I don't miss the N1X because while the action was a real acoustic action, it didn't really work good as a midi controller which was how I was using it. I don't understand how Yamaha does their velocity mapping, but reaching all 127 midi velocities was not natural. I always had to rely on midi touch curve adjustments in the piano software I was using. Also, the speaker system on it was subpar. The action needed to be regulated after using it for several years and there was no real easy way to do that since the action doesn't slide out easily like an acoustic piano. You have to factor in calibrating sensors and it takes a trained technician if you could find one with experience working on a hybrid.

Very much appreciate you sharing your experience. I'll be 100 honest in that I was feeling that hybrids would be less of a maintenance need. Will definitely be considering that for my next piano.

Actually they just modeled the sound from a tape recording of a B211. I really don't understand how modeling works, but I know it's different from sampling in that they don't actually record/sample a real piano.

​@Comfort_One_Another oh very interesting! I guess I assumed it was sampled since to my ears it sounded very nice. I do appreciate these videos though! They are very educational in hearing how something can sound before a purchase.

I have a vocal pitch monitor app so I can check to make sure I'm hitting the notes or at least getting close enough. If I was really off on a note I would just re-record to entire song. The human voice doesn't sound natural if it's pitch corrected and snaps to the notes perfectly every time. That's not the way air being pushed through our vocal cords is meant to sound.

Hi. I currently have some very nice Genelec 8050 Studio Monitors and mostly play the piano through those since I don't have internal speakers on my Numa X Piano GT. I sold my Yamaha N1X. I use headphones when I don't want to bother other people with my playing at night. I'm not a fan of internal speakers on digital pianos because they usually don't sound good. I know someone that has augmented his NV10 with Genelec 8050s and really loves the sound.

@@Comfort_One_Another thanks for your reply!! Helps a lot

Hi. I haven't tried the VPC1 or the Dexibell S9. However, I'll be first in line to buy a a VPC2 is Kawai ever releases one. Of course, presuming it has an updated action and pedal unit.

Hi. I have a Mac mini M2 pro with 32GB of RAM. Latency is set to 64 or less and I don't have any problems or glitches running the most demanding piano software. The M2 Pro laughs at whatever I throw at and says, "is that all you got?" 😀

I really don't play anything too sophisticated so I can't speak from experience, but I would assume a capable pianist could play Chopin on it.

Sorry. I think this video was linked to a piano forum and might be more informative in that context.

Virtual pianos sound so much better than the onboard/internal sounds of factory digital pianos.

Hi. It would probably be easier to replace your Numa X with something that has a lighter action. I'm not sure what Studiologic has available.

@@Comfort_One_Another trouble is the other offerings have FAR less audio and MIDI capability!!

I think yo should definitely feel a difference between the various touch sensitivity modes. Especially between the extremes. Heavy should take more force to produce a louder sound while light should take less downward force.

Did you notice that Signore Bello replaced this Roland by a Yamaha (mentioned in the introductory text under the video). I'm not into Roland, but is the "keytouch mode" just Roland jargon for "velocity curve"? If true, then changing modes does not alter the weighting of the keys in any way (which seems a reasonable assumption to me, at this price point). What resonates in my brain are the words of Stu Harris who reviews pianos in a piano shop YT channel context. Great musician, by the way. He once said, my paraphrasing, about a piano that you might feel it is too hard to make it sound loud and rather than alter its velocity curves, just set the volume louder. You see, with the piano's (the audio chain's) volume set to 1/4, you can never play fff. Set it to 100% (or 90% to prevent clipping) and it plays a lot lighter. The grams weight are nice to know and in real piano actions differ from instrument to instrument and their ages. What a pianist actually does is accelerate a hammer through a mechanism under each key. In a real piano action, as the length of the mechanism attached to a key changes from long to short (left to right), the resistance also changes. When you keep playing the same instrument you don't notice this consciously as you adapt your hitting of keys to the desired volume

I listen to the 8050s almost daily. Best studio monitors I've ever owned. They have a very flat frequency response which is great for mixing. I add colorful EQ to the music I listen to through them, but leave the frequency flat for piano playing. The bass extension is great with the 8 inch drivers. The bass roll-off is low (38 -32 Hz) on the 8050 which means I don't have to play loud to hear the lower frequencies. They are built like tanks with two piece cast aluminum cabinets which could survive the apocalypse. 😀

Black is cool.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Jeff. Good to hear from you. God Bless.

I would happily do it if I had a Dexibell S10. However, I don't see myself being able to acquire one probably ever. I'll do it someone wants to send me one.

@@Comfort_One_Another or experiment it in a music store.

Thank dad. Good to hear from you.

Because that's the two pianos I had at the time.

That's only the VSL Synchron Piano.

I haven't played the Dexibell.

Hi. I don't remember if the Roland supports note off, but I know it does support continuous pedaling. The Numa supports both.

Well said. Thanks for sharing.

Yamaha N1X.

Pretty much. The keys do have a substantial feel to them while still feeling quick and agile.

I wish. That's actually Elvis Presley. His Aloha from Hawaii concert.

@@Comfort_One_Another Thank you, David.

Hi. It's called "Search Me, O God." My most recent recording of it can be found here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtKFpNiUlre0n40.htmlsi=A-ruU9_nDUewAIyO

Hi, my preset for the F308 can be found in this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/faycgdeYl6q3p6c.htmlsi=MR4ZF9xmsZffQbgo It's the only preset I have kept. Everything else was just an experiment.

Unfortunately, I don't. That curve was made for my N1X which I have since sold. I deleted all my N1X presets. Sorry. However, if you zoom in on it, you should be able to duplicate it.

@@Comfort_One_Another Did you purchase another instrument to take its place? The N1X is a great piano.

@@245artist Hi. After the N1X, I owned a Roland FP90X and now I own a Studiologic Numa X Piano GT.

Yeah, I enjoyed watching the Studiologic tour as well. The Numa X GT doesn't get as much attention as Roland, Yamah, and Kawai, but it's a very capable stage piano. I've owned it for 6 months now and my appreciation for it has grown.

I think I recall the TP400 being a bit louder action, but not noticeable when playing at a normal volume or with headphones on.

Thank you sir!

I haven't heard of the Numa Piano X GT have quality control issues. I know there was a firmware update that corrected some issue early on when it first came out. There have been several firmware updates since it came out that brought improvements.

Amen! 🙏

Unfortunately, I have not tried the SL88 or the VPC1. Ideally you can try before you buy. If not, then make sure whomever you purchase from has a return policy you are comfortable with.

It's a great thing to be satisfied in life. 👍

Hi. I wish I could tell you what action I prefer, but I never played a VPC1. Currently the VPC 1 is $500 more expensive than the Numa X Piano GT. The VPC 1 is only a controller with no internal sounds while the Numa has an entire library of sounds. I'll most likely try an VPC 2 if one is ever introduced, especially if they replace the old RM3II action with the newer Grand Feel Compact.

@@Comfort_One_Another I'm from Brasil. Here the VPC1 is less expensive, 16k vs 21k from numa. I have Numa X and I hate the sounds! And 4 of my keyboards keys are making weird noises.

@@pianobis777 Might be worth trying out the VPC1. Let me know your impressions if you end up getting it.

@@Comfort_One_Another Now i'm betwen from changing my Numa X for the GT or for the Korg GrandStage. Korg i'll expend less money, but I'm not sure about the keys.

What did you do? I am between VPC1 and SL88Grand
