    Sound engine compatible ultranova, more patches SuperNova were brought to the MN
    Nice arpeggiator, step sequencer with easy controllable gate for each step
    Effects Novation that is to say bloated, excellent for modulations style chorus, delay. Good reverbs
    Bass sounds punchy and powerful, cool pad

    The vocoder is actually more successful than the ultranova and also allows for the "autotune"

    OVERALL OPINION

    I month
    I used almost all synths in innovation since BassStation until I release the ultranova I just sold for Mini! I keep my old supernova
    Clearly the sound quality of these synths clearly improves with the same time if the grain of my supernova remains friendly
    I think the sounds of small MN are more accurate than those of ultranova even if I do not have the A to directly compare but I used it more than 2 years and I have much in his head grain
    I also like the pad that allows animation to save a preset different modulation same. These same pads also allow you to save and quickly recall eight of his favorite presets handy for the stage

    I will not go into the technical specifications.

    I would just say a summary of the wide range of modeling found.

    This is the second of this type synth I buy. The first being the k station of the same brand. The difference lies in two points. Mini nova is much more easily controllable through the interface that installs on his computer. Then edit the sound becomes a feast: setting and balance oscillators, envelopes, filters, LFO and effects. K station I think is great for its simplicity and sound quality does not offer as wide oscillators that Mininova choice.

K station I think is great for its simplicity and sound quality does not offer as wide oscillators that Mininova choice.

    UTILIZATION

    Setup is simple when the plug-in editing is used. It is more tedious with internal menus. Unlike k station or MiniBrute, it must pass through a tree menu to make all settings subtleties. That's why I say it is almost essential to use the plug-in in your favorite sequencer.

    I use Live. I would say that as a hacker unassuming, this is just great. I understood a lot about synthesis through visual plug-in.

    I spotted a default when you save a sound syncs with the effects (delay, for example), the Mininova does not retain settings.

    SOUNDS

    Very good sound with great precision. Synchronizing LFO, arpeggiator and effects, makes a great synergy with live. I guess it will be the same on other software. The filters sound great. I am a fan of simple oscillators (sawtooth, sine, square) and I find my account. I really feel that mininova as an effective tool arrangement. Not as a tool for solos.

    I would say that sounds lead, I keep my preference for my old K station. It sounds much more "analog" as mininova. Moreover, in terms of expression, the keyboard is really mininova nase. I use it only when I tablecloths Register. For a more complex game requiring shades, I play sounds in mininova afternoon with another keyboard.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for about 6 months. I am very satisfied. Sound creation or modification of factory sounds is easy when it is connected to your PC or Mac. I will surely do it again this choice.

    The pianos presets are a bit light for my taste.

    And having received from the approximate traveled this synth pleases me well and it will be nice to go completely.
    Too bad the patch editor is not yet available for download on the Novation website.
