I'm sorry about my off top massage and my language. English isn't my native language.
I have not guarantee from a shop where I bought Numa. Can I fix this problem by myself?

Someone demounted the Studiologic Numa White for cleaning, fixing some problems, etc ?...

Да там всё просто. Отвинчиваешь снизу по периметру все мелкие саморезы (большие не трогать), переворачиваешь снова на ножки и аккуратно приподнимаешь верх. Отключаешь провода, идущие на плату управления и дисплей. После чего полностью снимаешь крышку. Клавиши независимы друг от друга и снимаются в произвольном порядке (у основания клавиши нажми на прищепку).
На днях разбирал свою Nero. Заодно заизолировал разъёмы, идущие на сенсоры aftertouch.

I have Studiologic Numa White. I have problem with one black key on the keyboard. Аfter a time (about 3 month) the black key began make noise. It's look like click of computer mouse. Just noise, nothing more... but this noise make me angry

I need your help.. Thank you!

A departure from the linear curve

See what you think

Regards,

Chris

Velocity = [7, 127; 0, 127]

Should you want silence use this one

Velocity = [8, 127; 0, 127]

Both are for use with the PnoTeq1.RES file three posts back

I will see if I can find a .RES file editor on the internet and if so, post info.

Kind Regards,

Chris

Velocity = [6, 127; 0, 127]

I am still working on finding the best dynamics # for use with this, but it is close to the presets original dynamics #'s

I will post a demo in few minutes

above is a link to a ResorcesBackup file containing Patch named 'PnoTeq1' which itself contains a markedly modified 'You Play' velocity curve entitled 'nero'.

A demo (PnoTeq1.mp3) of this curve played using .fxp of same name may be found in the files area.

I must stress, not only to Smar and Matt L, but to all who use Modartt's PianoTeq, the absolute importance of not only honing your own velocity curve with PianoTeq to enable a faithful playing/playback experience, but to use the touch/velocity curve settings on your PianoTeq triggering instrument (usually keyboard eh folks?!) that will not reach 127;127 to easily. This will in most case be the 'hard touch' setting as most of you guys will appreciate.

QUOTE FOR THE DAY... "An inferior curve makes PianoTeq sound, well er, inferior!"

I know I 'harp' on (sorry for the pun, but I didn't try to resist!) about velocity curves, but to absolutely blunt, this makes or breaks PianoTeq and as far as I can see, it is also the most important thing to get right (for that very reason).

If you can hone not only the PianoTeq velocity curve, but also edit the velocity curve within your particular keyboard, this would be most beneficial. As currently owning the Nero, I have the ability to create internal curves using 'YouPlay' (Nero's computerised curve creation system). However, this is not an exact science. Fatar aim to bring out software for editing these curves via PC etc., but this, as far as I know, has not materialised yet.

Anyway, if you own a Nero, by all means load up the .RES file if you wish (Instructions in previous post [above]). For a good starting point, play this through the .fxp also entitled PnoTeq1.

opinions please,

regards,

Chris

Create a folder on your desktop and call it

ResourcesBackup

Then put the .RES file in it

Then open the NumaOnLine software

The .RES file should now show up in the bottom white section entitled 'On PC Resources'

Then simply make sure your Nero and PC are connected and talking to one another
via VCom and in the NumaOnLine software, click 'restore resources' at the bottom section on the left. This will load the file onto your Nero.

All that's left to do then is to switch off your Nero, and then switch it on again.

Done

Hope this helps.

Smar, I don't know whether or not you got my request, but I have since worked out how to do it as you can see above.

Forgive me if I inconvenienced you.

Regards to you both,

Chris

...I've just loaded your settings into my Numa...

Smar, if you could let Matt L know how you loaded my .RES file onto the Nero
I'd be very grateful. I don't know how either!

Thank you

Chris

Thanks very much for getting back to me so quickly. I have downloaded your .RES file but can not see how I can install this into the Nero. I have the NumaOnLine program installed and have updated to the 1.7OS.

Many thanks for your help,

Matt

Here's the dynamic range demo I mentioned;

First, congratulations on your new Numa Nero. Setting up your controller to your ultimate liking is crucial in enjoying the wonderful touch and expressivety of the Nero. I will do what I can in assisting you to achieve this.

Now regards the minimum velocity of 12 for white keys - slightly less for black, although I don't remember off hand the exaxct figure - I use a this velocity curve in pianoteq to compensate

Velocity = [14, 127; 3, 127]

(you can Copy and Paste into Velocity UI)

There may not be a way to adjust the minimum velocity produced by the Nero, at least I do not know of one. I believe there is free software available that will convert the velocities produced by the Nero to whatever you wish, I will have to check that out (I think there may already have been mention of these on the pianoteq forum somewhere?).

I would strongly suggest using the patch that I created suing the 'You Play' feature of the Nero. With the velocity curve it contains, I am able to get an exceptional dynamic range. I  set pianoteq's Dynamics to 62. It is very expressive. I'll post a demo shortly exhibiting this.
Visit http://www.studiologic-music.com/ and download support software for your Nero if you haven't already and you will be able to load the following from your PC to your Nero

http://www.filehosting.org/file/details...ckup_1.RES

This will mean that our velocity curves will match and therefore enable us to better achieve a uniform result.

Please feel free to ask any further questions. I am happy to be of help if I can,

warm regards,

Chris

I too have just received a Numa Nero, but I'm finding it difficult to produce realistic velocities. I am new to controller pianos but am quite surprised that the Nero produces a velocity of 12 (with medium response setting) no matter how softly I press a key. I would have expected no sound at all while pressing a key very slowly, much like a real piano. Now I understand pianoteq can compensate for this as you have shown by increasing the velocity cut-off, but will I not still have this problem when using other programs? Do either of you know if I can adjust the velocity within Nero so 0 message is output for very low velocities? I have tried to use the "you play" feature but I do not understand how this could work. If I play soft passages it seems to just assume I have weak fingers and increases the sensitivity dramatically! If I play harder it just sends it the other way.

Many thanks,

Matt

I'm pleased you managed to load the patch. Now you also have the same operating system loaded onto your Nero as mine has.

Now, here's a demo of the latest .fxp revision  (C3 Close Mic for SMAR 28-04-2011.fxp)

http://www.forum-pianoteq.com/uploads.p...4-2011.mp3

This has a straight (linear) curve rather than a 'mountain' type. I was getting to many irregular velocities (due to my playing, not the Nero) with the 'mountain type curve, and have found these to be smoothed out using a linear curve.

The adjustments to the Default C3 Close Mic Preset are as follows;

Volume -3 (adjust to taste)

Dynamics 59

Velocity = [14, 127; 3, 127]
(as you prefer silence at the ppp end, adjust accordingly. However, in doing so, you may wish to also adjust the dynamics slightly)

Volume Compensation  enabled

Delay Compensation     enabled

Reverb Preset               Concert Audience

I also want to mention the fact that I really think the Play Mode most faithful to a real piano is the Staccato Play Mode. I didn't use this on the demo, but in future demos I shall. I think we should use identicle settings on each Nero for uniformity purposes.
NOTE: the patch I gave the link to uses 'Dynamic play mode' rather than 'Staccato Play Mode'. Let me know which one you like the most if you will.

Kind Regards,

Chris
