An 88-note professional keyboard with wooden keys, 16 MIDI channels, a touch-sensitive control panel, and preset or customizable curves.

The 88-key Studiologic Numa Nero MIDI Keyboard instantly impresses with its style, grace, quality materials, and workmanship. With inspiring pianistic action in a digital audio controller, the innovative Numa Nero's touch-sensitive control panel redefines both control and flexibility. The included Studiologic You Play system helps you to design and save user-specific dynamic curves in addition to 3 supplied preset curves, all on a touch-sensitive pad.

The case: Studiologic houses the Numa Nero MIDI keyboard in a piano-style, 1-piece, black painted, plastic molded case-lid top coupled to a robust slide-out aluminum back. The back serves as a support surface for another smaller keyboard or for your laptop.

The Keyboard: The Studiologic Numa Nero's keybed is a Fatar-manufactured TP40WOOD GH mechanism. The action features wood embedded keys like a concert grand piano. The double dipped, full-body solid black keys have a pleasing tactile surface. The 88-note, graded hammer action—heavier in the lower end of the keyboard to progressively lighter at the upper end—perfectly balances response and momentum for inspiringly pianistic action uncommon in an electronic keyboard.

You Play: The Numa Nero's You Play feature gives you complete control of the MIDI keyboard's velocity response. Black and white keys can be assigned separately for total control. After enabling this feature, the Numa Nero keyboard guides you to set up the best dynamic touch for your Studiologic advanced, customizable velocity response system.
