For over a year now, we have worked side by side with some of the greatest artists playing the international scene. Our aim has been to identify and learn all about their needs during a performance with the desire of including their requirements in the new features of our Numa Piano update pack. This way we are able to bring the professional artists´ requirements  to all our users. All the new features are focused on improving the usability of the instrument over all musical contexts.

The free Numa Piano firmware and sound bank update will be available soon.

Major improved points:

• Grand Piano Sound
• Clavinet Sound
• Pads Sound
• Effects
• Dynamic
• Pitch/Mod wheels

Insights

Grand Piano: Improved and extended total dynamic range; optimized sound and envelopes modeling for a greater expressiveness and overall timbre definition of a concert grand piano from the “pianissimo” subtle nuances to the brighter powerful “fortissimo”. A perfect sound for all music from classic to jazz.

Clavinet: Instant faster attacks and releases allowing complex rhythmic patterns to be played; in addition to the (new) phaser it can create real funky patterns

Pads: New control over the timbre and envelope parameters, allowing either slow attack orchestral sounds or faster attack and brighter ensembles, depending on the play dynamic.

All Sounds: Overall improvement of balance, dynamic response and levels

Effects auto-set: This new feature allows you to automatically memorize and recall any post-processing effect (chorus, tremolo etc) and the related controls (speed, depth etc) for each sound. It also allows for auto-setting of the desired effect for each sound. This function can also be stored in a general default preset.

Effects enhancements: New full-stereo tremolo, total phaser speed/feedback and chorus parameters controlled by the modulation wheel (with auto set)

Keyboard dynamic: Enhanced velocity curve for a perfect playing control

Pitch & Modulation: Faster pitch and stability protected modulation controls

Output: Improved signal level (+ 6 dB) and related signal to noise ratio

New internal presets (user updatable) with all new improved sounds/effects.
