Feel of the action (they say the pivot point is a bit longer here than in the TP400W)

I haven't tried the Numa XGT but I did try the FP90X with pianoteq and did like two critical things for me: Have you been able to compare it to the FP90X (or any PHA50 action)?

the playback system and room - and that can never be anything like a physical piano - that's just a reality of the game.)Īs an interface to Pianoteq, I can't recommend the Numa X GT highly enough.Īs an interface to Pianoteq, I can't recommend the Numa X GT highly enough (The second problem is the tones themselves, and you all know the capabilities of Pianoteq in that regard the third problem is the sound propagation medium, i. I feel that the Numa X GT eliminates one of the three problems with digital pianos: the linkage between my mind and the production of sounds. I always felt they were just triggers in the form of a piano keyboard - ok for producing a sound somewhere, but not even remotely like being inside the circle of awareness between mind, ears, fingers, and sound, that a real piano delivers. I have also had several MIDI keyboards over the past 20 years, none of them more than 'weighted' in a token way, none of them much good. I have been playing piano for 64 years, on many, many different pianos, but the majority of the time on a variety of Steinway grands, plus one Bösendorfer. I have had my Numa X Piano GT for 10 days now. It's definitely an improvement over the tp40wood!! So now, I maybe hope that in time there will be something more minimalistic like the SL88 with the new keybed. I was always thinking I would use it with pianoteq but the numa ones. I was listening with my beyerdynamic headphones and they are quite honest.

But with the numa x I was always a bit sceptic about the sound. it's really a problem, when you watch the best musicians playing fancy songs to show the instruments. Very dissapointing, I think.Īnd it has so many knobs compared to the SL88 - and if the main button does not work already.Īnd the sound of the pianos: Oh my!. the SL is 770eur) OR it maybe would if there hadn't been a first big downer: the on/off switch didn't work properly: I had to push it a few times like a lawnmower=) to get it started. I have the SL88grand which I'm very satisfied with but I wanted to have that new keyboard-action: 'fatar tp400 wood'!Īnd yes, I think it's better BUT for me it's not worth the price (1790eur vs.
