StudioLogic Numa Compact SE

Numa Compact 2 SE is the result of a careful restyling and technological update of Numa Compact 2, the compact Stage Keyboard by Studiologic, which now includes a new and powerful sound engine acquired from the Numa X Piano series, with greater polyphonic articulation, over 140 completely reprogrammed sounds, an expanded set of control parameters, 4 sound sections and up to 6 simultaneous effects. Numa Compact 2 SE also features an efficient speaker system and advanced connections including a USB MIDI and Audio port.

It is the sound engine derived from Numa X Piano that produces acoustic piano sounds, using Stereo multi-samples with TrS (True Sound) technology. New acoustic piano samples have been introduced in Numa Compact, and important acoustic phenomena typical of the piano have been refined, such as soundboard resonance, resonance of strings without dampers, the noise of key and pedal release, details that contribute to greater effectiveness of the simulation.

This section of Numa Compact SE that generates electric piano sounds employs an ingenious combination of samples and DSP effects to simulate the physical modeling technology of Numa X Piano. In this way, the most typical sounds of the two main categories of this class of instruments have been recreated: "Tine" with tuned bars and "Reed" with reeds, with independent control of Tines and Damper noise as well. An extensive timbral library is available that includes many variants of the most well-known and useful electric pianos, including modern FM digital pianos.

This section features a real electromagnetic organ model (Tonewheel), with an independent sound engine and a wide variety of timbres including the most representative organ models of this popular instrumental category. Beyond the generation system, the Vibrato/Chorus and rotating amplifier Rotary Speaker have been completely redesigned, along with percussion controls, resulting in striking impact.

This sound engine enables Numa compact SE to deliver real synthesizer performance thanks to virtual oscillators capable of generating a wide variety of waveforms, with a new set of parameters including Portamento, Staccato/Legato modes, polyphonic or monophonic articulation useful for creating effective original synth timbres or simulating the most classic Vintage sounds of these instruments.

Versatility of use

The original Numa Compact SE configuration can meet most artistic needs, starting with compact dimensions and contained weight ideal for all musicians who work on the move; the advanced sound generation system that produces high-quality sounds and effects, widely customizable, to the integrated speakers that allow independent use of the keyboard for daily practice, lessons, rehearsals, with the possibility of course to connect to an external PA system for concerts, performances or live events.

Control

The 88-key "piano style" semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch, allows accurate expressive control of internal sounds, or external sounds thanks also to Master MIDI control via DIN ports or the USB/Audio interface that allows Numa Compact SE to be used effectively as a Master Keyboard also in recording studio, connecting to DAW environments. The real-time control possibilities of this instrument are completed by the Pitch Stick and Modulation on the panel, while a bright OLED display shows all sound selection or editing operations.
