Christian Martirano, Studiologic representative, gives us a detailed look at the many features of Studiologic's Numa Compact 2x keyboard.

The Studiologic Numa Compact 2x brings to the extreme the power of the Compact family. Packed in the same compact size cabinet there are now three sound engines. A tone wheel organ model derived from Numa Organ, the Sledge sound synthesis and 1GB of samples memory. The new USB port allows to transmit and receive digital audio. Save more space using the Numa Compact 2x speakers to amplify the sounds of your computer or tablet.

For this price I think it's a very nice keyboard, full of usable features, I could use.

I hope Studiologic announces the 73 key version of Numa compact 2x soon.
I am looking for a “real compact”.

Great demo, very impressive instrument! Does the synth have portamento functionality?

[radagastbrown]

Studiologic’s site says this has only 1gb of sample memory. This video says 2 gb. Which is it?

I sure hope this becomes available soon! It was supposed to start shipping in April. *sigh*

For the price it seemed great, but I sent mine back, even at "open box item" price which could not be beat. It isn't about the money, it's about the keyboard.

Yes the keys feel like a Caddy, but NO PORTAMENTO for the synthesizer for the guy in this thread who asked. Piano/EP sounds are pretty good. Horrible Leslie simulation and not editable in any respect, not for ramp up/down, slow and fast speeds, zilch. Fast sound is like a fast trill. Chorus/Vibrato for organ too heavy on setting 1. Only thing adjustable on organ is key click. Big deal. Combo organ sounds that sound like vox/farfisa are decent but only can change filter cutoff and nothing drawbar-wise/changing tones/no voxxy-type "96 tears" sounds to be had on this keyboard. With the combo organ sounds - called electric organ 1 or 2 or something - you cannot use the same vibrato or chorus panel switches like you can use them for the dedicated Hammond organ sound. Bogus!

How the heck to program aftertouch? Overdrive kinda usable, but there is much better out there. Effects such as phaser, vibrato etc. only change depth of the effect with the knob. NO PROGRAMMABLE SPEED SETTINGS FOR EFFECTS either and it is slow! I would have kept it if it had portamento and more adjustable effects. Who cares about the lousy Leslie simulator - I have that covered with my Neo Ventilator anyway.

A lot of hype for a keyboard that just does not do enough. I would have paid a couple of hundred bucks more and kept it if it had what this keyboard is so horribly lacking. If Studiologic updates this keyboard with what it needs/what it's supposed to have, I'd buy it again. And yeah, I agree with narupol27, 73 keys or even 76 would do, don't really need 88.

I'm a producer & pianist for over 30 years and here's my review: I've never been more disappointed in a product.
This is the worst piece of equipment I've ever bought and I bought an awful lot (and lots of rubbish) over the years.
The sounds are average at best compared to units by Roland or Korg of the same price bracket. The price is too high, the keys are too short. But worst of all the USB connectivity is beyond unstable. Its implementation is amateurish, requiring several drivers instead of one. The drivers aren't signed either and that alone is a good indicator what you're dealing with: Amateur programming. Studiologic's support appears initially helpful, but when confronted with an actual issues simply ignored me. The only thing this has going for it is its weight. Hardly worth the ticket.
