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.
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.
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!
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 :)
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!
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.
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!
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.
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
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
You'll be able to sequence mininova from any DAW you fancy via midi (it's got din I/o & USB midi) I think the audio will have to be recorded into DAW separately via your audio interface.
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 ?
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?
If you hooked it up to a guitar amp. It might ruin it. The guitar amp is different from a bass amp. Playing a synth through a guitar amp is actually quite fun and interesting. If you turn on the distortion it gets even crazier. Like Skinny Puppy sounds.
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.
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
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
GrimlyFiendish He’s going on about how amazing the vocoder is and then we hear THAT?? If it’s a joke it’s really funny, if not, did they really think that sounded good? Doesn’t matter....it was 7 years ago
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 :)
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.
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.
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!

Would you recommend this as a first buy?
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!
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 :)
I love the look of this, this is defo on my christmas wish list ;)
Just got one a few days ago, still great for DnB today.
I hope one day USB midi will work instrument to instrument instead of connecting to a computer
this is good ,well worth the price !
Hi DV247 TV,

Yes, there is
yea true! wonder if this ketboard has some sort of quantising, and bpm control?
If you want multi timbral take a look at the akai miniak
Yes!
Why are certain sounds called "pads".....?
BlatendCrude I'm not sure, but I would assume because of their softer and less sudden envelope style and sound
Can you get a good electric piano sound out of it?
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!
Remember kids, be sure to mic ALL your hosts.

why i have glitches sync issue and latency when i use the vst for the mininova?
I want to use this in studio as a synth/controller. How can i do that?
it's a music instrument that's fun to play as a toy (y) nuff said
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
I like it---yep
On a initial patch when j want to put an a LFO1 on the OSC1 there is not change.Which steps to do?
Will this be good for Pink Floyd-style music?
From what I've gathered from demos yes
Get a korg m1
Massive floyd fan here and I use one and love it
Pretty sure Muse's Morgan Nicholls uses this live
have you used one? do you know how to use one?
How good is this synth for the creation of PSYTRANCE?
I want to get this thing but I don't know what program I can use with it. Does FL Studio work?
You'll be able to sequence mininova from any DAW you fancy via midi (it's got din I/o & USB midi) I think the audio will have to be recorded into DAW separately via your audio interface.
David Holmes Thanks!
Do you have to have a computer to mess around with this thing or can you still do most of that without one?
No computer needed :)
yes that was the whole reason midi was invented
The MiniNova has Glide/portatone ? Thank you.
Novation Mininova or MicroKorg MK1? Can't decide
Microkorg....nothing better than that
Melissa de Britto mininova
Melissa de Britto microkorg xl better
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 ?
yes i use it that way too, works pretty well when im creating sounds back home.
Is it good to be combined with RD2000? thanks
Does the MiniNova has the same patches as the UltraNova? I am particularly interested in the natural patches. Thanks.
Yes
Is it monophonic?
Whats the difference between this and microkorg asides the increased polyphony? I
***** Just in time dude. Already bought mikrokorg mk1.
theres a bigger version called the ultranova with bigger keys and a better layout. The mininova is just a smaller and cheaper version.
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?
do I need to hook it up to speakers to hear it?
you can just use headphones to hear it yourself. Do you mean for like a live performance?
yeah, for like live performance. Can I hook it up to a guitar amp?
idk about a guitar amp but I use a little DI box that plugs into a PA.
If you hooked it up to a guitar amp. It might ruin it. The guitar amp is different from a bass amp. Playing a synth through a guitar amp is actually quite fun and interesting. If you turn on the distortion it gets even crazier. Like Skinny Puppy sounds.
Hi, can I easily use this as a MDI-Keyboard via USB (to play VSTis/PlugIns that are on my PC)??
Thanks
Yes
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???
TheGazzadj stand alone. I believe it can be hooked up to a computer but it won't work exactly like a controller.
Can this do 80s warm, deep, sweeping sounds like the old Yamaha DX7?
***** That's not true.
***** Its a synth. No computer needed.
you have to be quiet
just brought the nord rack 2 i want to use it on the mininova. Is that possible/
Viplounger Nope, but why would you want that? You can buy any 100€ midi-keyboard that plays much better than this fragile keyboard.
Viplounger Yes, you can... the Mininova has MIDI in and out, as does the Nord Rack 2, you just need the right cables...
i really like this little synth, sick and tired of fake and timewasting pc software, hardware is the way to go!
that way one cable will do both in and out
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.
TheKillerShrews yes they look grubby, unclean even 🤢 wore their worst clothes too I think.
Again with the no tap-tempo. I thought this was supposed to be a performance synth?
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
it really sux that you always are back to number 001 insted of what you where working on
You have to scroll thru 512 sounds before you get to your own sounds... that'¨s a big pain in the ***
It's an exelent synth don't get me wrong..I love it BUT....there's always a but
You can save a favorites for quick recall
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
Sorry, meant Channel, obvoiusly.
RoCkiN💢🎼🎶🎸🎹
Does this have a chord mode ?
does it have a way to add a drum track?
7:43 I'm begging everyone to NOT USE THAT FEATURE lol
GrimlyFiendish He’s going on about how amazing the vocoder is and then we hear THAT?? If it’s a joke it’s really funny, if not, did they really think that sounded good?
Doesn’t matter....it was 7 years ago
yes every vid of that feature sounds like a chipmunk on helium
Never mind that
Fender jazzmaster
When did these companies forget these were supposed to be building musical instruments, not toys?
it isn't a toy but you wouldn't get it for that price
4:08, i thought they were talking about one of there workers
its nothing like the microkorg
3 mins to get to the sound...
Popatre thanks, saved me 3 mins
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 :)
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.
If you're just pressing play in ableton then you're doing it wrong and/or don't know how to use it.
The fact that so many people buy the instrument should not bother anyone then. lol.
I'll stick to my K Station.
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.
I think I'd be tempted to print off little label stickers with "genre 1", "genre 2" , etc .. and cover them up haha
If only it was multi timbral...
I don t like it..I Love it..waiting impatiently for October for mine coming at the door

As for the mini keys, don't get me started!
Basically a rip-off of the micro korg
Zzz...
I know! - It's so stupid! You'd think companies like Korg and Novation would not do such stupid things!
This looks fairly disasterous for Novation.
les démo son nul blablablab.désolé
The design is equal to "microkorg"... "Novation· Where is your "Innovation"??
lack of creativity
