Product overview
The Numa Compact 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 (flash memory) sounds are further enhanced by 2 effects post-processors (Fx1-Fx2) each one with a double internal architecture, for a total of 4 independent effects 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 amplifier and elliptical back-reflection speakers. The MIDI Module includes 2 independent MIDI zones and all parameters can be programmed and stored.

Your new Numa Compact
An overview of the functions of the Numa Compact:
Light weighted action The Numa Compact 2 offers 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 offers a great keyboard touch, for which Fatar is famous.
8 Sound Banks You can immediately start playing the included 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. Therefore Numa Compact is your perfect partner on stage, in the studio or at home. 128 voices of max polyphony are 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.
FX1 - FX2REV The 2 double FX processors allow to assign 2 different effects Strings Resonance to both Lower and Upper sections, in addition to a Strings Resonance effect on all piano sounds and a Stereo Reverb, for
an endless variety of combinations of all kind.
Mixer & Mastering A Volume, Bass, Treble and Mastering controls allow to get Built-in Amplification the preferred sound setting and the internal monitor-ampli- fication system with elliptical speakers allow you to play the instrument using the internal 10+10W amplification 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 modified according to the selected sound.
Master keyboard functions 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.
Audio connections As well as the stereo L/R audio output and built in amplification 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 integrated USB port allows your Numa Compact 2 to connect to your computer and be powered directly, without the need of the external adapter (included). You can use a USB and MIDI out for MIDI data transmission. In addition, updates of the firmware or the sound library are accessible via USB. Please note that the internal amplification system is automatically switched off when the instrument is powered by USB, to avoid excessive power consumption or power drops.

Power connection |
Use the power adapter supplied with the device to connect |
|
the Numa Compact to the power socket (or use the USB con- |
|
nection). Switch the unit on by using the power button next |
|
to the power plug of the Numa Compact, set the main Vo- |
|
lume, Bass and Treble controls to the half position and the |
|
Mastering control to zero-minimum (the function will be ex- |
|
plained later on this manual) to avoid excessive output power |
|
and allow the internal speakers to play with a correct dyna- |
|
mic range. |
USB power |
The instrument can also be powered by USB, using a shielded |
|
quality certified 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, the internal amplifica- |
|
tion system is disconnected. |
|
PLEASE NOTE: in case of weak or unstable connection, use |
|
the traditional power (see previous paragraph). |
Expression / Universal pedals |
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-expres- |
|
sion 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. |
Audio output |
If you want to use external amplification systems, or record |
|
the instruments sounds, connect the Left and Right audio |
|
outputs to the inputs of your mixing desk or amplifier, or to |
|
your computer audio board inputs, using suitable cables. |

Power - Inputs and connections
Headphones 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 amplification system, while the L/R outputs are still available for recording or other audio connections.
Volume When you use the Numa Compact for the first 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 effect 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 at high volume for long periods.
USB For data transmission via USB, connect the Numa Compact to your computer with a USB cable. The first time you switch the Numa Compact on, it will be recognised by your computer automatically and the appropriate driver will be installed by the OS (cross compliant).

When the focus is on the Program area, rotating the Encoder you will select the various Programs. When the focus is on the Lower/Upper areas, rotating the Encoder you will control the related volumes.
Sound / MIDI The two buttons marked SOUND and MIDI will toggle between the two related views and controls.
When the SOUND button is selected and lighted, the user can control the SOUND sections and selections, all related display, settings, edit pages and parameter settings.
When the MIDI button is selected and lighted, the display will show the status of the MIDI Zones A and B and the user can access to all available parameters, edit functions and values.

Demo 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.
SPLIT 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.
STORE / User Programs The Numa Compact 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.
