Product information

General

There are few digital pianos that are as compact and complete as the Numa Compact 2. It has 88 semi-weighted keys, 88 sounds, MIDI control capabilities and internal speakers all wrapped in a package that weighs just 7.1 kg! That makes it ideal for taking along to rehearsals, recording sessions and performances when you're not practising at home. A fully-fledged MIDI controller, the Numa Compact 2 is also excellent for working with your computer.

Sounds and built-in speakers

This digital piano's semi-weighted keys lie somewhere between those on a keyboard and an acoustic piano, making it easy to play a range of styles. The 88 sounds include various pianos, keyboards, organs, synths, basses and guitars, among others as well as various effects. Of course. if that's not enough you can simply connect the Numa Compact 2 to virtual instruments on your computer for unlimited possibilities. The built-in speakers produce a top-quality sound but you also have the option to connect headphones or a PA system depending on your needs.

Studiologic Numa Compact 2 Digital Piano

Op het eerste gezicht een prima apparaat; fijne toetsen, steviger dan je voor deze prijs mag verwachten, aardig geluid, erg handige manier om andere MIDI-apparaten aan te sturen(!), bijzonder goeie selectie geluiden.

Maar er zijn drie dingen grondig mis....

1. Sommige instrumenten klinken soms vervormd, een viezige clipping distortion, ook als je zachtjes speelt; alsof sommige samples niet helemaal goed zijn.
2. De akkoestische piano's klinken vals, vooral als je zacht speelt. Dat komt deels door de aftertouch die standaard aan staat en gewoon niet zinnig is met akkoestische piano's. Die kun je gelukkig uitzetten, maar met name zachte tonen blijven vals klinken, ook bij de aanvullende piano's die je kunt downloaden.
3. Bij sommige instrumenten klinken niet alle tonen even luid.

Dit zijn duidelijk problemen in de firmware en/of in de samples zelf, maar toch speelt dit al jaren, zo blijkt uit andere reviews (zie bv. Sweetwater). Ook in sommige review-filmpjes op Youtube hoor je deze problemen. Daarin zal het je niet meteen opvallen (mij ook niet...), maar als je zelf speelt je zelf, dan is het ontzettend storend. Blijkbaar nemen ze het niet zo nauw met de kwaliteit bij Studiologic...

Ik heb er op zich lol mee, vooral ook als master-keyboard (vanwege de slimme manier om met externe MIDI-devices om te gaan), maar ik zou hem absoluut niet nog een keer kopen. Dit ding doet het belangrijkste wat ie moet doen - een piano nadoen - gewoon belachelijk slecht. Bespaar je de moeite en neem een van de goedkopere Yamaha's/Rolands/Korgs. Die hebben misschien wat minder opties, maar je oren zullen je dankbaar zijn.
