Your new Numa Organ 2
Thank you very much for choosing the Numa Organ 2. You have obtained a state-of-the-art
instrument made by the renowned manufacturer Studiologic.
Get inspired by the new Numa Organ 2! Its Physical Modelling synthesis is the most authentic
revival of the sound of an electromechanical tone wheel organ. But the Numa Organ 2 is much more. We
recommend you to read the entire manual carefully to take full advantage of all the functions of your new
instrument.
An overview of the features of the Numa Organ 2:
The Numa Organ 2 sound models have been designed to give a
wide variety of sounds, derived from the analysis of the main cha-
racters of some of the most popular organ sounds, allowing to build
combinations using the drawbars and all the available post proces-
sing eects (Vibrato, Chorus, Rotary, Reverb, Drive, Click, Leakage).
The Numa Organ 2 performs as a clone of some Tone Wheel Organs,
and captures some characters of old Acoustic & Electronic-Analo-
gue Organs by keeping the full exibility of using any customized
mixing, editing functions and controls.

These 3 dierent models (selected by the G/A/B keys of the Preset
octave) are referred to 3 dierent kind of original instrument’s levels
and tone balance; the sound was slightly (or noticeable) dierent
not only from one model to another but also considering the year
of construction, the age of the circuitry and some subtle changes
in the analogue components of the original vintage instruments.
Model B is considered the most popular reference, with a very ba-
lanced sound, rich bass and clean treble texture, ideal for Jazz Music
and all kind of applications, where the overall balance is needed.
While the C and A models are theoretically identical, excluding the
building period, age and maintenance status, dierences could be
found also in the instruments and this B model is free of too parti-
cular deviations from the original factory set up and original sound
specications.
