Your new NUMA Stage

Thank you very much for choosing the NUMA Stage. You have obtained a state-of-the-art keyboard made by the renowned manufacturer Studiologic.

The NUMA Stage is easy to operate, and offers 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 Stage.

An overview of the functions of the NUMA Stage:

Hammer action keyboard	The NUMA Stage offers the latest innovative technology by
	Fatar: The sophisticated hammer action keyboard TP/100LR
	with triple switch sensor. The NUMA Stage weights 13 kg and
	is therefore portable, yet it offers the realistic piano touch for
	which Fatar is famous. You will love the touch and sound of
	your NUMA Stage.
Internal Sounds	You can immediately start playing the 12 selected high
	quality sounds, which have been carefully sampled. Expe-
	rienced keyboard players and musicians selected those
	sounds and were involved in the design of the straightfor-
	ward operation of NUMA Stage. Therefore NUMA Stage is
	your perfect partner on stage, in the studio or at home - re-
	gardless 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 effects.
Masterkeyboard functions	The masterkeyboard functions of the NUMA Stage 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 Stage without
	the need of routing through other devices.
Audio connections	As well as the stereo audio output, the NUMA Stage has two
	additional headphone outs. This is ideal for music schools and
	late-night jam sessions without disturbing the neighbours.
	Plug your mp3-player or MIDI sound module into the audio
	input of the instrument Mix external audio devices directly
	with the sounds inside the NUMA Stage.
Interactive NUMA	The integrated USB port allows your NUMA Stage to connect
USB <> Computer	to your computer. 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.
Delivery includes	NUMA Stage
	Power chord
	Sustain pedal VFP-1
	Music stand

The String Resonance Modelling includes 3 natural effects:	Strings Res
Strings Resonance: this effect has been analyzed and repro-
duced by the Studiologic Lab‘s team and implemented with
many improvements, that allow to have a very warm and na-
tural effect (as compared to many other instruments) with a
wider frequency response and a very realistic sound. The ef-
fect reproduces the resonance of all strings, when the Dam-
per 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 Stage also reproduces this natural
acoustic effect.
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 sour-
ces) 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 artificially stop all other strings (with felt of clothes)
when tuning the instrument. The Numa Stage also reprodu-
ces this natural effect, that completes the Strings Resonance
Modelling.
To access the settings press Function & Strings Res. the dis-	Strings Res setting
play shows the current level, from Off to 10, and the amount
of all 3 above described Strings Resonance effects can be
controlled according to your taste (suggested levels: 3-4)
Note: when a Modulation Effect is selected (e.g. Chorus etc)
the Strings Resonance is automatically set to Off, in order to
avoid any over post-processing of the selected sound.

In order to make the live performance very easy, without the	Autoset
need of using the powerful preset programming, the instru-
ment has an easy Auto set functions that automatically me-
morizes the effect (and related parameters) selected for each
sound, recalling it simply when selecting the sound.
In other words, the instrument memorizes the effect that you
have choosen and edited (with the parameter accessed by
the Free Wheel) making the live performance easy and effec-
tive.
As an example, if you are playing with the Stage Grand sound
you will probably not use any effect, while you will normal-
ly associate a Phaser effect 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 tur-
ned off, avoiding the need of any other programming. The
same result will be obtained for each sound and the selected
effect (for instance: Rotary with the Organs, Chorus with a
Pad sound etc) of any combination of your choice.
The Free Wheel controls different parameters, according to
the selected Modulation Effect: as an example, it controls the
speed of the Tremolo, the feedback and speed of the Phaser
and the Slow/Fast control of the Rotary.
This function, in addition to the Auto Set function described
above, makes the live performance even more effective and
totally user’s friendly.
