Novation UltraNova

Carrying the Nova name, UltraNova is the next generation of Novation’s iconic synth family, which brought you the SuperNova and SuperNova II. It has a 37-note Fatar keybed, illuminated pitch and modulation wheels, eight assignable touch-sensitive rotary encoders, a 144-character LCD, and a large knob for fine control of parameters. Under the hood, UltraNova’s arpeggiator, vocoder and USB audio interface make it useful for today’s music makers, and bus powering lets you put it at the centre of your stage or studio rig.

Key Features
