NUMA Concert by Studiologic® 5

Your new NUMA Concert

Thank you very much for choosing the NUMA Concert. You have obtained a state-of-the-art keyboard made by the renowned manufacturer Studiologic. The NUMA Concert is easy to operate, and oers a perfect keyboard touch. We recommend that you read the entire manual carefully to take full advantage of all the functions of your new NUMA Concert.

An overview of the functions of the NUMA Concert:

Hammer action keyboard

Internal Sounds

Masterkeyboard functions

The NUMA Concert oers the latest innovative technology by Fatar: The sophisticated graded hammer action keyboard TP/40Wood with Ivory Touch. The NUMA Concert weights 20 kg and is therefore portable, yet it oers the realistic grand piano touch for which Fatar is famous. You will love the touch and sound of your NUMA Concert.

You can immediately start playing the 12 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 Concert. Therefore NUMA Concert is your perfect partner on stage, in the studio or at home - regardless which kind of music you are performing. 128 voice polyphony is available to add depth and expression to your Music. It is possible to combine two sounds by layering or splitting the keyboard, and add the built-in modulation and reverb eects.

The masterkeyboard functions of the NUMA Concert allow you to control other MIDI devices, with two separate Midi Zones (A-lower, B-upper) that can be played in single, layer or split mode. Select the sounds of external instruments or modules and adjust the levels directly from your NUMA Concert without the need of routing through other devices.

Function

• in combination with Strings Res

The String Resonance Modelling includes 3 natural eects:

Strings Resonance: this eect has been analyzed and reproduced by the Studiologic Lab‘s team and implemented with many improvements, that allow to have a very warm and natural eect (as compared to many other instruments) with a wider frequency response and a very realistic sound. The effect reproduces the resonance of all strings, when the Damper pedal is pressed, creating a kind of very typical acoustic reverberation of all strings and their harmonics.

Sympathetic Resonance: playing a key on an acoustic piano allows the damper of that particular note to be released, and it also lets the string/s of that key play and resonate. As a consequence, even when only one key is kept pressed, any other key played on the keyboard can resonate, if there are harmonics positioned in the same frequency range. In other words, a very subtle but evident partial string resonance can be heard also when the Damper pedal is not pressed and few keys are played. Numa Concert also reproduces this natural acoustic eect.

Soundboard resonance: acoustic pianos (and in particular the grand pianos) are very reactive structures, that resonate with the played notes (as well as with external sound sources) even without activating the damper pedal (also due to the top octvave strings, normally without any damper). This “soundboard resonance” is so evident that a piano tuner needs to articially stop all other strings (with felt of clothes) when tuning the instrument. The Numa Concert also reproduces this natural eect, that completes the Strings Resonance Modelling.

To access the settings press Function & Strings Res. the display shows the current level, from O to 10, and the amount of all 3 above described Strings Resonance eects can be controlled according to your taste (suggested levels: 3-4)

Note: when a Modulation Eect is selected (e.g. Chorus etc) the Strings Resonance is automatically set to O, in order to avoid any over post-processing of the selected sound.

Velocity The velocity denes the touch sensitivity of the keyboard.

On the NUMA Concert you can choose from 5 dierent velocity curves. Enter the velocity mode by pressing Function &

Velocity. The display indicates the dierent curves as Ft, L, M,

H and Fixed Use Value +/- to select the appropriate velocity.

When you enter in the Fixed velocity area, by pressing the Value + after the H velociy, all MIDI values are displayed and selectable, starting from 001 to the maximum value of 127, using Value +/-. Press Function again to keep the adjustment and quit the velocity mode, or press Value - to go back to the other Velocities.

The curves have the following characteristics:

Curve Dynamic range Application

Ft (Fatar Touch)

L (Low)

M (Mid)

H (High)

F (Fixed)

Adjustments to your touch and equipment.

Please refer to the Global functions pages.

A soft touch of the key results in a relatively loud sound; an easy touch for all

playing styles. A touch sensitivity referred

to a standard Normal curve, both for Piano and all other sounds, with full dynamic

control over the entire range.

The dynamic range is always complete and it is possible to play very soft, while for louder parts more force

(velocity) is needed. Regardless of the force

applied to a key, always the same loudness value is generated both internally

and via Midi.

need of using the powerful preset programming, the instrument has an easy Auto set functions that automatically memorizes the eect (and related parameters) selected for each sound, recalling it simply when selecting the sound.

In other words, the instrument memorizes the eect that you have choosen and edited (with the parameter accessed by the Free Wheel) making the live performance easy and eective.

As an example, if you are playing with the Concert Grand sound you will probably not use any eect, while you will normally associate a Phaser eect with the E.Piano 1 (the typical Rhodes sound). Since the instrument automatically records your selections, when selecting the Grand Piano sound the Phaser (choosed for the E.Piano 1) will be automatically turned o, avoiding the need of any other programming. The same result will be obtained for each sound and the selected eect (for instance: Rotary with the Organs, Chorus with a Pad sound etc) of any combination of your choice.

With the unique Fatar Touch feature you can create your own personal velocity curve and adjust the NUMA Concert to your playing style, with a feature not found in any other intrument. Press Fatar Touch: start playing on the keyboard and NUMA Concert learns your playing range and style. You have approx 1 minute time to play, with any possible dynamic expression, allowing the system to adjust the velocity curve to your playing characteristics. If you like to stop the process earlier, just press Fatar Touch again. The display shows al- ternating Y and N. Now you can check your personal velocity curve by playing the keyboard again. If you are happy with the result and you like to store this curve, press Value– (Y). To cancel the store process and discard the curve, press Value+ (N).

To store your settings and adjustments permanently in a preset, press Function & Store. Use Value +/- to select one of the 50 preset locations P01 to P50 which are shown in the display. Press Function again. Now the display shows alternating Y and N. To conrm storage press Value– (Y). The following parameters will be stored in the preset:

MIDI Module and functions

Record of adjustments

Master Tune

The NUMA Concert sends on MIDI Channel 16 all parameters and adjustments you make. That way you can, for example, record the dynamic change of the Amount of the Rotary eect in a MIDI sequencer.

The NUMA Concert can send its Master Tune via MIDI as a standardized MIDI System Exclusive message. This is independent of the selected MIDI channel. To access this feature, switch the MIDI Module on. Most external MIDI sound modules are able to understand this message; by receiving this message they tune themselves automatically, according to the instrument‘s tuning. Please refer to the manual of the external sound module, to see if it can process this MIDI message and what settings have to be applied.

Note: Please make sure that the connected sound module or the sequencer software is able to receive and process this MIDI System Exclusive tuning message. This function is often deactivated by default. Please refer to the manual of the corresponding device or software, to nd how to activate the MIDI SysEx feature. Please also note, that the MIDI channel of the device (sometimes refered to as the “basic channel”) must be identical to the MIDI channel on which your instrument is sending the MIDI SysEx data.

Ihr neues NUMA Concert

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu Ihrem neuen NUMA Concert! Damit haben Sie sich für ein erstklassiges Keyboard des renommierten Herstellers Studiologic by Fatar entschieden. Bei der Entwicklung des NUMA Concert wurde, neben der hervorragenden Tastatur, ein besonderes Augenmerk auf eine einfache und intuitive Bedienung gelegt. Wir empfehlen, diese Anleitung aufmerksam durchzulesen, damit Sie alle Funktionen des NUMA Concert voll ausschöpfen können.

Hier zunächst eine Übersicht über die Ausstattungsmerkmale Ihres neuen NUMA Concert:

Hammermechanik

Als Tastatur kommt beim NUMA Concert die neueste Entwicklung und Technologie von Fatar zum Einsatz: Die TP/100. Hier konnte das Gewicht einer ausgewachsenen Hammermechanik extrem verringert werden. Mit gerade mal 11,3kg ist das NUMA Concert daher sehr portabel und mobil. Trotz dieser Leichtigkeit werden Sie von dem realistischen Spielgefühl des NUMA Concert begeistert sein.

Internal Sounds

Masterkeyboard Funktion

Audio-Verbindungen

Eine Auswahl von 12 hochwertig und sorgfältig gesampelten Sounds lädt Sie zum Spielen ein. Bei der ergonomischen Bedienung und Klangauswahl haben erfahrene Keyboarder und Musiker mitgearbeitet. Daher ist das NUMA Concert besonders für Live-Auftritte aller gängigen Musikstile bestens geeignet. Die 128stimmige Polyphonie bietet genug Reserven für an- spruchsvolle Virtuosität. Auch Splits oder Layer von zwei Sounds sind möglich. Die beiden integrierten Eekt-Einheiten verfeinern den Klang mit Modulations- und ReverbAlgorithmen.

Mit der Masterkeyboard-Funktion des NUMA Concert steuern Sie externe MIDI-Klangerzeuger an, und können beispielsweise deren Sound-Auswahl oder Lautstärke beeinussen.

Neben einem Stereo-Ausgang stehen zwei weitere Kopfhörer-Ausgänge zur Verfügung - ideal für Musikschulen oder für den nächtlichen 4-händigen Spielspaß. An den separaten Audio-Eingang kann ein externes Gerät, wie z.B. ein mp3-Player oder MIDI-Klangmodul angeschlossen werden. Mischen Sie diese externen Klangquellen direkt mit den Sounds des NUMA Concert.

Liefervumfang

Der integrierte USB Anschluss verbindet das NUMA Concert mit Ihrem Computer und ermöglicht die Übertragung von MIDI Daten parallel zum MIDI-Ausgang. Auch Updates der Firm- ware oder der Sound-Library sind über die USB Schnittstelle möglich.

NUMA Concert Netzkabel Sustain-Pedal VFP-1 Notenhalter Bedienungsanleitung

Bedienfeld / Anschlüsse

Alle Bedienelemente werden in dieser Bedienungsanleitung fett kursiv hervorgehoben (z.B. On/O).

Sollen zwei Tasten gleichzeitig gedrückt werden, wird dies durch & gekennzeichnet (z.B. Split & Bass 2). Sie können entweder beide Tasten gleichzeitig drücken, oder eine Taste gedrückt halten während Sie die zweite Taste drücken.

Tastenkombinationen mit Function werden rot hervorghoben. Drücken Sie zuerst Function und halten diese Taste gedrückt, während Sie die zweite Taste wählen (z.B. Function & Transpose).

Anzeigen und Werte des Displays werden in dieser Bedienungsanleitung fett geschrieben (z.B. P05). Die jeweiligen Einstellungen werden über Value +/- ver- än- dert. Halten Sie die Value +/- Taster unter dem Display länger gedrückt, so springt die Wertänderung von 1er auf 10er Schritte.
