Here we have our pre-loved Novation Mininova Synth and Vocoder in excellent condition including its box, designed for sonic explorers and musical creatives who love to get busy in the studio or on stage.

The Novation MiniNova Virtual Analogue Synthesizer is a compact synthy beast built for studio production and high-energy live performances. Fitted with an intuitive, performance-ready interface, a broad palette of sonic capabilities, and a striking retro design, the MiniNova punches well above its weight.

It's the ideal musical partner for crafting bass-heavy techno or lush cinematic pads. This synthesiser delivers pro-grade sound design in a sleek and portable unit.

UltraNova Sound Engine in a Portable Format

At the heart of the MiniNova lies the renowned UltraNova sound engine, now packed into a smaller, travel-friendly chassis. It comes loaded with a vast array of emulated analogue tones and futuristic textures.

Thanks to the central category selection knob, paired with a suite of buttons, sliders, and encoders, navigating and editing sounds is fast and fluid. This means more time making music and less time scrolling through menus.

256 Presets + Real-Time Sound Design

Boasting 256 onboard presets, the MiniNova gives you an extensive sonic foundation right out of the box. You can also store up to 128 user-designed patches, and with the Patch Librarian software, managing unlimited sounds on your Mac or PC is a piece of cake.

With 18-voice polyphony, you can layer complex harmonies, pads, or effects without compromise. The hands-on control layout allows for real-time adjustments, enabling you to modulate and shape your sound as you play, making it ideal for both improvisation and detailed sound sculpting.

Each voice can carry up to five simultaneous effects, including reverb, chorus, distortion, EQ, and more, providing exceptional depth and tonal stacking for modern electronic production.

Next-Level Vocals with Built-In Vocoder & VocalTune

Take your vocal performances to new heights with MiniNova's powerful VocalTune and vocoder features. Plug in the included microphone and sing or speak. Your voice will be auto-tuned in real-time to match the keys you're playing. This allows you to create harmonies, robotic textures, or expressive melodic layers with ease.

You can also process external audio sources through MiniNova's effects, vocoder, and filters. Whether you're sampling vocals, guitar, or any other instrument, the MiniNova offers a creative edge in vocal synthesis and processing.

Expressive Performance Features: Animate Mode & Arpeggiator

With the MiniNova's unique 'Animate' mode, you can trigger dramatic sound modulations at the touch of any of the eight backlit buttons. Perfect for live sets, this feature adds movement, variation, and character to your sound on the fly.

In Arpeggiator mode, the synth becomes a powerful live tool for rhythmic sequencing. Step through patterns in real time, switch steps in and out, and create constantly evolving melodies and grooves. It's a performance enhancer for any style – from EDM, synthwave, and house to hip-hop and experimental genres.

Seamless DAW Integration and USB Connectivity

The MiniNova synthesiser is more than just a sound machine – it's also a reliable MIDI controller. The 37-key velocity-sensitive mini keyboard can be used to control virtual instruments, plug-ins, and DAW parameters. Connect via USB and manage your patches with the included editing software, streamlining your workflow in the studio.

Whether you're building your first synth setup or expanding your professional rig, the Novation MiniNova stands out as a feature-rich, portable synthesizer for modern music production.
