NUMA Organ by Studiologic® 6
Your new NUMA Organ
Thank you very much for choosing the NUMA Organ. You have obtained a state-of-the-art
instrument made by the renowned manufacturer Studiologic® by Fatar.
Get inspired by the new NUMA Organ! Its Physical Modelling synthesis is the most authentic
revival of the sound of an electromechanical tone wheel organ. But the NUMA Organ is much more. We
recommend that you read the entire manual carefully to take full advantage of all the functions of your new
NUMA Organ.
An overview of the features of the NUMA Organ:
Joey de Francesco is an outstanding Jazz musician from the USA. By
the age of 17 he was already playing with Miles Davis. Since 2002
Down Beat magazine has consistently rated him as its Number One
organist. He is one of the mainsprings of the modern jazz organ
renaissance.
The NUMA Organ is a lifelike model of the original tone wheel organ
of Joey de Francesco. For more than two years, the in the 1950ies
built instrument of this exceptional artist was analyzed and can
now be offered to you as a Physical Model.
Joey de Francesco himself took part of the development and design
of the NUMA Organ. His very high demands and know-how in the
field of tone wheel organs are reflected directly in the instrument.
And this is the reason why Joey de Francesco allows Studiologic to
sign each NUMA Organ with his name.
The master mind of the Physical Model of the NUMA Organ
addicted his life to the tone wheel organ too. This expertise and
the possibility to study the original instrument over more than two
years makes the sound of the NUMA Organ the most authentic tone
wheel sound found in the market today.
Whether it’s the hum and buzz of the motor, mechanical crosstalk
of close together tone wheels or the mechanical clicks of switching
contacts, every detail of an original tone wheel organ found its way
into the physical model of the NUMA Organ. The instrument also
offers an excellent Rotary Speaker simulation
You can also connect an external Rotary Speaker cabinet to your
NUMA Organ. Use the buttons of the NUMA Organ to switch the
external Rotary Speaker on and off, and control the rotary speed
with the modulation wheel.
Additionally you can use a separate direct out to play the NUMA
Organ over other amplifiers.
You can extend the keyboard of your NUMA Organ by optional
MIDI keyboards or MIDI pedal boards. Up to three different timbres
are accessible and can be played independently from discrete key-
boards.
The integrated USB ports allow your NUMA Organ to connect to
your computer. Updates of the firmware or of new physical models
will be accessible via USB.
