NUMA Organ by Studiologic® 5
Your new NUMA Organ
Thank you very much for choosing the NUMA Organ. You have obtained a state-of-the-art
instrument made by the renowned manufacturer Studiologic® by Fatar.
Get inspired by the new NUMA Organ! Its Physical Modelling synthesis is the most authentic
revival of the sound of an electromechanical tone wheel organ. But the NUMA Organ is much more. We
recommend that you read the entire manual carefully to take full advantage of all the functions of your new
NUMA Organ.
An overview of the features of the NUMA Organ:
More than just a name:
Joey de Francesco
The brain behind:
Physical Modelling by KeyB
Joey de Francesco is an outstanding Jazz musician from the USA. By
the age of 17 he was already playing with Miles Davis. Since 2002
Down Beat magazine has consistently rated him as its Number One
organist. He is one of the mainsprings of the modern jazz organ
renaissance.
The NUMA Organ is a lifelike model of the original tone wheel organ
of Joey de Francesco. For more than two years, the in the 1950ies
built instrument of this exceptional artist was analyzed and can
now be oered to you as a Physical Model.
Joey de Francesco himself took part of the development and design
of the NUMA Organ. His very high demands and know-how in the
eld of tone wheel organs are reected directly in the instrument.
And this is the reason why Joey de Francesco allows Studiologic to
sign each NUMA Organ with his name.
The master mind of the Physical Model of the NUMA Organ
addicted his life to the tone wheel organ too. This expertise and
the possibility to study the original instrument over more than two
years makes the sound of the NUMA Organ the most authentic tone
wheel sound found in the market today.
Whether it’s the hum and buzz of the motor, mechanical crosstalk
of close together tone wheels or the mechanical clicks of switching
contacts, every detail of an original tone wheel organ found its way
into the physical model of the NUMA Organ. The instrument also
oers an excellent Rotary Speaker simulation
For purists:

amplier
You can also connect an external Rotary Speaker cabinet to your
NUMA Organ. Use the buttons of the NUMA Organ to switch the
external Rotary Speaker on and o, and control the rotary speed
with the modulation wheel.
Additionally you can use a separate direct out to play the NUMA
Organ over other ampliers.
You can extend the keyboard of your NUMA Organ by optional
MIDI keyboards or MIDI pedal boards. Up to three dierent timbres
are accessible and can be played independently from discrete keyboards.
The integrated USB ports allow your NUMA Organ to connect to
your computer. Updates of the rmware or of new physical models
will be accessible via USB.
What‘s behind NUMA Organ
In an original tone wheel organ, which was the model for NUMA
Organ, 91 steel wheels with lobes rotate in front of a pick-up
consisting of a permanent bar magnet and a spool.
Tone wheel
Because of the tone wheels‘ shape and rotation, the magnetic eld
in the pick-up changes periodically and generates a sine wave. With
8 dierent tone wheel shapes and 12 dierent gear trains 91 sine
frequencies are generated. This is independent of playing a note or
not. Corresponding to the principle of additive synthesis, those 91
frequencies are the base for creating dierent sound timbres.
By means of a complex circuit layout the sound is mixed via nine
drawbars and nine electrical contacts under each key. In this way
a tone wheel organ is able to create hundreds of perceivably
dierent sound timbres from just 91 generated sine frequencies. In
theory more than 380 million timbres are possible, but lots of those
timbres sound similar or are musically the same, for example an
octave shift.
Magnet
Spool
How a tone wheel organ
works
To generate a sound, NUMA Organ uses physical modelling. With
this technique a mathematical formula is used to describe the
physical behaviour of the tone wheel organ. The physical model
also calculates the impact and interaction of parameters on each
other.
A good example of this is the parameter Leakage. As
mentioned, a tone wheel organ generates all frequencies
at the same time, independent of whether a key is pressed or not.
With Leakage you can control from your NUMA Organ what we
might call the parameter “cross-talk of physically close together
tone wheels“.
The following example shows how the theory of physical modelling
really works:
To generate a “tonic keynote plus its upper octave with the
half level“, a sample based synthesizer would simply play a prerecorded audio le. But physical modelling calculates the formula
f(x)=[sin(x)]+[0,5*sin(2x)].
The graph of that calculation is shown below.

Operation / Drawbars
• Drawbars
Drawbars
Drawbars are a characteristic trait of a tone wheel organ.
Therefore we’ll explore them rst.
In the text the drawbars of the NUMA Organ are indicated by
coloured highlighted digits as shown below.
• Upper
• Lower
• Pedal
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
You use the drawbars to set the timbre of the NUMA Organ. A sound
can comprise up to nine sine frequencies.
Each drawbar represents a harmonic of the harmonic scale related
to the 8‘ stop of a pipe organ or respectively the drawbar
is also called “native pitch“.

Note: The labelling of the drawbars in feet derives from pipe organs, where
it represents the length of the pipes. For the 8‘ stop of a pipe organ the
pipe of the note C is exactly 8 feet long (=2,4m). The pitch is correct to the
key, based on the keys of a piano. Therefore the 8‘ stop is also called native
pitch or unison stop.
The colouring of the drawbars is very intuituive:
Brown drawbars add frequencies below the native pitch.They are
also used to adjust the timbre for Pedal. White drawbars are related
in octaves to each other, at which drawbar 3 (native pitch) represents the fundamental. Finally the black drawbars add fths and a
major third to the timbre.
When a drawbar is pushed all the way in (until you can‘t
see any digit), its harmonic is absent from the timbre. The
maximum volume for the drawbar is achieved, when you
see the digit 8. There are seven more volume positions in
between to add the harmonics of each drawbar to the timbre.
• Drawbars
Operation / Drawbars
At each push of a key all nine harmonics of this particular key are
generated. The drawbars simply adjust the levels among them. Thus
you can change the timbre while keys are pressed.
Note: Located under every single key of an original tone wheel organ were
nine contacts, which were all closed at the same time by pressing the key.
A bus system then regulated the volume for each contact via each of the
nine drawbars.
With your NUMA Organ you can play three di erent timbres at the
same time. To do this you may connect another MIDI keyboard and
a MIDI pedal board to the NUMA Organ (refer to page 17), or split
the manual of the NUMA Organ into two zones (refer to Split on
page 13).
Use the buttons Upper, Lower and Pedal to select the assign of the
drawbars. The active button will light up.
Upper: The drawbars form the timbre of the whole NUMA Organ
manual or, in Split mode, for the upper manual.
Lower: The drawbars form the timbre of an optional additional
keyboard or, in Split mode, for the lower manual.
Pedal:The drawbars form the timbre of an optional additional bass
pedal board or, in Split mode, for the lower manual, if Pedal to
Lower is activated.
Special Drawbar setting for Pedal:
To adjust the timbre for Pedal you can only use the drawbars
1 and 2. Drawbar 1 represents the 16‘ harmonic, while
drawbar 2 now adjusts the 8‘ harmonic!
For Upper and Lower all nine drawbars are accessible as
previously described.

Operation
• Pitch • Rotary / Modulation
• Chorus / Vibrato
Pitch Wheel
Rotary / Modulation Wheel
(Rotary Speaker Simulation)
To vary the pitch while playing by ±2 semitones, use the Pitch
wheel on the left. The wheel is self centring and will go back to its
centre position after being released (i.e. no pitch applied).
Press the On/Off button next to the Modulation / Rotary wheel
to switch the internal Rotary Speaker e ect on. The On/Off button
lights up.
Use the Modulation / Rotary wheel to adjust the speed of the
rotor. There are three states available: At the leftmost position
of the Modulation / Rotary wheel, the rotor runs slow. At the
centre position the rotor slows down and stops, but the sound
is still played back by the Rotary Speaker simulation. This state is
called “Brake“. By turning the Modulation / Rotary wheel to the
right, the simulated rotor spins fast.
If you would like to switch o the Rotary Speaker simulation, press
On/Off again. The lit button will turn o .
You can also change the Rotary Speaker speed with an attached
Sustain pedal.
If the Rotary wheel is set to the positions Slow or Fast, you alter
the Rotary speed with the Sustain pedal from slow to fast and vice
verse. If the Rotary wheel‘s position is Brake, the Sustain pedal
alters the Rotary speed from Brake to Fast (and vice verse).
Note: You can also use the Modulation / Rotary wheel, the On/Off
button and an attached Sustain pedal to control an external Rotary-
Cabinet. Please refer to page 16.
Chorus / Vibrato

With the big Vibrato And Chorus knob you can choose from
3 Vibrato or 3 Chorus e ect settings.
To assign the e ect to a manual, press Upper and/or Lower. You
can assign the e ect to the upper and lower manual at the same
time or just to one manual. The button(s) will light up. Press Upper
and/or Lower again, to deactivate the e ect for the particular
manual.
Note: You can attach a second keyboard and an additional bass pedal
board to the NUMA Organ, or use the Split function, to play two manuals
at the same time with the NUMA Organ keyboard. Please refer to pages 33
and 37 respectively.
• Split • Split point
Operation
• Transpose •Tune
Press Split to activate this function. The Split button will light up
and the manual is devided into two zones. Press Upper at the
drawbar section to adjust the timbre of the upper zone. Press Lower
to assign the drawbars to the lower zone.
Alternatively you can assign to the lower keyboard zone the pedal
manual. To do so, press Pedal to Lower. The button will light up. To
assign the drawbars to the lower keyboard zone then, press Pedal
at the drawbar section.
Use the Oct Up button to transpose the lower keyboard zone by
one octave up. The Oct Up button will light up.
To deactivate one of the functions above, just press the corresponding button again.
To adjust the split point, press and hold the On/Off button of the
split section for a few seconds. Using the keyboard (or Value +/-),
select the highest note for the lower split zone.
If you have to play in a demanding key, you can simplify this task
by transposing the keyboard (e.g. from F sharp major by minus one
semitone to F major).
To transpose in steps of a semi-tone, press Transpose+/-. If any
transposition is accessed either Transpose+ or Transpose- will light
up.
The Transposition setting will be kept until NUMA Organ‘s power is

Reverb
Even old tone wheel organs had already implemented spring
reverbs. This is simulated by the NUMA Organ. Use the Reverb knob
to adjust the intensity of the spring reverb and add depth to your
music.
Drive
With the Drive knob you control the intensity of a simulated tube
ampli er. Drive directly a ects the overall volume of the NUMA
Organ. The higher you set Drive, the more distortion you get. This
typical tube sound can be turned up to an ecstatic “yelling“ sound.
Key Click
The parameter Key Click lets your NUMA Organ age in no time
by adding the clicking noises which are usually associated with
old contacts. Luckily you can decide yourself how old your NUMA
Organ should sound.
Leakage
You can also add nostalgic “dirt“ to the sound of the NUMA Organ
by using Leakage. This parameter simulates the “cross-talk between
proximate tone wheels“.

To adjust the sound of the NUMA Organ to the environment, you
can cut or boost low and high frequencies using the Bass and
Treble knobs in the Output section. Set the sound level with the
Volume knob.
Operation
• Preset recall / store
You can also use your NUMA Organ as a master keyboard, providing
full MIDI note velocity dynamic range to other sound expanders.
Press Fatar dynamic TOUCH. The button lights up. Now the MIDI
notes will be sent with the full MIDI velocity range through the MIDI
output and USB. In this state the internal sound engine is not active
(Local o , MIDI on).
To play the internal sounds of the NUMA Organ and an external
device via MIDI or USB at the same time, press Fatar dynamic
TOUCH again. The button is now blinking (Local on / MIDI on).
By pressing Fatar dynamic TOUCH a third time, the button will
turn o . You play the internal sound of the NUMA Organ with the
keyboard and no MIDI data are sent via MIDI or USB (Local on / MIDI
o ).
After switching the NUMA Organ on, preset 12 is active by default.
Within this preset you can adjust all settings.
To recall another preset, the Preset function has to be active
(button lights up). You can then choose a preset by pushing one
of the 12 reverse coloured keys in the lowest octave. Immediately
the stored timbre will be recalled. That way you can change very
quickly between di erent sound settings during a performance,
as long as Preset is active and lit up. Preset 12 always keeps your
last adjustments. So you could, for example, switch to preset 5 and
come back to your last changes by switching to preset 12 again.
If the Preset function is deactivated (Preset is not lit up), you are
saved from changing a preset unintentionally. The reversed keys
are then without function. You can activate and deactivate the
Preset function by pressing Preset.
To store your own settings permanently, press and hold Preset.
While pressing Preset you select one of 11 storage memories by
pressing one of the reverse coloured keys 1 to 11. After releasing
Preset your actual settings are stored at the memory position of the
pressed reverse coloured key.
All parameters except the EQ / Volume and Fatar dynamic TOUCH
settings are stored in a preset.
It is not possible to overwrite preset memory 12. It always keeps
your last changes.

MIDI
MIDI (Musical Instruments Digital Interface) is a standard
for data transmission between sound modules, sythesizers,
drum computers and music software. Please note: The MIDI
Out of a device is connected with the MIDI In of another
device. Incoming data arriving at the MIDI In are duplicated at the
MIDI Thru socket.
The NUMA Organ sends MIDI data on the MIDI Out and at the same
time via the USB port. MIDI data are received via MIDI In.
You can extend the manual of your NUMA Organ by attaching an
optional second MIDI keyboard and/or a MIDI bass-pedalboard.
Connect the MIDI output of the second device to the MIDI input of
the NUMA Organ.
Please be aware of the following:
Drawbar settings for Upper are always related to MIDI channel 1.
Drawbar settings for Lower are always related to MIDI channel 2.
Drawbar settings for Pedal are always related to MIDI channel 3.
If you want to use the second keyboard as Lower manual, it must
send its data on MIDI channel 2. If you want to use a MIDI bass pedal
board to simulate a big organ, make sure it sends its data on MIDI
channel 3.

Note: All MIDI data sent over MIDI channel 1 to the NUMA Organ aect
general parameters or settings for the Upper manual. All data sent via MIDI
channel 2 control the Lower manual. With MIDI channel 3 you can control all
parameters related to the bass pedal board.
MIDI
To use your NUMA Organ as MIDI masterkeyboard, switch on the
Fatar dynamic TOUCH function as described on page 15.
Please Note:
If Fatar dynamic TOUCH is activated, an attached Sustain pedal
sends the MIDI sustain message (MIDI CC 64). But for the internal
sound engine of the NUMA Organ the Sustain pedal always
controls the Rotary speed!
The NUMA Organ sends on MIDI channels 1 to 3 all parameters and
adjustments you make. That way you can, for example,record the
dynamic change of the Drawbars in a MIDI sequencer.
