Now that we have listed and described the features of this keyboard there is no better way than to take a look at the following videos where they tell us more about the Studiologic Numa Compact 2x and you can hear how its different sounds sound.

Now let’s compare the Studiologic Numa Compact 2x with its more common alternatives. Also at the end of the post you will find a section with the best shopping possibilities for this digital piano. But you can go directly to that part of the post by pressing the following button.

Studiologic Numa Compact 2x vs Studiologic Numa Compact 2

Now we will analyze two pianos of the same brand Studiologic, the Numa Compact 2x with a value we already know of €659/£611 and its predecessor the Numa Compact 2, with a value of €379/£351, reaching a difference in price of 280. We will check if we have that difference in money as well with its main features:

  • In terms of keys, we can say that they have exactly the same keys as both have 88 semi-weighted keys with Aftertouch function (aftertouch or post click is a common detection system on keyboards that generates a type of MIDI control information) and hammer mechanics. Remembering that the weighted keyboard is the weight of the keys on an acoustic piano and that digital pianos try to imitate it to match the touch of the piano. In the high register they are heavier and in the high register less. While sensitivity refers to the function of being able to perform dynamics in performances, i.e. when we play a key with force it sounds louder than when we play another one with less force.
  • Both have 128 notes of polyphony, which is the maximum number of notes that can be played at the same time.
  • The Compact 2 has 80 sounds, while the Compact 2x has 88 sounds, not counting the 99 sound configurations, its sound generators which are Synth, piano and organ, which can be modified thanks to the 9 faders with which the piano is integrated.
  • Both have an OLED screen, a central joystick, two programmable joysticks, 1GB of flash storage with 8 banks of sounds, effects such as reverb and chorus, split function and EQ.
  • Both also have a USB MIDI connection, allowing them to be connected to a computer to function as MIDI controllers in a music composition or production program, two pedal inputs; one for sustain, stereo output and headphone output, and two powerful 10W speakers.
  • The Compact 2x also has a 2 x 2 USB audio interface, which really comes in handy for those who want to work with it in music production, it also has a USB input, where we can not only record sounds, but also play and modify them.

As you can see, the main differences between both models are in the amount of sounds they have and the new features such as the 9 handles (faders), the option of having a 2 x 2 audio interface, which for someone who works in the studio is a wonder, and the USB input.

We will put the characteristics of each of these pianos in 2 different columns to make it easier to see the differences:

Studiologic Numa Compact 2x vs Yamaha P-125

Now we will make the following comparison between the keyboards: the Studiologic Numa Compact 2X which is priced at €659/£611 and the Yamaha P-125 which is priced at €566/£518, having a difference of approximately €105, we will see their differences and similarities in the following face-to-face:

  • The Studiologic has 88 semi-weighted keys with Aftertouch function (aftertouch or post click is a common detection system on keyboards that generates a type of MIDI control information) and hammer mechanics. When the Yamaha has 88 weighted keys with GHS technology
    Remembering that the Weighted keyboard is the weight that the keys of an acoustic piano have and that digital pianos try to imitate to equal the touch of the piano. In the high register they are heavier and in the high register less. While sensitivity refers to the function of being able to perform dynamics in performances, that is, when we play a key with force it sounds louder than when we play another one with less force.
  • The Studiologic has 128 notes of polyphony, and the Yamaha 192 notes of polyphony. Polyphony is the maximum number of notes that can be played at one time.
  • The Studiologic Compact Numa 2x has 88 sounds, and its voices include Synth, piano and organ, which can be modified thanks to the 9 faders that are integrated into the piano. The Yamaha P125 has 24 voices generated by its Pure CF sound engine.
  • The Studiologic has an OLED screen, a central joystick, two programmable joysticks, 1GB of flash storage with 8 sound banks, effects such as reverb and chorus, split function and EQ.
  • The Yamaha has functions: dual, split and duo, two-track recording, Intelligent Acoustic Control function, the Reverb effect, Sound Boost and Master EQ.
  • In addition, both have USB MIDI connections, allowing them to be connected to a computer to function as MIDI controllers in a music composition or production program (the Yamaha can be connected to iOS devices such as iPhone or iPad), two pedal inputs; one for sustain, stereo output and headphone output.
  • The Studiologic has two 10W speakers while the Yamaha P 125 has two 7W speakers.
  • The Studiologic weighs 7.1 kg and measures 1270 × 230 x 110 mm (L x W x H) and the Yamaha weighs 11.8 kg and measures 1326 × 166 × 295 mm (W x H x D).

There are two digital pianos with different main functions, the Studiologic with a greater number of sounds, Aftertouch function, different user sound settings, a joystick control and other features make it a digital piano with functions more like a synthesizer. While the Yamaha P 125 with its weighted keys has the most polyphony, its resonance attenuator makes it a digital piano with functions more like a real acoustic piano.

We will put the characteristics of each of these pianos in 2 different columns to make it easier to see the differences:

Digital Piano Studiologic Numa Compact 2 Full Review. Is it a good one?

Complete Review Studiologic Numa Compact 2 Digital Piano. It is a good choice?

Studiologic is a manufacturer of digital musical instruments like pianos, synthesizers, organs and more. This time we are going to analyze the Studiologic Numa Compact 2 Digital Piano that has a price of €379/$500/£351 and whose characteristics are:

  • Digital piano with 88 semi-weighted keys (Weight that the keys of an acoustic piano have and that digital pianos try to imitate to equal the touch of the piano. The keys in the high register are heavier and in the high register less. This is different from the sensitivity on the keyboard which serves to regulate the volume of the note. But a weighted keyboard always has sensitivity in the keys) with Aftertouch function and hammer mechanics
  • 128 notes of polyphony (Number of notes that can be played at once. This includes accompaniments that also consume notes. So if you play on top of an accompaniment more notes will be accumulated)
  • 80 sounds (Different sounds of piano and other instruments)
  • OLED quality display
  • Central joystick control for more controls
  • Dimming piano sounds that simulate virtual string resonance
  • 2 programmable joystick controls
  • Many effects with reverb, chorus
  • Split function (dividing the keyboard into two different instruments)
  • Sound equalization with Bass, Treble, Mastering controls
  • USB midi (MIDI allows you to do such wonderful things as connect your keyboard to your computer, record a sound track and with certain programs click through what you’ve played to musical notes on a score. MIDI tracks store the information of the musical notes)
  • Sustain pedal input (The sustain pedal of a piano or keyboard is used to keep the note playing even if you stop pressing the key) + input for another pedal. Not included
  • Stereo line and headphone output
  • 2 fairly powerful 10W speakers
  • Feeder included
  • Weight 7.1 kg and dimensions (L x W x H): 1270 x 230 x 110 mm

demo review studiologic-numa-compact-2

We are talking about a very interesting keyboard because it has a very light weight, powerful speakers and line output for less than 400 euros. A pity it doesn’t have a pedal but this keyboard is a great option as a live piano to take with you everywhere.

Studiologic Numa Compact 2 vs Studiologic Numa Compact 2x

Now we will analyze two pianos of the same brand Studiologic, the Numa Compact 2, being the predecessor, with a value that we already know €379/$500/£351 and the Numa Compact 2x, the next model, that although its name is very similar, in the price it differs quite a lot since it reaches €659/$700/£611, reaching a difference in price of 280 euros. We will verify if this difference in money we also have it with its main characteristics:

  • In terms of keys, we can deduce that they have exactly the same keys since both have 88 semi-balanced keys with Aftertouch function and hammer mechanics. Remembering that the weighted keys is the weight that the keys of an acoustic piano have and that digital pianos try to imitate to equal the touch of the piano. The keys in the high register are heavier and in the high register less. This is different from the sensitivity on the keyboard which serves to regulate the volume of the note. But a weighted keyboard always has sensitivity in the keys.
  • Both have 128 notes of polyphony, which is the maximum number of notes that can be played at the same time.
  • The Compact 2 has 80 sounds, while the Compact 2x has 88 sounds, not counting the 99 sound settings, its sound generators which are Synth, piano and organ, which can be modified thanks to the 9 faders with which the piano is integrated.
  • Both have an OLED screen, a central joystick, two programmable joysticks, 1GB of flash storage with 8 sound banks, effects such as reverb and chorus, split function and EQ.
  • In addition, both have a USB MIDI connection, which allows them to be connected to a computer to function as MIDI controllers in a music composition or production program, two pedal inputs; one for sustain, stereo output and headphone output, and two powerful 10W speakers.
  • The Compact 2x also has a 2 x 2 USB audio interface, which really comes in handy for those who want to work with it in music production, it also has a USB input, where we can not only record sounds, but also play and modify them.

As you can see the main differences are in the amount of sounds they have and the new functions such as the 9 handles (faders), the option of having a 2 x 2 audio interface and the USB input.

We will put the characteristics of each of these pianos in 2 different columns to make it easier to see the differences:

Studiologic Numa Compact 2 vs Thomann SP-320

Now we will compare two digital pianos, which are the Studiologic Numa Compact 2 with a price of €379/$500/£351 and the Thomann SP-320 with a price of €239/£218 reaching a difference of 140 Euro which is worth checking if there is a difference between their features:

  • Both pianos have 88 keys, in the Studiologic they are semi-weighted with aftertouch function and hammer mechanics, while in the Thomann SP320 they are completely weighted keys and touch-sensitive. Weighted keys refers to the weight of the keys on an acoustic piano, which digital pianos try to imitate to match the touch of the piano. The keys in the high register are heavier and in the high register less. This is different from the sensitivity on the keyboard that serves to regulate the volume of the note, if it is played more loudly. But a weighted keys digital piano always has sensitivity in the keys.
  • The Studiologic has 80 sounds and 128 notes in polyphony, while the Thomann SP320 has 12 sounds and 32 notes in polyphony. A big difference between the two.
  • The Studiologic has an OLED display, a central joystick, two programmable joysticks, 1GB flash storage with 8 sound banks, effects such as reverb and chorus, split function and EQ. While the Thomann is easier with a button panel to switch between its sounds, activate/deactivate effects and increase/decrease the volume.
  • In addition, both have a USB MIDI connection, which allows them to be connected to a computer to function as MIDI controllers in a music composition or production program.
  • The Studiologic has two pedal inputs; one for sustain, stereo output and headphone output, and 2 powerful 10W speakers, when the Thomann has sustain input only, line output, headphone output and 2 very powerful 20W speakers.
  • The Thomann also has a foot pedal included.
  • Both include power and the Thomann music stand.
  • The Studiologic weighs 7.1Kg and measures (L x W x H): 1270 x 230 x 110 mm, the Thomann weighs 9Kg and measures 1275 x 275 x 85mm (W x D x H).

As you can see from its characteristics, the Thomann is more designed to study the piano as a classical instrument, while the Studiologic, can be used both for that, as well as to experience other musical genres or fields such as production and be used live. I really like the Numa Compact 2 for its price. Hopefully it will last longer on the market. Although it is true that if you want a piano with counterbalance the Thomann SP 320 has an unbeatable price.

We are going to put the characteristics of each of these pianos in 2 different columns to make it easier to see the differences:

Studiologic Numa Compact 2 vs Thomann SP-5600

Finally we will make a comparison between the Studiologic Numa Compact 2 digital pianos with a price of €379/$500/£351 and the Thomann SP-5600 with a price of €369/£333, arriving at a difference of only 10 Euro, let’s see which one best meets your expectations in this face-to-face:

  • Both pianos have 88 keys, in the Studiologic they are semi-weighted with aftertouch function and hammer mechanics, while in the Thomann SP-5600 they are weighted keys and touch-sensitive. Weighted keys refers to the weight of the keys on an acoustic piano, which digital pianos try to imitate to match the touch of the piano. The keys in the high register are heavier and in the high register less. This is different from the sensitivity on the keyboard that serves to regulate the volume of the note, if it is played more loudly. But a weighted keys digital piano always has sensitivity in the keys.
  • The Studiologic has 80 sounds and 128 notes in polyphony, while the Thomann SP 5600 has 600 sounds and 128 notes in polyphony. A big difference between the number of sounds of both.
  • The Studiologic has an OLED display, a central joystick, two programmable joysticks, 1GB flash storage with 8 sound banks, effects like reverb and chorus, split function and EQ. While the Thomann is simpler with a button panel to switch between its sounds, activate/deactivate effects, increase/decrease the volume and a Pitch Bend wheel, which serves to change the pitch (height) of a note while it is playing.
  • Both also have a USB MIDI connection, allowing them to be connected to a computer to function as MIDI controllers in a music composition or production program.
  • The Studiologic has two pedal inputs; one for sustain, stereo output and headphone output, and 2 powerful 10W speakers, when the Thomann has sustain input only, line output, two headphone outputs (intended for teaching) and 2 powerful 10W speakers like the Studiologic. The Studiologic does not have a pedal as we said before but the Thomann SP 5600 does.
  • Both include power supply and the Thomann music stand and also include the sustain pedal.
  • The weight of the Studiologic is 7.1Kg and it measures (L x W x H): 1270 x 230 x 110 mm, the Thomann weighs 14 Kg and its dimensions are 1365 x 366 x 137mm (W x D x H). Another thing you have to think about when making a decision, as the Thomann will be a little more difficult to move but it still is.

We are talking about very competitive pianos because of the price they have. Although it is true that they are not the most famous brands. The Thomann SP 5600 is a best seller if your budget is around 400 and you need a counterbalanced piano. I like the counterbalanced Yamaha P45 better but the Thomann SP 5600 can always be a good choice. On the other hand, the Studiologic Numa is a great portable option thanks to the 7 kg it weighs against the 14 kg of the Thomann. The Studiologic can even be carried on public transport and is great for small spaces. Too bad you don’t have the sustain pedal with you while the Thomann does.

We will put the characteristics of each of these pianos in 2 different columns to make it easier to see the differences:
