Novation go back to their portable synth roots with a compact gem that reworks the Ultranova synth engine and adds a few extras...

Not only was Novation's previous synth, the Ultranova, apowerful stand-alone instrument, it also fitted comfortably into aDAW setup, thanks to its editor plug-in. Like astudio Swiss Army Knife, the Ultranova could be your USB audio intece and Automap-equipped controller too. If it had any shortcomings, they were itslack of multitimbrality and perhaps its size. Despite being just three octaves long, the Ultranova occupied asizeable chunk of desktop real-estate.

Realising that some of us don't need another audio intece or MIDI controller, and that more studio space and cash are always welcome, Novation have pruned and trimmed. The result is the new, far-smaller-than-ultra-Nova, or Mininova. Scaled down as it is, the Mininova still manages to retain the Ultranova's synthesis goodies. It even introduces one of its own, abuilt-in vocal tuner that's not amillion miles from Antares. So, with apologies for the ongoing abuse of astronomical terms, let's see if this little nova is also astar...

It's difficult not to mouth the word 'Microkorg' as you extract the Mininova from its convenient carry-box, but Idoubt the physical similarity will lead to any long-term trauma. Novation's light plastic synth feelsmore substantial than afirst glance would suggest, and its knobs are particularly good for abudget instrument, especially the large one dedicated to filter cutoff frequency.
