The obvious alternatives to the Mininova come from Korg. Their earlier Microkorg was superseded by the Microkorg XL, which itself was recently updated to the XL+ by the inclusion of extra PCM samples. However, these synths are fairly under-powered compared to the Mininova and other than battery operation and the new vintage samples of the XL, I know which tiny-keyed synth I'd go for. Other alternatives include the Akai MiniAK with its full-sized keys and multitimbrality. It's a powerful synth, but one that is larger and less immediately accessible, and its vocoder isn't so great.
Based on my memories of the Ultranova's editor, Iexpect the Mininova's will make abig difference. We received an early unit, and the editor had not yet been completed, although I'm assured that it will operate in exactly the same way as its predecessor. This means that the labyrinthine synth engine will be revealed to our eager eyes (and mouse), and it'll be far easier to program the modulation matrix and populate the Animate buttons and the eight Tweak parameters than it is purely from hardware. As before, the editor is planned to slip effortlessly into your DAW like aconventional plug-in. With patch selection and synchronisation duly taken care of, all you'll need to do is treat the Mininova like any other hardware synth, and record its output into your DAW.
