    I only got thru 10 mins of this content. Can I offer some constructive criticism as to why? I found what you were saying to be interesting, but you repeated every point you made about 5 times. If something is super important, then perhaps one repetition, but endlessly repeating literally everything you say is both redundant and boring. If in doubt, less talking and more playing will probably serve you well as a guideline.

In my region it costs 1300€, do you think it's the best option in this price range? Thank you very much!

      @@jG-jd8wg Yes and yes !!! I am very happy with the mechanical key action. This is the best keyboard on the market for key action. (Kawai might be better) But just to remain that kawai MP11SE or VPC1 are lot heavier and also cost more. This is a very compact design. Even though still weights 50 lbs but is not as heavy as the other 2. I did try the Roland rd2000. It feels very similar on key action but the Roland still heavier action. Also the pivot are longer too. I feel like the Numa keys are very similar in length and weight as the Steinway pianos. Also the midi implementation is very good for playing live. You can assign the 4 knobs in different channels. I also love the idea that is built in audio interface. So you don't have to bring a DAW with you. Just bring a USB cable and plug it in straight to the iPad air and you are good to go. It is a very good piano. Hardware wise. I wasn't too sure about the internal sounds. But seems like Studiologic is listening to its customers. They just launched not that long ago an update for the Rhodes and sound amazing. Also few days ago they launched the sample "Stage D" and sounds amazing. This is the sample I was waiting for studiologic to release. Is not the perfect piano but is perfect for my needs. Also can't beat the price. Very affordable compared to other stage pianos.

    I watched another review on the numa and it was pointed out that the numa didn't have good dynamic range. Instead of using more samples for soft playing they just use a filter instead, so playing softly doesn't use a soft piano sample, just a filter, bit like just reducing the volume and turning the tone down. Plus there is not a smooth transition from soft to loud, it jumps at a certain point. So it would not be my choice for solo piano. The Yamaha has a better Piano tone imo, however for the price they should have included dynamic resonance instead of just damper resonance. However, as a stage keyboard in a mix its probably less important compared to solo playing. So between the two, the Yamaha has more usable piano tones, so would be my choice.

    Very interesting comparison, thank you! The audible differences in acoutic pianos are partially due to the cut "acoustic" effects of the Yamaha CP88, they optimized it for stage, not recording or pleasant sound at home. Both instruments have excellent keyboard actions, but I wish the CP88 and especially the YC88 would have got the GrandTouch-S as built in P-525 or PCL-745. It has lighter weighted hammers, allows outstanding playing acoustic piano sounds and is far more accomplished if playiing an e-piano, synth or organ sound.

    Thanks, for a great review! It's very helpful when someone knowledgeable shares opinions about the good AND maybe bad things about gear. I'm subscribed. I've got the Numa X Piano 73 key version with the TP110 keybed and I mostly like it. To me, it feels a lot better than keyboards I've had with the TP100. I've just sold my Nord Electro 5D73 and kept the Numa. A couple of the reasons for that are 1) that the Nord's SW, synth-weighted action was uncomfortable for me when playing piano parts, and 2) many of Nord's piano samples, while they sound great in certain circumstances, don't sound particularly impressive compared to other keyboards when everything is in MONO. Before I sold my Nord, I compared the two as far as pianos (Numa and Nord), in stereo and in mono. Nord won by a fair amount in stereo, but in mono situations, where many of us, myself included, do gigs, an expensive Nord keyboard didn't sound better. That's just my opinion.

    Buongiorno a tutti. Grazie per il tuo tutorial. Per le mie orecchie e perché ho avuto molti pianoforti di diverse case prestigiose, di cui uno steinway B-211, mi oriento per il nima x gt88.Togliendo il tocco, la pesatura e l'equilibrio dei fulcri sui tasti, é chiaro che un digitale non potrà mai divenire un vero pianoforte acustico. Ció nonostante lo Staff italiano ha superato ogni frontieta come campionamenti, sensori, costruzioni dei tasti fatar tp400 wood, che in verità sono in un materiale leggerissimo, indistruttibile, equilibrato al giusto punto e i tasti lateralmente sono rivestiti in legno come estetica. Da ció che emerge dalla relazione fatta dall'ingegnere della "fatar". In ogni caso ho visto dei filmati in sequenze di costruzione dell'intero piano che portano ad una soluzione di diverse campionature di suoni autentici steinway, con tutti i livelli di tocco, tramite un macchinario pilotato da un pc, fatto in pressione in diverse azioni su tasto, riportati minuziosamente per ogni singolo tasto. In questo modo si sfruttano al meglio i 3 sensori per tasto. Poi lo "scappamento", inoltre é reale la risonanza delle corde e dei pedali sustain etc. Poi il modelling che dichiarano sembra funzionare bene sui piani digitali elettronici vintage. La risultanza finale é la preferenza al numa x gt studiologic sia per qualità, prezzo, tastiera fatar tp 400 in pseudo legno. Saluti. Modesto 🎉

    I watched the review videos carefully. I'm planning to get a new master keyboard, and I'm considering the CP88, Numa Piano X GT, and FP90X. My priorities are as follows: 1. I'm looking for a keyboard with excellent piano touch, as piano playing is my main focus, and touch sensitivity is crucial for me. 2. I also do MIDI. Considering these factors, do you have any recommendations? In fact, I plan to use VSTi piano sounds, so having good built-in sounds is a plus, but it's not a strict requirement. I think CP88 might have a slight advantage in terms of built-in sounds. I've watched various videos about the GT, but the piano tone doesn't quite resonate with me. For someone who primarily uses VSTi, it might seem excessive to purchase the GT solely for its touch sensitivity, but there is a certain desire for an enhanced touch experience, making the decision challenging. Currently, I am using the SL88 Grand, and I am satisfied with its touch to some extent.🙄

      The piano presets are very crucial to me as well. After using both for a while I think I'd pick the CP88. The pianos are way better. The key bed is good is not as good as the numa but the sample is very well implemented on the CP88. The CFX is good but too bright. I'd use it for rock or pop music. My favorite pianos are the C7 (mid to high range) and the S700 (mid to low range). I did split the keyboard in half to use those two. It does sound gorgeous and also you have the EQ on both keyboards. It is easier on the CP88 due the knobs on the console. Also dynamics are very important to me. The CP88 just wins it. I think as a stage piano the CP88 wins it. The studiologic is more like a midi master controller with built in sounds. It is getting better. But the acoustic pianos should be lot better.
