Editing is handled by the Easy Control System with a backlit
LCD display and touch-sensitive pads. Play Mode gives you
direct access to the most important parameters - perfect for
quick changes on stage.
Edit Mode oers more detailed changes to all parameters
that can be saved in 65 patches (presets).
What‘s really unique about the NUMA is the so called You-
Play Mode, which allows you to create your own velocity
curves and save them to 15 presets. These customized
curves are available to every patch then.
Due to the integrated USB connection, the NUMA can com-
municate with a computer. It oers two modes of operation:
With USB MIDI the NUMA is recognized as a„USB-Audio-
Device“ by the computer. More interesting is the USB Virtual
Com mode, enabling the computer to edit and store presets.
Even an update of the NUMA operating system is possible.

Using the pads 5 6 (Image 3a) or the Virtual Dial ¢
(Image 3b) you can select single Patches. The sequence is in
numerical order, Factory-Patches (F01 up to F05) are followed
by User-Patches (001 up to 064). Only already used patches
are displayed. This prevents you from searching through not
used patches.
Note: Patches are immediately active, no need for an extra
conrmation!
Factory-Patches cannot be erased.
Zones On/O
Control Keys u-xcan be used for direct access to Zone On/

Patch Name
This page (Image 28) is for renaming patches. Select the letter
in the patch name you want to change with the Function
Keys v and w
. Then choose a New letter with the Virtual

from -64 up to +64.
The Dial Sensitivity (1-10) is for the sensitivity of the Virtual
Dial ¢ . Parameter Dial Velocity (1-20) controls the speed of
the Virtual Dial ¢ .
ATTENTION: Touching pad Reset u brings the whole system
back to factory start. All your settings and patches are
erased - irrevocably!!
Touching PC starts a USB connection between the NUMA
keyboard and a computer. There are two dierent modes:
USB Connection - Midi (Image 30)
Transferring MIDI Data from the PC to the MIDI port of
the NUMA
USB Connection - VCom (Image 31)
This enables a communication between NUMA and PC
with the software„Interactive NUMA“. Possibilities range
from backup/restore to editing patches and shapes in
realtime.
PC Monitor and Keyboard can be used instead of the
NUMA display and capacitive keys.
Restore w enables a restart under factory condition without
erasing user patches and shapes (Image 29).
Touching Store x saves all your system changes to memory,
including the patch that comes up when you turn the NUMA
on. This is the patch you started the Edit Mode from (Image 29).
