One of the best demo’s ever! This chap can play absolutely anything! What I’d give for some lessons with him! Still no demonstration of its capabilities as a controller though..... that was the first thing that to drew me to it. It was in a list of top controllers and it turns out it’s one of the best synths I have ever heard PLUS it has speakers 😱🙏😍
Only had this for 24 hours so far, still getting used to it. Nice job on the demo Chris, much appreciated. As tempting as it is to complain about the keyboard or the Leslie sim, I need to consider the price. I'd love for someone to sell me a Porsche (that folds into a briefcase of course) for what I paid for my Altima, but that is probably not going to happen. For what this costs and what it weighs, it is exactly what I need. I have 2 other 88 key, weighted controllers, both weigh near 90 pounds. Also have an 88 Rhodes, let's not even talk about the weight. With a bit of time, it's easily possible to get used to the keyboard. If you play enough keyboards and synths, you can get used to anything. My usual test is to try some classical (Beethoven's Pathetique is good) and some jazz (usually "In The Mood"). If I can play those, I know I can get used to it. I'm hoping Studiologic considers some updates 'though. The Rhodes could be a bit smoother in the transitions between velocity layers (it's not bad, I'm just talking wishlist) and the distortion/drive is something I cannot figure out the usefulness of yet. Adding some drive to the organ sounds would've been great but the drive on this is really odd. I bought this to bring to jams, and might use it live at my church gigs. Now to go read through the manual.
Nice Demo Chris! And thank you to Studiologic for adding a pitch bender - something lacking in many Stage Pianos. Great sounds for a great price - A cool grab it and go to gig axe!
It’s actuslly $699 but it’s a steal even for that price. Sounds almost as good as a Nord with just as many features and a great synth engine from the Sledge.
Tremendous video, thank you, I really like the Numa Compact 2X as a stage keyboard. I would just like to know if the Numa Compact 2X can control DAW like Ableton Live? Thanks in advance
SNC2 vs SNC2X : Does the 2x upgrade really add a lot in terms of sound creation? Both offer piano, epiano, organ, synth. Does the 2x synth have an arpeggiator? Variable portamento? Is the keybed the same on both? Does the 2x lose any memory devoted to piano, epiano, organ? Also, I've had no trouble adjusting to semi-weighted, in fact I prefer it for stage use and have had two Kurz SP88s and M-audio Prokeys 88sx. Thank you for a superb demo!
Love the addition of the (class compliant, no special device drivers needed!) audio interface in this board. Ditching an analog aux cord means one less bit of cabling to use my iPad. The only other devices i have seen that do this are the Yamaha PSRs (but NOT the Refaces, alas) Will this play patches / program changes on midi in channels 3-16?
I did like it weight, fatars keys, minimalism, design, and I'd like it has 73 keys, better piano sound. Is there really so noisy keys as pictured in the video? I like that producer gives me what I desire - just good keys, some basic sounds, minimalism and light weight! Respect for nothing extra. But for this price... I hesitate between ds88 and this one or maybe sl73 or some suggestions?
2gb with 1gb internal samples and 1 gb for user samples. This hasn’t been promoted yet publicly however this is what will be available in the instrument.
Here's what Studiologic shows on their specs page: "Factory & User sounds updatable thru Hi-Speed USB device*1". The footnote description says: "1. With a dedicated application available within Fall 2018'. It sounds like an editor may be forthcoming.
Wtf? Did you not watch the video at all? He literally explains it within the first 2 minutes. It has 2 GBs storage. 1 for on board sounds and 1 for user samples. Is it really that hard to just watch the video for yourself before looking like a fool in the comments?
Chris M., you've played them all. I've had three semi-weighted pianos, 2 Kurz and 1 M-audio. I've grown accustomed to semi-weighted, even prefer it especially for gigs. Any further comments on the action would be appreciated. Thanks for all your great demo videos.
Good demo. Have you used the editor yet? I'm curious whether the editing/sound shaping as deep as it is on the Sledge (albeit less knobby), or if that's been dumbed down?
Mike Alonzo You will be able to according to the manufacturer. They have to finish the editor first that will allow you to organize your samples and then upload them into the instrument. At the time I shot this video they gave me approval to mention that you will be able to load one gigabyte of use of samples. I stand by this 100%.
@@ChristianMartirano When this will happen?. Hopefully soon!. It's been 8 months since this video, and we still have nothing. Pretty odd. Not firmware update, no sample library, no editor, etc. This instrument have all the potential waiting to be realized.
That's exactly what I intend to use it for. When trying to set up Mainstage I ran into some trouble. For example, the drawbars can't all be used as controllers for drawbars in a B3 software instrument. Assigning control over midi is not possible, at least not as far as I have been able to work out.
wait...what? ...been messing on the 2 in a shop (to buy or not to buy...this or nord, or kross or roland ds...decisions decisions)...but in the 2x you can upload 1 gig of your own samples?...what?
If they only put a premium keybed on this then it would be very high on my list (it would still be lightweight mind you). Unfortunately, such low quality keys are unacceptable for me. Premium keybed>rest. afaic. Next.
Lip syncing is off for me. I can’t watch it. I’ve tried restarting my iPad, clearing all other apps, but nothing works. Have noticed this on a handful of videos out of the thousands I’ve watched. Most are kinda watchable anyway, but things like this, where you’re watching his fingers, are ruined.
Honestly id rather start by buying that magnificent tie. I like the keyboard but... that tie is top notch sir

How's the key bed for the studio logic compact 2x?

ALWAYS LEARNING FROM YOURE VIDEOS. THX ALOT
My favorite piece of vaporware.
Too real
Love everything about the product except the keys. I'd prefer their tp40 or tp100 keybeds.
2 gigs of sample RAM.Under 500 dollars. Hello @Nord. Under 500 dollars.

If this keyboard had 73 or 76 keys, that would be great.

Thanks for a great demo of the functionality. Any word on the app for uploading and editing the user samples? Are you expecting these to deliver soon?

Studiologic’s site says this has 1 gb of sample memory. This video says 2gb. Which is it?
2gb with 1gb internal samples and 1 gb for user samples. This hasn’t been promoted yet publicly however this is what will be available in the instrument.

@@ChristianMartirano I own this board and it only has 1 GB of flash memory, and no way to upload your own sounds
Hi, does exist additional libraries For the 1GB flash samples memory?
Id like to use a lot of memory in only one piano.
Thanks.
Good demo. Have you used the editor yet? I'm curious whether the editing/sound shaping as deep as it is on the Sledge (albeit less knobby), or if that's been dumbed down?
You CAN NOT upload your own sounds to this board. I just bought one. It only has 1 GB of flash memory not 2 GB. Chris is incorrect here.

@@MrPonkine I believe it's done through an software called midi ox
Интересная машина. Очень достойное звучание органа...
Would this keyboard work as a midi keyboard if someone wanted to use main stage?
Yesss I use it on my phone, tablet and computer
That's exactly what I intend to use it for. When trying to set up Mainstage I ran into some trouble. For example, the drawbars can't all be used as controllers for drawbars in a B3 software instrument. Assigning control over midi is not possible, at least not as far as I have been able to work out.
It has some midi controls and it's light. So I think so.
Yes
incredible. Does he accept saving presets? how many presets can be saved? Do you accept a combination of sounds?
Yeah, this is exactly what he said @2:35
Save as many as you like to USB.
i am looking for a new keyboard for recording new songs in my home studio...BMI Nashville USA
Is there a portamento option with the synth engine?
No. There are a lot of info in the later pages of this thread: forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/2909492/1

Well...did you decide?
Hello, doesn't have any built rhythms?
Это Nord Stage для бедных? Я бы его купил, посмотрим, сколько он будет стоить в России

That Leslie ruins it. I hope it is programmable
for the price cant you buy a neo vent and still be better than the alternatives?
If they only put a premium keybed on this then it would be very high on my list (it would still be lightweight mind you). Unfortunately, such low quality keys are unacceptable for me. Premium keybed>rest. afaic. Next.
