pico « Mini But who gives the Maximum! »
Published on 11/19/12 at 01:44Mono-timbral synthesizer with 18-note polyphony.
14 different filters, 20 pitches extensive modulation + 8 + 8 pads animat configurable buttons assignable modulations.
There are 384 memory locations including 256 and 128 vacuum already published.
The mininova is self powered by the USB port which is handy for use with computer.
The build quality is very good good view regarding the buttons.
The buttons are mounted on a metal panel on the sides two wooden slats are fixed and increases the strength and stability of plastic.
I have a little doubt on the reliability of the button and volume data which may be very busy with the time and usually are the weak link in this type of keyboard, but so far no problem.
UTILIZATION
Ergonomics is the sort of small synthesizer nice I think, lcd screen is very readable and large, the buttons are well spaced and well attached to the panel, the velocity of minitouches are calibrated for use VST plug .
The buttons are very nice and solid, they are fluid and there is no jump in value.
SOUNDS
The variety of sounds is vast and covers most of the synth sounds, from vintage to modern, it can have a sound close to a recent analog but the match of course, but the quality of its distortions it color gives a special and enjoyable.
The different varieties of filters coupled with distos provides versatile grain.
The band equalizer in the effects permettes also finalize its to correct for it to fit into a mix or on stage with other instruments.
The vocoder included in the mininova is very good and covers also full of vintage references and it is very understandable in this price category.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 weeks now
I am very satisfied with this synthesizer and I am surprised with the result, I do not expect this is a pleasant surprise.
I wanted to use it primarily for mobile use to make the models and some dubstep but it goes much further than that, its versatility and ease of programming makes it suitable for stylish studio environment.
Modulations are not negligible intake for stage games.
Quality buttons vintage look gives it a lot of charm especially that of the filter.
little -:
I do not like the unison mode, which I think is not very musical and I found some bugs in youth fashion usb midi with ableton live (I had cuts sounds while the south continued to function.
It could also happen in some unnecessary menu mode "menu", but it is really to grumble, because the interface is already very nice and packed with ideas.
I'm quite satisfied with this synthesizer and I can only recommend it.
