Just a few quick shots of my new Novation UltraNova! I will be reviewing the synth along with providing my thoughts back to Novation. If anyone has any questions, or anything they'd like me to cover and/or pass along to them, let me know. You can leave a comment at the bottom of this post or send me an email (you can find my email address at the bottom right of the site via the little email icon - either click on it, or right click and copy the address).
I'm looking forward to giving this synth a run-through. I actually own a Novation Nova desktop synth, a K-Station, and of course, the recent Novation Circuit which I wrote a review for along with an iPad editor. I'm curious how the two will integrate, including how the UltraNova might act as an editor and controller for the Circuit. The addition of wavetables and extended functionality of the UltraNova over the Nova and K-Station are of particular interest to me as well. I'm curious how far the Nova line has come, and what if any of the codebase it shares with the originals. The Supernova II was the flagship and retailed for roughly $2,999. The UltraNova retails for only $599. How do they compare?Side note: check out the bottom two pics below. Funny how the keyboard in the top one runs into the image on the box in the bottom one. That was not intentional, but pretty cool nonetheless. :) The bottom shot is w/o the included mic plugged in.
Note I have "Reviews" in the title. Just going over the UltraNova for a day I can see it is a relatively deep synth. I will likely break out my review in sections over time, to both make it easier for me to compose and for you to consume.
I really like this synth. I think it sounds wonderful, and the editor really opens it up.
