Novation MiniNova Synthesizer Demonstration 

I love the look of this, this is defo on my christmas wish list ;)

yes, it has midi in and out. You can totally use any midi controllr with this,you could use even an mpc or fader controller, and of course, a bigger midi keyboard

It may seem that way but in fact they are already moving quite briskly out of the warehouses. I ordered mine two days ago and it is already sold out where I purchased it and I have seen it on many wish lists for this Christmas already. All in all things are not always what they seem.

Would you recommend this as a first buy?

It is a hardware synth, the sounds it outputs are from its engine, its not a VST it would be compatible with FL And it can be used an a midi output Hope this helps :)

The performance controller/midi full size keys are your friend and then you have full size keys . I am going to be using my Korg M50 with my mininova when it arrives on thursday.

I hope one day USB midi will work instrument to instrument instead of connecting to a computer

this is good ,well worth the price !

A shortcoming of the UltraNova is its limited display. To improve the quantity of information instantly available to a user requires either designing an expensive subsystem and using a large display, or a simple design with the genre type and a table with performance and editing control. What I do not like about the MiniNova is its small keys as on the miniKorg. The mini keys were the reason I sold my miniKorg, and they are the reason I am not in a rush to buy the MiniNova.

Remember kids, be sure to mic ALL your hosts.

If you you guys make a Reason Rack Extension to accompany this synthesizer as well as the software editor you are already making I am buying this synth immediately! Please consider it!

i really like this little synth, sick and tired of fake and timewasting pc software, hardware is the way to go!

Hi DV247 TV, I bought the MiniNova, and i'm very happy with it! But i have a question! If i use Ableton , i have a VST-plugin made for the MiniNova! Very good, but can i use the sounds that are on the MiniNova IN Ableton? Because i don't see how, please let me know something! :D thanks!

I think the idea of being able to access certain sounds a little easier is pretty clever and a lot of companies do it.. but the giant knob is pretty ridiculous, hahaha.

Why are certain sounds called "pads".....?

theres a bigger version called the ultranova with bigger keys and a better layout. The mininova is just a smaller and cheaper version.

yes that was the whole reason midi was invented

yea true! wonder if this ketboard has some sort of quantising, and bpm control?

what deos the vst version look like becuase i bought this but i can only see the novation bass synth in my daw iv installed and dwnloaded the drives and installers but only can see the bass ataion synth in my vst list witch i already had

after watching this video I was inspired to make a film called "jason statham vs wallace and gromit" I funded it with the money saved by the guys here not shaving.

If you want multi timbral take a look at the akai miniak

why i have glitches sync issue and latency when i use the vst for the mininova?

Can you get a good electric piano sound out of it?

What I'd like to know and no one has been able to tell me is where do I get this mysterious software editor?? I went to Novation website and the only thing I was able to download was a MiniNova Librarian. So... Does anybody know where is this so called mininova software editor? Thanks

On a initial patch when j want to put an a LFO1 on the OSC1 there is not change.Which steps to do?

Again with the no tap-tempo. I thought this was supposed to be a performance synth?

I currently have a microkorg and using this for live performance. Is the mini nova worth the buy or should i just stick to the micro korg thanks please get back to me! paydays in 2!

Wie auf dieser Seite d2xhy469pqj8rc.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/novation/downloads/4635/mininova-userguidede.pdf beschrieben, habe ich mininova Librarian installiert. Es kommt kein Ton. Ich benutze also kein Midigerät, sondern nur unsren neuen Laptop mit Windows 10. Angeschlossen oder verbunden ist der Mininova als nur mit dem Laptop und der Steckdose. ob vielleicht der Realtek-HD-Audio-Manager falsch eingestellt ist? Soll hinten am Gerät exit-DC oder USB eingestellt sein? Was habe ich bis jetzt nicht beachtet?

I want to use this in studio as a synth/controller. How can i do that?

Yes!

it's a music instrument that's fun to play as a toy (y) nuff said

Im totally new to synthesizers, and am thinking of buying this. I noticed there's two jack imputes on the back. could you use a single jack straight from the synth into an amp ?

Is it good to be combined with RD2000? thanks

Pretty sure Muse's Morgan Nicholls uses this live

bass station is the best anologe synth ever made. i used to play it live on stage. just a shame it was made out of cheap plastic. didnt take long to get wear and tear

How good is this synth for the creation of PSYTRANCE?

Will this be good for Pink Floyd-style music?

that way one cable will do both in and out

Whats the difference between this and microkorg asides the increased polyphony? I

The MiniNova has Glide/portatone ? Thank you.

Yes, there is

have you used one? do you know how to use one?

Hi, can I easily use this as a MDI-Keyboard via USB (to play VSTis/PlugIns that are on my PC)?? Thanks

I like it---yep

Do you have to have a computer to mess around with this thing or can you still do most of that without one?

Is this an actual standalone synth or does it need to go through a computer and DAW to hear sound or has it got external speakers???

Does the MiniNova has the same patches as the UltraNova? I am particularly interested in the natural patches. Thanks.

Sorry, meant Channel, obvoiusly.

On many synths you have to model the oscillation to make a kick snare or other hits

4:08, i thought they were talking about one of there workers

Is it monophonic?

I don't think this sounds as good or is built as well as the original NOVA series. And they are not multi-timbral either.

When did these companies forget these were supposed to be building musical instruments, not toys?

I want to get this thing but I don't know what program I can use with it. Does FL Studio work?

just brought the nord rack 2 i want to use it on the mininova. Is that possible/

The fact that so many people buy the instrument should not bother anyone then. lol.

I know this was made 7 years ago but having genres is beyond cheesy.....it’s actually annoying. some of these are already laughably outdated. Is “dubstep “ really a classic genre? 🤓 That being said though, I feel that Novation makes excellent products.

Can this do 80s warm, deep, sweeping sounds like the old Yamaha DX7?

There is a Huge error.. I love the synth BUT when you start it upp i begins at A000 there shoude be a switch that put you right to the bank you want Not genres I want a button that takes me right to the user patches

I totally agree with you, but pressing play on ableton is free, as getting these really cool and powerfull synths is really expensive, especially for beginners and non professional :/ Still the best for sure :)

3 mins to get to the sound...

Novation Mininova or MicroKorg MK1? Can't decide

If you're just pressing play in ableton then you're doing it wrong and/or don't know how to use it.

its nothing like the microkorg

7:43 I'm begging everyone to NOT USE THAT FEATURE lol

I don t like it..I Love it..waiting impatiently for October for mine coming at the door

do I need to hook it up to speakers to hear it?

Never mind that

Fender jazzmaster

If only it was multi timbral...

I'll stick to my K Station.

does it have a way to add a drum track?

Does this have a chord mode ?

I can understand copying the MicroKorg shape and target audience or whatever, but WHY also copy that stupid knob for selecting musical genre?!?!? WHYYYY??!!

Sonically, this thing may be the best thing since sliced bread (not heard one so I don't know), however, for editing and accessibility, the Roland Gaia and the new Studiologic Sledge leave this synth looking stupid. I am fed up of "performance matrix" setups. You can see the guy trying to demonstrate the VCA envelope and twiddling away trying to get the knob to latch to the programmed value - yuck. Try doing that live and you look stupid. As for the mini keys, don't get me started!

This is the exact opposite of the Korg Krome review. The voiceover was well-recorded, but the synth sounded really cheap, tinny and trebly. You need to use musicians to demonstrate an instrument's capabilities, not an amateur "noodler". Sorry, still love your cannel, anyway.

Basically a rip-off of the micro korg

This looks fairly disasterous for Novation.

Zzz...

I know! - It's so stupid! You'd think companies like Korg and Novation would not do such stupid things!

The design is equal to "microkorg"... "Novation· Where is your "Innovation"??

les démo son nul blablablab.désolé

lack of creativity
