Subject: [CWSG] Numa - Final Verdict

Well, after a weekend with two gigs and some serious time spent in the basement,
I decided to return the Numa and stick with my Electro 3 / Ventilator
combination for the time being. That is not to say that the Numa isn't a
fantastic instrument - it is. What my decision came down to was whether or not
it was a $2,000 leap forward in sound and playability from what I currently
have. I just don't think so, at least for me.

All weekend, I wasn't able to get a combo of the Numa and the Vent that I liked.
In fact, on the gig Saturday, I mostly used the internal sim which acquitted
itself very nicely in a live situation. However, my main issue was that I just
couldn't get that nice, compressed top octave burn that I get from the Nord and
Vent. In the lower ranges, the Numa is incredible. I like the action of the Numa
better than that of the E3 even after I had the action of the E3 changed. The
Numa plays great. I was reminded that I do miss physical drawbars and presets.
However, I have decided to play the hand I already had for a while. I have
recently tweaked the E3 to sound even better than I had it sounding, so I am
going to stick with that for a while.

Believe me...if I still had my XK-3, I would drop it for the Numa in a
heartbeat. To my ears, the Numa is a big leap forward from that. It just wasn't
$2k forward from the Electro.

Mitch
