NUMA Player (free) / Review and Demo
Well, bottom line is Studiologic has done quite a nice thing for the iOS community. IMHO.
Pros:
FREE
Very good Model D piano
String Resonance
Layering is super easy
Good effects and control parameters
Volume control on right of instrument block
Cons
Slight latency
Lacks a bit of immediacy
Onboard keyboard not adjustable, hence useless
Other instruments… just so so (strings sub par
But. For a free piano, the Model D has a lot to recommend it. Firstly the bass region is particularly good and has a lot of clarity, I think. Complex left hand chords are pretty articulated sound wise. The string resonance is good and the mechanical sounds are adjustable. I also like the clarity in the rest of the keyboard regions
If you look at this as a sound library… well, you can’t complain as it’s free. If you think of it as the equivalent of a free piano app that should cost $15, then it’s a wonderful gift and thank you, Studiologic. (I wonder if it does some more with their Numa keyboards?)
Here are demos of the 2 onboard grands:

Thanks !
Some sounds in particular are very good : “The Upright” piano, “StringsSection”, “Celesta”.
The Italian accordions also are welcome.
Also, it’s worth noticing that all pianos benefit from the string resonance, which was a feature only belonged by Ravenscroft 275 until now.
I agree, I’ve been having a ton of fun with this app so far and it does sound very good. For all other sounds (organs, e-pianos, etc) it won’t be my go-to, but being able to layer them means I’ll still get some use out of them. Like you said, the piano sounds fantastic. Granted I don’t have R275 or Pure Piano yet, but I think it’s maybe the best sounding piano I have. Even over Module, Taqsim, and Keys of the 70s.
I think your review is spot on, @LinearLineman. And thanks for providing the piano samples to listen. I’m very glad to get this app too, especially the model d piano. Many thanks to the developers for this gift!
Sounds really nice, what a gift!
There’s a way to boost volume if you go inside the instrument you are using, the panels on left click on instrument and some parameters pop up, one is volume. I think that’s how I did it…
@Poppadocrock, close but not quite… there’s an adjustable vertical slider to the left of each instrument section. Defaulted volume at 50%. That helps, I think.
Now if one could enlarge the keyboard for those who play on the glass.
It does connect to Virtual (or hardware) MIDI ports, in the main hamburger menu. I was able to play it stand-alone from the excellent Music Studio screen keyboard. And of course you can load it as AUv3 and route any keyboard in that environment. I suspect the screen keyboard is derived from those on computer screens, playable with a mouse, but not really much use. Remember this is a multi-platform app, not just for iPad.

Tonight I gave the Numa Player a shot. The gig went off without a hitch.

What device is the iPad connected to? I don't recognize the connector type:

Concert, church, wedding?

Numa Player supports these devices:

Maybe a MS Windows Surface Tablet?

That's Baseus USB-C Hub

I like it's feel of click when I connect it to iPad. In my case, 'till now, only 2 Baseus hubs never disconnected. The rest (Kingston, Unitec, Apple) lie tucked away deep in the corner of drawer.

Believe it or not, it was a regular jazz concert at the end of one evening of a very scientific, annual event called the "School of Underground Minning". That's the nice tradition they have. I performed to them more than 10 times in the last 20 years.
Sure not.

If MS Windows Surface Tablet supports WIN 10, why not try this free player. It works on cheapo stuff like HP X2 210 G2. No idea about drivers, latency, etc.
