Novation MiniNova

CurrentReleased 2012

A compact 37-key virtual analogue synth using the UltraNova engine, with up to 18 voices and a vocoder with included gooseneck microphone. Five effects per voice and eight Animate buttons make it a performance instrument more than a deep editing tool. It suits gigging keyboard players and beginners who want lots of sounds and a vocoder in something that runs on USB power.
