The Studiologic Numa Compact X SE 88-key Stage Piano looks like a long skinny boring everyday piano players keyboard on the outside, but on the inside the synthesizer features four engines to produce music, one being a synthesizer. The synthesizer is polyphonic and sounds great unlike most true to life analog polyphonic synthesizers, this one (Numa Compact X SE) sounds the way a dance music producer would want their synth keys to sound when producing pad sounds for epic trance music.
The accent features of orange knobs with aged to look keys is a nice touch, I’d say. The keyboard reminds me of the similar psychedelic casio keyboards except the Numa Compact X SE is versatile in such way offering raw waveforms and ways to tweak the sound that would appeal to more than the everyday acoustic piano player reaching for a digital piano. Digital pianos will be in tune years later while acoustic pianos will not. I can see why real piano players would like to own a nice electric piano with acoustic simulations like the numa compact X se and others. I enjoy the sound of the electric piano more than the acoustic piano emulations in digital keyboards. I’m not a trained piano player nor is the piano my focus instrument. For those people that do use piano as a main instrument I can see why they wouldn’t want to overlook this new Numa Compact X SE even though they probably will.
As a music producer and musician at heart these 88 key and other large keyboard layout keyboards that are made to entice real world acoustic piano players into the domain of acoustic emulation, electric piano simulants, organ justice, and synthesis sound often go unnoticed, unrecognized, and unworried about because the keyboards themselves do not delve deep enough into the sound of synthesis. The one thing I’ve always appreciated about arrangement keyboards though is their ability to do synthesizer pads incredibly well. This Numa Compact X SE is no exception. The sound of the pads and polyphonic synthesis would easily fit right at home in my studio for the sole purpose of doing one job and one job well, synth pads.
