Description
Don’t judge the MiniNova by its footprint. Underneath those 37 mini keys sits the same UltraNova-derived sound engine found in Novation’s flagship gear, delivering up to 18-voice polyphony, layered filters, and effects that punch well above what you’d expect from a synth this size. From gritty basslines to shimmering pads and warped leads, five real-time knobs plus eight backlit Animate buttons let you sculpt sound live without digging through menus.
- 256 factory patches covering bass, lead, pad, and genre-tagged sounds, plus 128 slots for your own
- Built-in VocalTune vocoder — sing or talk into the mic and have your voice locked to the notes you play
- Run vocals or any instrument through the effects chain: reverb, distortion, chorus/phaser, gator compression, EQ
- Switchable Animate and Arpeggiator modes for hands-on performance and step editing
- Includes MiniNova Editor software for visual patch editing and a librarian for storing extra sounds on your computer
- Free downloadable soundpacks from Novation and guest sound designers
Under the hood: 14 conventional waveforms, 36 wavetables, 20 digital waveforms, a 12-band vocoder, 14 filter types (2 simultaneous), 6 envelope generators, 3 LFOs, 20 modulation slots, and up to 5 simultaneous effects per patch. Connectivity covers XLR mic input, 1/4″ audio in/out, headphone out, sustain pedal jack, MIDI in/out, and USB (which also powers the unit) — so it slots into a compact setup or drives larger MIDI gear with ease.
Compact, deep, and built for people who need serious sound design without giving up desk space.
