Studiologic Numa X Piano GT SE Review: Wooden Keys With Aftertouch
The Numa X Piano GT SE is Studiologic's flagship stage piano: a wooden hammer-action keybed with aftertouch from Fatar, a multi-engine sound system for acoustic piano, electric piano and synth, flexible split and layer control and an integrated USB audio interface. This review covers what the listing confirms, what wooden keys with aftertouch mean on stage, and how it compares with the Yamaha CP88 and Kawai MP11SE.
Our Verdict
Research Score 88/100The Studiologic Numa X Piano GT SE is the stage piano to buy if you want a wooden hammer action with aftertouch, which no mainstream rival offers, from the company that builds the keys. The multi-engine sounds and the USB audio interface make it a complete stage and studio instrument. It weighs 63 pounds, the listing does not publish polyphony or speakers, and the Yamaha CP88 and Kawai MP11SE are the wooden-key stage pianos with wider support.

The Flagship Numa X
The listing confirms the GT SE's 88-key wooden hammer-action keybed with aftertouch, a multi-engine sound system combining acoustic piano, electric piano and synth engines, flexible split and layer functionality with intuitive real-time controls, an integrated USB audio interface for recording and performance, and a sleek, durable design with effects and sound shaping. It gives 63 pounds and does not publish the voice count, polyphony, speakers or Bluetooth.
Wooden Keys With Aftertouch
Fatar's wooden hammer action gives the GT SE full-length wooden keys with the mass and return of an acoustic, and the GT SE adds aftertouch, pressure sensing after the key bottoms out, which is unusual on a hammer action and lets a player modulate synth and electric piano sounds without a wheel. Against the Yamaha CP88's NW-GH3 and the Kawai MP11SE's Grand Feel, the Fatar action is comparable in authenticity and unique in its aftertouch.
Multi-Engine Sounds
The acoustic piano engine draws on sampling, the electric piano engine on physical modeling, and the synth engine on wave shaping, with the Numa X's four-zone interface and color-adaptive encoders for layering and splitting. Effects and sound shaping are onboard. The voice count and polyphony are not stated on the listing.
Connectivity
The integrated USB audio interface records the GT SE and routes computer audio through its outputs, which simplifies a laptop rig on stage. Balanced outputs, a headphone jack, 5-pin MIDI and pedal inputs complete the panel. Speakers and Bluetooth are not stated on the listing.
Build and Transport
At 63 pounds the GT SE is among the heaviest stage pianos, a consequence of the wooden keybed, and it needs a flight case and a sturdy stand. It is an instrument for a player with a van.
On Stage and in the Studio
On stage the GT SE's four zones, color display and aftertouch give a pianist and keyboard player expressive control without reaching for wheels. In the studio the USB audio interface records it directly and plays back a DAW through its outputs. It is a professional instrument designed around the keybed.
GT SE Against the Alternatives
Against the Yamaha CP88, the Yamaha is lighter with XLR outputs and a no-menu panel; the Studiologic adds aftertouch and the USB audio interface. Against the Kawai MP11SE, the Kawai has Kawai's grands and three pedals included; the Studiologic has aftertouch and the modern interface. Against the Numa X Piano GT, the GT uses the TP/110 action without wood or aftertouch at a lower price and weight.
Buy the GT SE for wooden keys with aftertouch from the keybed maker.
Setup and Accessories
The GT SE ships with a music rest and power supply; pedals, a stand and a flight case are additions, and its 63 pounds demand a heavy-duty stand. The integrated USB audio interface means a laptop rig needs only a USB cable, which removes one box from a stage setup. Monitors or headphones are essential at home.
Who Should Buy the GT SE
Stage pianists who want wooden keys with aftertouch, players who run a laptop rig and value the integrated audio interface, and anyone who prefers Fatar's own instrument to the brands it builds for. Players who count weight, need wide dealer support or want three pedals included should look at the Yamaha CP88 or Kawai MP11SE.
Who Keeps It
Stage pianists who value the keybed and the aftertouch keep the GT SE for years. The smaller dealer network and the weight are the practical considerations.
