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.

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.
