to “re-trigger” the key much sooner than if the hammer first had to return back to the base position, or if the key and hammer were tightly coupled. It doesn’t serve much use in a digital keyboard (with possible exception of very high end Kawai action, though I don’t know how the Fatar action works, here), but what it does do is give a more piano-like experience for the player. For someone more used to synthesisers, organs, or for whom the piano is not a primary instrument, this isn’t a terribly useful option. But for folks looking for the most piano like feel to go with the best piano sound they can get, escapement is really essential.
not bad at all...but can't possibly beat one vintage yamaha keyboard that costs between £60-£160 on ebay...and i am not going to say which keyboard that is ...for understandable reasons...and no choir on any keyboard beats the good old roland fp5 choir....that is the epic one!

Hi, Jamie - great question! So the easiest way to achieve that is assign the footswitch to change patches, and have one patch with the effects on and one identical one with them off. You can save and recall settings, as well.
Thanks!

Using only the sounds of this keyboard, is it possible to use the 4 channel mixer as a looper or sequencer?
Hey, Johnathan. Thank you for your interest in the Studiologic Numa X! If you want to use a looper with this keyboard you will need to use either floor or table top style loopers like the Boss RC series. A mixer wouldn’t be able to accomplish what you need there, but if you have any other questions feel free to reach out! Thanks and take care.

Assuming this keyboard has no built in speakers, what gear are you using for sound reinforcement on this demo? I am a novice regarding external sound equipment.
Teresa, try the Mackie SRM series. Very effective for digital piano.
In what ways would this be better than a Fantom 08 for the sameish money? Seems you get a bit more with the Fantom?
Hello, great question! On keyboards like this it really comes down to personal preference as far as what you are looking for feature-wise. So it would not be fair to say either is better or worse than the other, just different.
Give us a call if you need help deciding and we can find which is better for your specific needs. Thanks!

What monitors is this hooked up to?
How heavy is this thing
Yes! The sustain pedal IS included in this piano! Unlike my Fantom8 (the big one!) the piano sounds same with sustain pedal on as without sustain pedal. Shame Roland!
@@lespetitszoiseaux3774 You're aware I am talking about the sustain pedal effect on the sound right? On an acoustic piano, when you press down the sustain pedal, all the other strings vibrate sympathetically just like a reverb effect. On my Roland Fantom 8, I get the very same sound playing a chord and holding the keys down as playing the chord using the sustain pedal and let go the keys. Unacceptable for a that expensive workstation/keyboard. BTW are you Basque?
Can you switch sounds really quickly on this thing though? As Im thinking of getting this one but I have to switch sounds mid-song sometimes and have like maybe asecond to switch which I currently use a yamaha p 125 for. What do you think? :) Thanks!
Hello, Delirium! Patch changing on this keyboard is nearly instantaneous. Naturally, there is a little bit of a lag, but it is certainly usable for on the fly switching during a live performance.
Thanks for the interest!

What action does the 73 key Studiologic Numa x piano use? Is it better than the SL73?
Hi, Elazar. The Studiologic Numa X has the Fatar TP/110 Action. The SL73 has the TP/100LR Action. They are similar, the TP/110 is ostensibly newer but the differences will be mostly subjective and relatively minor. Thanks!

Can you switch sounds quickly on this keyboard? Like within a second or so quickly? Looking for a new piano with my band but need quick switches at times :)
Si amigo, en este teclado es muy facil cambiar los sonidos, esta hecho para presentaciones en vivo y tambien para estudio con su interface integrada
Hi, thanks for your interest! There are a few ways you can change the sound on the Numa X Piano GT. For a live performance, the quickest way would probably be to set up a list of Favorites. You can have up to 24 sounds on the list, in any order you choose, and you’d be able to switch between them quickly by using the main encoder. Hope this helps a bit, and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions!

12V????
What s the difference between tp 40 action in sl grand and the tp 400 in this one ?
Hi, thanks for your interest! The SL88 Grand actually uses the TP/40WOOD keybed - so the biggest difference is wooden keys on the SL88 vs. plastic on the Numa X. They're both great-feeling, weighted Fatar keybeds. Keep in mind that the SL88 is only a MIDI controller and does not have sounds on board like the Numa X. Hope this helps a bit, and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions!

How do you save a user preset? I can't seem to find it on the user manual
Hi, Eli! Thanks for your interest. After scrolling through the Program pages to change parameters on a given Program, the last page should give you the option to rename and save the Program. Alternatively, it might be easier to use the Numa Manager software to organize and edit your Programs.
Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions!

does it have triple sensor?
Hi, Antoine - good question. This piano uses the Fatar TP/400 keybed which is triple sensor.
Thanks!

Can you Layer 2 pianos or eps??
Yes, you can
plase a post pdf transcription of the piano piece
All the grand pianos sound like the same samples, just EQ’d differently…
TP400 action is not precisely "new" unless they redesigned the original one, someone prove me wrong
It's not "new", although this is the first TP-400WOOD ES (escapement) that's shown up in a stage instrument anywhere near this price-point, AFAIK. I think the Studiologic SL88 Grand also has the TP-40 or -400 WOOD, but not with the escapement option. The high-end Dexibells (e.g H10) do, but that's geared toward the home market and costs well over $6k USD if you can find them. That said, most manufacturers customise Fatar keybeds to one degree or another when they put them in their instruments. And, of course, Studiologic and Fatar are tied at the hip!
@@mrdavies7894 Doesn't escapement just make the keyboard play slower?
@@blueeyedsoulman, I’m not sure what you mean. In a real piano action, escapement actually allows you to play much faster by moving (escaping) the hammer mechanism off of the key action, allowing one to “re-trigger” the key much sooner than if the hammer first had to return back to the base position, or if the key and hammer were tightly coupled. It doesn’t serve much use in a digital keyboard (with possible exception of very high end Kawai action, though I don’t know how the Fatar action works, here), but what it does do is give a more piano-like experience for the player. For someone more used to synthesisers, organs, or for whom the piano is not a primary instrument, this isn’t a terribly useful option. But for folks looking for the most piano like feel to go with the best piano sound they can get, escapement is really essential.
Nem nagy eresztés és kurva drága ez a pélyanó
not bad at all...but can't possibly beat one vintage yamaha keyboard that costs between £60-£160 on ebay...and i am not going to say which keyboard that is ...for understandable reasons...and no choir on any keyboard beats the good old roland fp5 choir....that is the epic one!
Could you compare GT with Dexibell vivo S10? With one has the better key action?
