So what of the factory patches? I'm happy to report that they're awell-constructed and usable bunch, ablend of contemporary dance material and more traditional synth fare. For example, in the Classic Synth category, Iwas impressed by the quality of the leads and strings, especially when you make afew tweaks and reduce the often excessive reverb. Aspin of the Type knob to Bass conjures asquadron of aggressive, hard-edged basses, followed by some pleasingly squelchy examples ripe for filter knob action. It's utakeably adigital synth, but the Mininova is no slouch in the bass department.

Turn the knob to select Vocoder/Vocal Tune and be prepared to experience something new. Not only is this awell-stocked vocoder, primed with typical examples from the outset, but the vocal tuner component is way, way more fun than an evening singing karaoke to Simon Cowell. Automatic tuning effects are often derided, but they don't have to be annoying and clichéd.

Ironically, the one category that didn't move me was labelled Arp/Movement. Like the early episodes of the latest Dr Who series, you get the sense that its patches are trying abit too hard to impress, but I'm confident that there are contexts in which they'll work fine. Incidentally, when you discover apatch you like, it can be stored as one of eight Favorites (sic).

While you explore the supplied sounds, various combinations of the eight rubber pads light up in apleasant blend of purple and magenta。 When any 'Animate' pad is pressed, it switches to asolid blue colour, indicating that an Animation is engaged。mininova Above the pads, asmall Hold button allows you to keep one or more of these Animations active until released。 With all eight buttons in play, you therefore have 255 instant variations to any patch right at your fingertips — if my maths is correct, anyway。mininova
