Novation MiniNova 37-Key Synthesizer with Vocoder

MiniNova carries the UltraNova sound engine into a compact 37-note velocity-sensitive keyboard, with up to 18 voices of polyphony and up to five effects per voice drawn from distortion, reverb, chorus, phaser, delay, compressor, and EQ. Eight backlit animate/arpeggiator buttons, a large filter pot, and four performance pots put the sound-shaping controls under your hands rather than buried in a menu.

A 12-band vocoder with VocalTune runs off the included XLR gooseneck microphone, with a quarter-inch input available for other mic or line sources. MiniNova ships with 256 preset sounds and 128 user-savable patches, connects over USB 2.0 (bus-powered) or 5-pin MIDI, and outputs to a pair of quarter-inch jacks plus headphones.
