As an auxiliary audio out, you can use this plug to connect the instrument to a subwoofer or an additional amplification system, while the L/R outputs are still available for recording or other audio connections.
Panel - Display and navigation Panel - Display and navigation Edit / Store Display Monochrome display MIDI / Sound / DEMO Lover - Upper Parts/Zones selection Encoder Rotation + click SPLIT / Mix The main HOME display of the Numa Compact is the one shown at power on and it’s divided in 3 main areas: the top area shows the current Program number and name, the left and right lower areas are related to the Lower and Upper Sound sections, in SOUND mode, and to the Zone A and Zone B sections, in MIDI Mode.
Panel - Display and navigation Demo The SOUND button can also be pressed for a longer time, to enable the eight DEMO songs (one for each sound BANK) to start playing in sequence; clicking on a SOUND BANK you can also select the related demo; at the end of it, the next demo song will start for the other BANKS, in a continuous cycling loop.
Sound banks and sound section Sound banks and sound section SOUND BANKS Sound selection Sound mode In SOUND mode, with the related button selected and lighted, the 8 Sound banks can select the internal sounds, organized according to the Sound Bank names. Each Bank can have a variable number of sounds, organized in pages of 4 sounds for each one.
Organ Mode Numa Compact 2x Introduction In an original tone wheel organ, 91 steel wheels with lobes rotate in front of a pick-up consisting of a permanent bar magnet and a spool. Because of the tone wheels shape, the magnetic field in the pick-up changes periodically and generates a sine wave. With 8 different tone wheel shapes and 12 different gear trains 91 sine frequencies are generated. As in additive synthesis, the 91 frequencies are the base for creating different sound timbres.
Organ Model Numa Compact 2x Drawbars Drawbars are a characteristic trait of a tone wheel organ, therefore we’ll explore them first; a Tonewheel Organ sound can be made of nine sine frequencies and each drawbar represents a harmonic of the scale related to the 8‘ stop of a pipe organ (drawbar 3) which is also called “native pitch“. Drawbar 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 correspond to Feet 16‘ 5 1/3‘ 8‘ 4‘ 2 2/3‘ 2‘ 1 3/5‘ 1 1/3‘ 1‘.
Organ Model Numa Compact 2x Typical Drawbars settings There are thousands of possible examples of Drawbars settings, made famous by organists during decades of live and recorded Organ music, and you can find below some of the most popular jazz, pop, gospel and rock settings. The use of a Percussion or the addition of a Chorus or Vibrato effects can be added to your taste and you can find other examples in the NC2x Factory Programs, that you can also keep or modify to your taste.
Organ Model Numa Compact 2x Original Drawbars settings In the Vintage Tonewheel Organs , mainly in the Consolle versions (2x61 notes keyboard) the last octave on the left was made with reverse colors, since those keys were dedicated to the selection of factory presets, in addition to them selection of the 2 live Drawbars groups available for each keyboard (named Swell and Great as in the Pipe Organs.
Organ Model Numa Compact 2x Chorus and Vibrato The original vintage Tone Wheel instruments (not all the models) had a special and very complex circuit called Scanner Vibrato to add to the sound a very nice simulated frequency and phase modulation, that became another typical effect of these instruments. This particular post-processing is also part of the NC2x Organ Model and with the dedicated buttons you can choose from 2 Vibrato or 2 Chorus effect settings and assign them to one or both parts.
Synth Engine Numa Compact 2x The Numa Compact 2x Synth Sound Bank is bases on a simplified Synthesis engine, with the following features: Waveforms The selection if various Waveform is made by selecting one of the Sounds of the Synth Bank; the various waveforms shape is shown on the display when the Sound is selected and can vary from the standard Sawtooth and Square Waves, to the Pulse with Modulation (a Pulse waveform with a modulated with by a low frequency modulator) and FM or complex Synthesis wavef
Synth Engine Numa Compact 2x PLEASE NOTE: If set at values too close to the maximum, the Resonance could create a signal level gain and consequent distortion possible problems of the overall sound; with hi levels of Resonance, the part Volume (Upper or Lower) should be reduced proportionally, to avoid clippings or unwanted side-effects.
Synth Engine Numa Compact 2x The last two sliders are controlling the ATTACK and DECAY of the AMPLIFIER and they do not change the FILTER parameters, that have separate A/D/R controls; they are able to create Slow attacks and Long release effects, without any change on the FILTER settings.
Effects Effects FX1 FX2 REVERB FX1 - FX2 The 2 double effects processors allow to assign 2 separate effects to the Lower and Upper sections, for a total of 4 different effects at once. As an example, the FX1 can be set to Drive for the Upper section and, at the same time, to Chorus for the Lower section. Using the Upper/Lower button, you can toggle between the related parts and show or select the effect for that part.
Effects FX Autoset The FX Autoset function (a real-time function also explained in the GLOBAL Edit section) automatically memorizes the last selected FX 1-2 for each Sound, without the need of storing a dedicated Program. This real-time function will also control the association between the Stick2 and the Sound or FX controls (modulation or effect speed etc) in a logic and automatic way.
Global edit Global edit To enable the GLOBAL edit, keep pressed the EDIT button for a few seconds; you will find various pages (shown on the top right area of the display) with functions that will affect the instrument, regardless what Program is selected. To escape from the function, press again the EDIT button and all settings will be memorized automatically.
Global edit PEDAL 2 While the PED1 is always suitable for expression-volume pedals, the PED2 can be programmed to connect almost all possible pedals, as it follows: • • • • FX AUTOSET SINGLE SWITCH normally open; SINGLE SWITCH normally closed; EXPRESSION (volume function, pedals with potentiometer and stereo plug); SLP3-D – Triple pedal with Soft/Sostenuto/Sustain function with half-damper control.
Global edit LOCAL CONTROL This command is also received via MIDI and it is automatically deactivated the next time the instrument is turned on; in LOCAL OFF the keyboard does not send the notes played on the keyboard directly to the internal Sounds, but only via USB-MIDI to avoid unwanted repetitions when using external Software Programs which receive the notes from the keyboard and send them back to the generation.

Part edit Part edit If the focus is on one of the parts and you are in SOUND mode (with the SOUND button selected and lighted) you will enter in the PART edit mode.

To control the Stick 2 assignment manually, you can set to OFF the FX-AUTOSET and the function can be switched ON or OFF and stored in the Programs.
MIDI (Zone edit) MIDI The Numa Compact 2/2x has a complete MIDI Implementation, that includes 2 separate software MIDI Ports, that you can see connecting the instrument with the USB Cable to your computer, named KEYBOARD and CONTROLLER ports (PORT 2 and PORT 2).
MIDI (Zone edit) As esplained this double KEYBOARD/CONTROLLER PORT structure is meant to be used when a MIDI-USB connection is made with a Computer. As explained in the GLOBAL EDIT parameters, the COMMON Midi channel allows to send all incoming MIDI data (notes etc) to the main instrument’s section, allowing to change the main PROGRAMS and play the instrument’s UPPER and LOWER parts as you would play on the local keyboard (with Split or Layers, the related key range etc).
MIDI (Zone edit) VOLUME ZONE EDIT [5/16] VOLUME VOLUME 64 64 SPLIT ASSIGN ZONE EDIT [6/16] SPLIT ASSIGN SPLIT ASSIGN TO LEFT TO RIGHT Rotating the encoder, after having moved the focus on the parameter by clicking on it, you can control the selected part Volume, in a range from 0 to 127; the Zone volumes can be controlled directly also not in EDIT mode, when the MIDI button is lighted and the cursor-focus is on one of the Zones.
MIDI (Zone edit) AFTERTOUCH ZONE EDIT [13/16] A.TOUCH A.TOUCH ON ON This parameter enables or disables the aftertouch function on the selected Zone; the function of the Aftertouch will be in most cases similar-same of the Stick 2 modulation control, adding some kind of vibrato or similar modulation to the sound, according to the setting.
