Numa Player Reviews

Sound quality is great, much better than I expected. A few issues I noticed: CPU usage is higher than I expected. Also it often times doesn’t register when I play a key in the keyboard which makes it unusable for me. Hoping this gets fixed soon.

I love NumaPlayer. Decent sounds with a simple to user interface. Great concept, unified across platforms. Studiologic really listens to their customers and the keyboardist community.

I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall it a few times as it will crash occasionally then struggle to reopen.

Audio output could be a bit more balanced. The string/pad section is much louder than other sections.

I am not sure how I missed NumaPlayer but recently picked it up. I still need to figure some of it out but it’s great auv3 for bread and butter sounds. The damper pedal noise is a little too much for me but it’s great that it’s tweakable. It has been stable in using it standalone and in auv3.

i love the update, mostly. However, for some reason my Zone control slider on my Yamaha CP-33 doesn't control the volume now, after this update...it worked before, without doing anything!

I was surprised at the ease of use and the ability to split and layer. The sounds are very good, unfortunately it doesn’t have an organ, which is a necessity for me. I’ll be checking back to see when for sound are loaded.

This is, thus far, a very interesting approach to generating music on ISO devices. Now admittedly, I’m just getting into it but I’m using it as a standalone unit right now and maybe that’s the problem. Because when I hit the keyboard button so I can hear, what I’m doing as I program and make changes with the different effects, every time I example or change level, the keyboard disappears. So I have to go to the pulldown menu and the keyboard to come back. God, what a pain! So I’ll use it inside GarageBand iOS and see if the problem remains and get back to everybody.

NumaPlayer provides a stellar steinway sound, and a great UI for a gigging musician. It is almost a perfect app, except that there seems to be polyphony issues when playing consistently for more than a few minutes and notes start to drop out. Because the MIDI Panic button is hidden in the settings, it makes NumaPlayer not perfect yet for gigging.

Ideally we’d be able to adjust the polyphony setting ourselves to avoid this note dropout. Additionally, there are some noise issues with the string resonance that you have to solve by increasing the buffer size to an unusable delay. It would be great to see this improve.

All that being said, I really hope Studiologic keeps working on NumaPlayer and maybe down the road we see IAPs for additional SL sounds that we see on their Numa Piano series.

Overall, NumaPlayer is a potential gem. I emphasize the word potential, only because the Rhodes sounds are too gentle sounding for my taste. They lack that dynamic bark that you should get when you dig into the keys. The only other gripe I have with NumaPlayer is if you make an tone color settings, it doesn’t retain your settings even after you save it, it always reverts back to the original setting. You can’t expect perfection for free, but this is as good as it gets for a free app.

I like the pianos and how they sound but I feel like there are a few things that could be useful: 1. More types of resonance (physically modeling the strings and dampers and stuff, which should be an option in case you are running it on a low end device); Aliquot (using the same duplex scale resonance just with some adjustments), Body resonance, Bridge/Soundboard resonance. 2. New Pianos, Any Yamaha piano works but I would like a Bosendorfer or a CFX added.

I’m updating a very positive review to bring it down a notch. NumaPlayer sounds wonderful, and it the polyphony bug is partially fixed, but it will still start dropping notes after you have been playing anything with any complexity for a few minutes. This is a problem because it sounds so good that it makes you want to play. Ravenscroft 275 may not sound as good, but at least it doesn’t drop notes when you are playing, even after a long session. This is so, so very close, but it still needs a little work to bring it home!

I am stunned Studiologic offered this for free!!!! Can’t begin to count the amount of synth, rompler, and production apps I have paid for. And while I don’t regret most of the purchases, and rarely comment, good or bad, with reviews on any of them, Studiologic has won a fan for life by this kind gesture. If NumaPlayer gets expanded, I’ll gladly pay for whatever expansion happens. WTG…..

With the 1983 Steinway D included, I suggest turning off all the internal FX and using something better. For free, the Elephant Room Reverb I was able to dial into a tremendous piano hall. Turn down the duplex whining and narrow the excessive stereo image a bit with a Midside plugin and this arguably beats Pianoteq, Module, GSi, you name it. For free!

And several of the other sounds are great as well. A true credit to iOS and Studiologic. Thanks!!!

Sounds great! Simple to navigate with so much so offer.
Glad i found NumaPlayer from youtube/soundtestroom review.
Many many thanks to the developer for such a great app for free. In these times of new avenues for big tech greed & control. I applaud you free minded developers for creating and sharing♻️❤️💛💚

Rare to see something like this come in at free. And updates along the way. I feel bad asking when this is a free app, but is the ability to midi learn in a future update? If it’s there, I missed it. Five stars all around. Thank you.

This is the best thing since sliced bread.
You won’t find a better piano app.
The sound is high end. You can layer to your liking. The sound is better than my Nord piano 3 ($3000) . If there is ever an up grade , I want it ! Please buy NumaPlayer.
Wait, it’s free!

I use this often when I want to sit and play piano. I have logic,spitfire audio stuff, music sounds. NumaPlayer works on several platforms and it is simple and does not crash. Thank you studiologic

I kept searching for anything similar to a simplified mainstage setup and didn’t know Numa released this. I own a NUMA Compact 2x and jus found it after months of owning it.

Grab it and is worth it for your Worship set!

I downloaded this specifically for the Clavinet. On less expensive synths, the Clavinet samples are virtually always the same two that are based on Stevie Wonder recordings. Good for what they are, but by far not the entire range of sound available from a real Clavinet.

So I grabbed numa… and it does not disappoint. It provides the full, deep, throaty sound missing from the previously cited samples.

The vibes sound is also very good.

I really like the sound quality the design and interface of NUMA PLAYER. please make more sound libraries I’m willing to to pay for extensions and libraries. thanks a lot studiologic.

I can’t say thank you enough for NumaPlayer
Great work to all developers . I’m really grateful you made NumaPlayer for free not because I couldn’t have afford it but I’m thinking millions out there you have helped .
A very big thank you to the developers
