Product overview
The Numa Compact 2 is an incredibly powerful musical instrument, packed in a stylish and slim
cabinet, based on a totally new technology and updated user interface. The keyboard includes an
Aftertouch control and together with the programmable Sticks, allows to have a total control of
the musical performance. The new sound engine is capable of 128 notes of max polyphony and
it includes two independent sections (Lower & Upper) with over 80 sounds, organized in 8 Sound
Banks, assignable to any portion of the keyboard, in Layer or Split mode. The 1GB (ash memory)
sounds are further enhanced by 2 eects post-processors (Fx1-Fx2) each one with a double internal architecture, for a total of 4 independent eects at once.
A controllable Strings Resonance and the Release-Staccato Samples make the main piano sounds
even more real, while a new Stereo Reverb post-processor further enhances the sound. Bass, Treble and Mastering controls allow to reach a studio quality, also noticeable thru the built in digital
amplier and elliptical back-reection speakers. The MIDI Module includes 2 independent MIDI
zones and all parameters can be programmed and stored.

The Numa Compact 2 oers the latest innovative technology by Fatar: the sophisticated weighted keyboard TP9-Piano
with Aftertouch. The Numa Compact weighs just 7,1 kg and is
therefore very portable, yet it oers a great keyboard touch,
for which Fatar is famous.
You can immediately start playing the 88 selected high quality sounds, which have been carefully sampled. Experienced
keyboard players and musicians selected those sounds and
were involved in the design of the straightforward operation
of Numa Compact 2. Therefore Numa Compact 2 is your perfect partner on stage, in the studio or at home. 128 voices of
max polyphony is available to add depth and expression.
You can combine two sounds by assigning them to the Lower
and Upper sections in Split or Layer mode.
The 2 double FX processors allow to assign 2 dierent eects
to both Lower and Upper sections, in addition to a Strings
Resonance eect on all piano sounds and a Stereo Reverb, for
an endless variety of combinations of all kind.
Mixer & Mastering
Built-in Amplication
Master keyboard functions
Audio connections
A Volume, Bass, Treble and Mastering controls allow to get
the preferred sound setting and the internal monitor-amplication system with elliptical speakers allow you to play the
instrument using the internal 10+10W amplication system,
digitally controlled and equalized. For the best result a suggested setting is with all pots at halfway, to avoid any possible
distorsion and ensure a correct frequncy responce. Settings
can be modied according to the selected sound.
The master keyboard functions of the Numa Compact 2, with
2 programmable Zones, allow you to control other MIDI devices, select the sounds and adjust the levels directly from
your Numa Compact 2.
As well as the stereo L/R audio output and built in amplication system, the Numa Compact 2 has an additional headphone plug, ideal for late-night jam sessions without disturbing the neighbours. This connection can also be used as an
auxiliary audio output.

The instrument can also be powered by USB, using a shielded
quality certied cable and providing that the computer
has enough power and not too many devices are powered
through the same USB port.
When the instrument is USB powered, in most cases the internal amplication system is disconnected if the power consumption exceeds the computer‘s range.
PLEASE NOTE: in case of weak or unstable connection, use
the traditional power (see previous paragraph).
Connect the (optional) pedal or pedals to the related sockets,
labelled Ped1 and Ped2; at the socket labelled Ped 1 you can
plug in the Studiologic VP pedal, typically for volume-expression controls. To the Ped2 socket you can plug either a single
swicth pedal, a volume-expression pedal or the custom triple
pedal SLP3-D, as explained in the related chapter.
If you want to use external amplication systems, or record
the instruments sounds, connect the Left and Right audio
outputs to the inputs of your mixing desk or amplier, or to
your computer audio board inputs, using suitable cables.

The Headphones output can be used with an headphones set
or as an extra audio auxiliary output, according to the setting
of the related GLOBAL edit function (explained in this manual). As an auxiliary audio out, you can use this plug to connect
the instrument to a subwoofer or an additional amplication
system, while the L/R outputs are still available for recording
or other audio connections.
When you use the Numa Compact 2 for the rst time, we recommend you to turn the Volume knob on the Output section to not more than half way between 0 and Full. While you
are playing you can adjust the volume according to the selected sounds. Adjusting the Volume knob will eect all audio and headphone outputs at the same time.
CAUTION:
To prevent hearing damage, you should – as with all audio
devices – avoid using the Numa Compact 2 at high volume
for long periods.

The SOUND button can also be pressed for a longer time, to
enable the eight DEMO songs (one for each sound BANK) to
start playing in sequence; clicking on a SOUND BANK you can
also select the related demo; at the end of it, the next demo
song will start for the other BANKS, in a continuous cycling
loop.
This button is a real time control of the SPLIT function, that is
edited and controlled in all details by the GLOBAL EDIT function (Split Point) and PART EDIT function (Split Assign). This
is a fast way to immediately enable and disable the SPLIT and
play the UPPER and LOWER parts all over the keyboard, in layer
mode without split.
As explained in the EDIT sections, the SPLIT button can also
be used as a short cut to select the MIXER page, by keeping it
pressed for a few seconds.
The Numa Compact 2 has 99 user’s programmable memories called Programs, where you can store all SOUND, FX1/2
controls, amounts, functions, split points and all editable parameters also related to the MIDI ZONES, with a programmable NAME for each Program. The only non-storable functions
are the VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE and MASTERING, since they are
pure real-time controls, not related to a particular Program.
All Programs can be sent and received via USB, as explained
in the related paragraph of this manual, in the GLOBAL EDIT
section.

The 2 double eects processors allow to assign 2 separate effects to the Lower and Upper sections, for a total of 4 dierent
eects at once. As an example, the FX1 can be set to Drive for
the Upper section and, at the same time, to Chorus for the Lower section. Using the Upper/Lower button, you can toggle
between the related parts and show or select the eect for
that part. In addition, you will see or change the associated
FX using the 2 main LOWER and UPPER buttons below the
display.
You can visualize the Sound and FX structure and signal ow
as it follows:
Upper > FX1 (one of the four) > FX2 (one of the four) > Reverb
(programmable send in Edit)
Lower > FX1 (one of the four) > FX2 (one of the four) > Reverb
(programmable send in Edit)
Amount: the 2 potentiometers control the Amount of the
selected eect, like the dry/wet ratio (for modulating eects
like the Chorus) or other parameters, like the distortion level
of the DRIVE eects.
Numa Compact 2 by Studiologic®

Eects
The FX Autoset function (a real-time function also explained
in the GLOBAL Edit section) automatically memorizes the last
selected FX 1-2 for each Sound, without the need of storing a
dedicated Program.
This real-time function will also control the association between the Stick2 and the Sound or FX controls (modulation or
eect speed etc) in a logic and automatic way. When a particular FX is selected on a section, the Stick 2 will control a
particular parameter, like the Slow/Fast speed of the Rotary
or the Speed and Feedback of the Phaser.
The control will also be automatically set according to the
focus position: if you have a Lower part without FX and the
focus on Lower, the Stick 2 will control the Modulation; if the
focus is on Upper and you have an Organ sound with Rotary,
the Stick 2 will control the Rotary Slow/Fast speed.
If the FX Autoset function is set to o (see the GLOBAL Edit
section) the function of the Stick 2 will be under Part EDIT,
with not automatic assignments, and you can store all settings in each Program.
FX Autoset
With the FX Autoset o, the automatic association between
each sound and the last selected FX will be disabled and the
FX selection will be only manual or controlled by the FX setting stored in each of the 99 Program.
In addition to the powerful FX1-2 double eect processors,
the Numa Compact 2 also has a built in STRINGS RESONANCE
post-processing eect, dedicated to the ACOUSTIC PIANOS
sound bank and controlled by the related parameter of the
GLOBAL EDIT. This eect, created using the experience of the
Numa STAGE and CONCERT renowned Studiologic instruments, adds an even more realistic eect to the piano sounds,
reproducing the resonances of the real strings and sound
boards of the acoustic instrument.
STRINGS RESONANCE

To enable the GLOBAL edit, keep pressed the EDIT button for a few seconds; you will nd various
pages (shown on the top right area of the display) with functions that will aect the instrument,
regardless what Program is selected. To escape from the function, press again the EDIT button and
all settings will be memorized automatically.
When the focus (cursor) is on the top area of the display, rotating the encoder you can select the
various pages; clicking on the cursor, the focus will be moved on the parameter and rotating the
encoder you can change the related value.
The GLOBAL EDIT main functions are:
TRANSPOSER
GLOBAL TUNER
VELOCITY CURVE
FIXED CURVE
STRINGS RESONANCE
DAMPER EFFECT
You can transpose the instrument to any other key; click on
the encoder to move the cursor on the value and rotate it to
input the desired transposition range.
This function allows to “tune” the instrument, in case you
have to play along with another instrument that is not tuned
to the standard (A=440 Hz).
You can select a dierent velocity curve, according to your taste and playing technique. There are 3 factory curves (SOFT/
NORMAL/HARD) and a programmable FIXED velocity setting,
with the related value.
You can set here the xed velocity value (from 1 to 127) when
the FIXED velocity is selected.
Here you can control the amount of the STRINGS RESONANCE
post-processing, that adds a more realistic eect to all acoustic
PIANO sounds. Please note that the CONCERT GRAND sound
also has a separate “release and resonance” built in natural effect, not controlled by this parameter.
HEADPHONES MODE
Numa Compact 2 by Studiologic®
18
When the parameter is set to AUTO ON, plugging the headphones will automatically switch o the internal amplication system.
If the parameter is set to AUTO OFF, the internal amplication
system will be active also when a jack is inserted in the Headphones plug; this will allow to use the headphones out as an
extra auxiliary output, for recording or to connect it to an active-amplied subwoofer, in addition to the internal speakers.
While the PED1 is always suitable for expression-volume pedals, the PED2 can be programmed to connect almost all possible pedals, as it follows:
• SINGLE SWITCH normally open;
• SINGLE SWITCH normally closed;
• EXPRESSION (volume function, pedals with potentiometer
and stereo plug);
• SLP3-D – Triple pedal with Soft/Sostenuto/Sustain function
with half-damper control.
When the function is set to AUTO ON, the following automatic
functions are enabled:
The last selected eects (FX1-2) for each sound are memorized
by the instrument, allowing to select a sound and the related
preferred eect, with no need of storing the combination in a
Program. The FX Autoset not only will memorize and recall the
eects associated by the user for each sound, but also the value of the parameters controlled by the Stick 2 for each eect.
Global edit
PEDAL 2
FX AUTOSET
The STICK 2 control will be automatically assigned to a function, according to the setting and the position of the FOCUS
/ cursor.
If the focus is on UPPER (as an example) and you have selected
an Organ sound with the ROTARY eect, the STICK2 will control
the Rotary SLOW/FAST speed.
If you move the focus on LOWER (by clicking on the encoder
or pressing the LOWER button) and you have another FX on
Lower, the STICK2 will control the LOWER eect.
If you don’t have any FX on a section (LOWER or UPPER) and
you move the focus on it, the STICK 2 will control the MODULATION on the selected section.
As a typical example, imagine to have an ORGAN on UPPER
with Rotary and a BASS on LOWER with no eects: moving the
cursor on UPPER, the Stick 2 will control the Rotary Speed; moving the focus on LOWER; the STICK2 will control the Modulation.
E
Note: this automatic function is an arbitrary selection done by
the instrument, based on a statistic playing situation; if you
want to control all parameters directly and manually, you can
set the function to OFF and select the function of the STICK 2
in the related PART EDIT; storing the desired setting in a PROGRAM.

Please note that, as per international standard, the instrument keyboard is named from A0 (rst key on the left) to C8
(last key on the right) and consequently the middle C below
the display is C4. The reference pitch of A=440 Hz is on A4,
the A of the same octave of C4 (below the sound banks) for all
sounds that are based on the standard 8’ of the piano range.
Only some ORGAN sounds will play one octave below, if based on a 16’ pitch drawbar of the vintage tone wheel organs
or the related Pipe Organs 16’ classic organ stops; in these
cases the foundamental of the selected sound on A4 will be
220 Hz (one octave below 440 Hz).

The PART EDIT includes the following parameters:
Rotating the encoder, after having moved the focus on the
parameter by clicking on it, you can control the selected part
Volume, in a range from 0 to 127.
Once you have selected the SPLIT point for the current PROGRAM (ref: PROGRAM EDIT) you can decide where the selected
LOWER or UPPER section (either for the SOUND and MIDI zones) should play, in a totally independent way as it follows:
TO LEFT: the part will play to the left section of the keyboard
(from A0 to the SPLIT note);
TO RIGHT: the part will play to the right section of the keyboard
(from the SPLIT note to C8);
TO ALL: the part will play with no split all over the keyboard.

This function will allow many musical combinations, such as
the few following examples and their opposite settings:
PIANO on the right + BASS on the left, of the split point;
PIANO and STRINGS on the right + MIDI ZONES on the left
(controlling external devices);
ORGAN on the entire keyboard (TO ALL) and CHOIR on the
right part only.
Even with one SPLIT point (programmable for each PROGRAM)
the possible settings are almost one hundred, considering the
status and combinations of LOWER+UPPER+ZONEA+ZONEB
and the SPLIT settings made possible by this function.

This function allows to transpose a part; dierently from the
GLOBAL TRANSPOSER, that will eects the entire instrument,
this function can be set independently for each SOUND section or MIDI zone and stored in each PROGRAM, with dierent
values. Interesting combinations are obtained by transposing
a sound with musical intervals, like a lower quint = minus 5
semitones, to get what is commonly known as a “cluster” with
xed intervals. Try to select a TRUMPET on UPPER and a SAX on
LOWER, setting the SAX 5 semitones lower, in a typical JAZZ
setting.
You can set the octave (intervals of 12 semitones each) separately for each part; normally you will need to move a LOWER
part one or two octave up, if you want to play chords in a better range. On the other way, sometimes you can get a better
sound, when the SPLIT is activated, if you move the UPPER part
one or two octaves down, as you could prefer if you select a TENOR sax in combination with a splitted BASS sound on the left,
since the Sax lower and nicer notes could probably be on the
left of the splitted keyboard portion. Simply experiment the
setting you prefer and then store it in the current PROGRAM.

The function allows to control the amount of signal to be sent
to the REVERB processor, independently for the LOWER and
UPPER parts and programmable with dierent settings for
each PROGRAM. As a typical setting, if you SPLIT the keyboard
and assign a BASS sound to the left, you might want to reduce
or minimize the amount of REVERB on the left part, or control
the setting also on the UPPER part to get the desired eect. The
MIX potentiometer, on the front panel, will change the overall
reverberation mix (Dry/Wet) with any reverb type selected or
send value.
Here you can decide if the pedals are enabled or not for each
section (UPPER/LOWER or ZONEA and ZONE B if the MIDI button is activated).
As for the pedals, also the Sticks can be enabled separately for
the Parts and Zones; please note that the Stick 2 will be set
automatically to AUTO if the related FX-AUTOSET function is
set to ON in the GLOBAL EDIT area. To control the Stick 2 assignment manually, you can set to OFF the FX-AUTOSET and
the function can be switched ON or OFF and stored in the Programs.

This parameter enables or disables the aftertouch function on the selected Part or Zone; the function of the
Aftertouch will be in most cases similar-same of the Stick
2 modulation control, adding some kind of vibrato or similar modulation to the sound, according to the setting.
Normally you will set the Aftertouch ON for the UPPER
part, that is commonly used for the main musical part or
solo performances, while the LOWER part is normally associated to accompaniments or bass lines, if the SPLIT is
active.

The Numa Compact 2 allows to control 2 separate MIDI Zones, with all related parameters; the
result can be stored in the current PROGRAM, together with the settings of the internal LOWER
and UPPER sections, with a common SPLIT point and separate settings. Step through the functions
with the MIDI button selected and EDIT button activated: the value of the actual function will be
shown on the display and can be adjusted rotating the Encoder. Rotating the Encoder when the
MIDI button is lighted, will allow you to directly change the selected MIDI Zone volume.
Program edit
The PROGRAM EDIT, explained in the related chapter, is common for SOUND and MIDI; it refers
to general parameters associated to both the SOUND and MIDI sections. With the following ZONE
EDIT chapters you can set the specic MIDI Zone parameters according to your choices and STORE
them in the same Program, under the same name and number, with all the other parameters set
for the internal SOUNDS.
Zone edit
If the focus is on one of the zones and you are in MIDI mode (with the MIDI button selected and
lighted) you will enter in the ZONE edit mode; when you have selected ZONE edit you can always
press the ZONE A or ZONE B buttons to select the zone to be edited, or click on the encoder to
move the cursor/focus as for all other instrument’s functions.
