Studiologic, 88-Key Digital Pianos-Stage, Grand NUMA-X GT

The keybed is excellent. I have tried many including Yamaha, Roland, Casio, and Nord. This keybed really provides me with the feel I want. I do understand that each person's expectations can be different based on what they have now or what they practice on. But I believe this is very close to a real piano feel and action. It is a bit heavy for me, but with the softness and sensitivity settings it is just about perfect. The sounds are good, particularly the electric piano sounds. However, I have paired this with Pianoteq and find the experience delightful. UPDATE: some of the recent piano firmware releases have made the piano's genuinely excellent. As good as Pianoteq in many cases.

This review is for the Numa Piano X88 with the TP110 keyboard. I purchased it from another retailer, but I think your shoppers will find it informative.,PROS:The sound: Very nice selection of pianos, EPs, Synth, orchestral instruments. The AC's and EP's are outstanding , With a good set of speakers, it's Scary realistic. The lows and highs are amazing! So glad I ordered the 88 version. Maybe the best Rhodes sound yet, with some tweaking... and tweaking is so easy... which brings me to...The Operating System: OK, I work in a very technical industry (Lighting Design). I do not appreciate creative machines that are difficult to use. Whoever came up with the editing concept behind the Numa Piano X deserves a raise! I have yet to look at the manual. It's amazingly easy to edit any patch. It just all makes sense.The Keyboard and Action: Yes, there is a lot of chatter about this. But this keyboard looks and feels expensive. I like this weighted action more than the Yammies and Nords I played. The keys are nice and long and it takes very little extra effort to play a chord at the top of the keys than at the bottom, which I know has been a complaint in the past. The keys feel really nice and quiet. Not too slippery, not spongy or bouncy. In fact, there seems to be no bounce at all! Had no problem playing “Josie” on it. And after playing it for 8 hours, my hands are fine (and they are pretty screwed up, believe me!). I tried most of the competitors, and I could never find a keyboard that felt good. Either too light, or too noisy, or too hard, and none of them had the feeling of quality that the TP110 has. I would love to try the TP400!Future Sample Library: This is pretty exciting. The ability to add to these already excellent sounds is pretty cool. Could be a Nord killer.Polyphony: 300 voices... A ridiculous amount.Internal Mixer: If I were to gig with this board, everything would go through it! Maybe in my studio as well.Size and Weight: Will fit in a 76 key slim case (nice)... And 31 lbs for a 88 key hammer action board? Case closed.Factory Presets: Excellent variety of great sounding combinations. Had a blast playing them.The Look. Beautifully organized and aesthetically pleasing. Plus it's not red (just kidding, Nord fans).The Price: $1550... Love the Italians!CONS:No Pitch/Mod Wheels: What's with these stupid sticks?The “Hammond” Sounds: If you can’t do it right, don’t do it at all. Otherwise you are just pissing us off! (That goes for you too, Yamaha!)External Power Supply: Really? Oy vey!
