Product Overview

Massive Sound, Compact Footprint

The MiniNova redefines what a micro-synth can do. By cramming a flagship synth engine into a portable, lightweight chassis, Novation provides electronic musicians, producers, and gigging keyboardists with premium synthesis tools without the bulk. Whether you need thick analog-style basslines, soaring lead synths, or cutting-edge vocal processing, this compact instrument delivers expansive sound-shaping features on demand.

Product Description

Flagship UltraNova Sound Engine:

Don't let its size fool you; the MiniNova runs the exact same sound engine as its larger sibling, the UltraNova. It features three oscillators, up to five effects running simultaneously, two filters, six envelopes, and three LFOs. This gives you the horsepower to create incredibly complex, evolving patches. It comes pre-loaded with 256 stellar factory sounds across genres like hip-hop, EDM, house, and techno, with space to store another 128 of your own custom creations.

Expressive Vocalist and Synth-Performance Controls:

The MiniNova features an integrated Vocalist processor and comes complete with a gooseneck microphone. This unlocks an advanced 12-band Vocoder and unique VocalTune effects, allowing you to create classic robotic vocals or modern pitch-corrected sounds instantly. For live expression, the keyboard features 8 unique 'Animate' pads that let you trigger filter sweeps, matrix modulations, and rhythmic changes on the fly with a single touch.

Easy Editing and Software Companion:

Navigating and tweaking deep synthesizer parameters is made simple through the hardware's dedicated large parameter knob and matrix editing section. For producers who prefer working in a digital environment, the MiniNova includes the MiniNova Editor software plugin, giving you full visual control over your entire synth engine directly within your DAW. It also features a dedicated Patch Librarian to easily download, organize, and manage free soundpacks from Novation artists.
