Description
Description
The MiniNova is a compact, powerful 37-key synthesizer built around Novation’s UltraNova sound engine. It delivers rich, layered sounds — from fat basses to soaring leads and lush pads. Despite its small size, it packs up to 18-voice polyphony, a built-in 12-band vocoder with a microphone, and deep real-time control via "Animate" buttons. Its five-effects-per-voice architecture lets you shape sounds in a major way, and the keyboard can be powered via USB, making it very portable.
