I think outside of the pianos the remainder of the sound controls are based on synth sounds and are applied as such. Unlike the pianos where you can adjust stuff like hammer or pedal noise or tines the Hammond has adjustments like filter or resonance. You can’t really manipulate the sound of the Hammond a whole lot.

It’s certainly a nicer organ than the ones on the cp73. If you scroll through their layered presets then it’s assigned for the most part and feels meatier. Once it’s assigned you can save it and it sounds quite nice.

I was just using the preset organs which didn’t have this effect assigned and the mod wheel just gave a weird wobble rather than a Leslie effect. The Leslie is assigned via an external effect. Speaking of which the Hammond sounds are actually quite nice. Using it to manipulate drawbars on something like the B3x might be a challenge as you wouldn’t have 9 faders or knobs adjacent to each other. I just assigned stuff like volume and occasionally filters to some of the knobs and it’s served my purposes. I like this simplicity but if you need extra faders you may find it limiting. As a result it cuts down on having multiple other knobs on the front panel. Most of the knobs serve multiple purposes (click up, down, left, right, endless scroll, push down to confirm).

I tried it with the iPad and with some plugins on the Mac mini. Better than the modx keybed but still not as good as the cp73 which I’ve been back and forth to the store to try.Īs a controller it’s very capable. The knobs on the Numa had muted the regions on the Modx which is why I wasn’t hearing anything. So I got it hooked up to the MODX8 to try out the sounds on the Numa keybed. Also I’ll probably compare it frequently to Yamaha CP73 as for me it’s the nearest competitor in terms of size and features. Il go through some of the other areas I haven’t addressed so far and if any of you have questions just holler and I’ll do my best to answer them. So I’ve had some more time with the Numa X 73 this week. I"ve reduced the hammer and tines but I"m not at the stage where I"m happy with them yet.

Rhodes are still very clacky for my liking. I haven"t found a piano that I"m really really happy with yet. Im not sure how I"m feeling about it as a stand alone machine as yet. But as a standard controller for playing from another device it fits really well and does most sound justice. I haven"t delved into using it"s knobs for sending midi messages yet but will try in the next week or so. However so far I think the action is nice, brilliantly intuitive layout, very compact size and weight and it works really well as a controller. It"s only over a day since I"ve had it and I haven"t explored it anywhere near enough yet. So I"m going to try and spend more time playing just the Numa X on its own this week and into a mixing desk and speaker as well as I"ve been using phones to date. Maybe I just missed a setting in the MODX8. I tried multiple midi cables as well but to no avail. Couldn"t play the Modx from the Numa no matter how many times I tried. I went home and tried to midi the MODX8 up to the Numa but couldn"t get it working.

Other manufacturers should take a leaf out of studiologics book on this. The Numa really is a brilliantly simple but effective interface. Man I was using standard Rhodes and trying to get a phaser going and then a little tremoloâ¦.took me a while but I got it but I would have done it in much less time on the Numa. However one thing I took away from my visit was compared to the Numa X the cp73 is very cluttered in terms of its interface. This could well be a mixture of sound and keybed rather than just keybed. I just felt my playing was cleaner and more accurate. I think I preferred the cp73 keybed over the Numa X. went to the local music store this morning and tried out the CP73 again for the keybed. So I"ve been in the market for a 73 key for while but am torn between this and the Yamaha cp73. Lots of character and plenty of scope for gentle Rhodes playing or digging in and getting a bark out of the sound. Works well with all of my other plugins as well. Acoustic pianos play as well as any controller I"ve used. Hooked it up to my studio Mac and played it for an hour.
