This video has me sold on the Ultranova. An incredibly powerful synthesizer / production tool, this is the first video I've seen that truly shows the power of this thing. And can be found for as little as $500 new.
Hi Guilherme, Providing you have the latest firmware update, the Ultra arpegiator nova's will work when using the Ultranova as a MIDI controller. The vocoder works well and can be used to process signals through the stereo line inputs on the Ultranova. I would recommend trying it out for yourself at your local authorized Novation retailer.
Here's some advice... whoever has Daniel Fisher employed better keep that guy happy. As far as synths go, this guy can make or break my decision whether to buy something or not. He's got one hell of a knack for making me want to buy things.. not because he talked me to death, but because he shows the potential of an instrument in the hands of someone capable.
Hi jon carolino, The Mininova will have an Editor plug-in available soon. It will be similar so the Ultranova version. This will also work inside GarageBand. If you have any questions please contact Technical Support through the Novation website.
Dont know if anyone cares but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother for the last days =)
@cristianokeller Hi there, I'm not sure why your comment has been removed, if it has. This can only be a mistake as we only remove abusive or offensive comments. There is no known hardware fault with the Vocoder, you need to ensure you set a sensible input level in the Audio menu and ensure your master output level is adequate. This is similar to any microphone level adjustment - finding the right balance is crucial to avoid clipping.
@NovationTV All right, now the vocoder is fine! The last OS Update added a compressor with fixed levels (limiting) to the input section. Thank you Novation to hear our claims!
Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems. Please contact Novation Technical Support using the contact form on the Novation Answerbase so that we can help you with this.
is there any tutorial on how you setup ultranova with Abelton live i am having some issues , i am not sure if its the software or the ultranova thanks...
Awesome! About the Arpeggiator and Vocoder, how good they are? When using as a controller, can I use Arpeggiator too? I'm seriously thinking of selling my M-Audio Axiom If I can use It as a good controller for Logic... Cheers
I cant seem to connect my ultranova as a plugin to mpc renaissance. I connected it as a midi with no issues. Another thing i cant seem to do is get to the editor. Does the usb need to be connected to comp or can it work from usb connection to mpc?
i really want one. can you edit everything without a compter or is it just the more basic things. ofcourse it's easyer with computer but its always great to be able to use it whitout
+1carloasis The Editor is installed with the Librarian to your computer. Whilst the Librarian is standalone the Editor is a plugin, it is opened in your DAW as you would a VST or AU instrument. Please email Novation Support for further assistance. uk.novationmusic.com/answerbase/contact
I think this will blow my X-station away!!! Daniel, my Xstation has a weird problem, the sound occasionally fades out. It happened during a performance. That was when I decided to upgrade! If you are a novation specialist, do you have any ideas what could cause this problem?
That's a tough one. Both synthesisers feature the same Nova-derived synth engine but UltraNova has additional controls that makes it easier to create patches on the unit itself. UltraNova also features a built-in soundcard so you can record your audio straight into your DAW via USB and a larger keyboard which can also transmit aftertouch.
5:58 the vocoder distorts? Why? And Why Novation removed my previous post? The vocoder is unusable, it CLIPS all the time! And other people must know about this... Leave my comment this time, and post a reply for it. This is what honest people do. We need this issue corrected!
When is The VST Going to Be 64 Bit i Can't Use It In Cubase 9.5 Come on Novation If You Buy Something it Should Work P.S. Your Tech-support Dose Not Get Back To Me ????????
Sorry to hear that you've had problems setting this up, Frank. The Ultranova Editor is available in 64bit, when using a 64bit DAW. There isn't a dedicated 64bit version, both a 32 and 64bit version will be installed when you install the editor. Rest assured, if you have emailed our support team, they will respond as soon as they can. You may also find the following resources helpful: support.novationmusic.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206861789-How-to-configure-the-Ultranova-with-the-Ultranova-Editor-plug-in-in-Ableton-Live- help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000349184-VST-AU-plug-in-doesn-t-appear-in-Live
That's just great. So I can also use it as a soundcard and midi controller? Also, Is It possible to sync the internal Arpeggiator tempo with my Logic Pro tempo? Unfortunately I don't have a local authorized here in Brazil, but I've just ordered mine from USA, I'm sure It's a great gear. Depending on how good it would perform as a controller I'll just sell my Axiom too. Thank you!
Annnnddd… most other synths can do those sounds too. A great talk about the virtues of synthesisers, not too much about the actual product itself it seems.

a tour de force presentation!
I like it! The touch-enabled knops makes it a very expressive instrument. Nice patches!
Extraordinary demo!!

I bought this UltraNova kind of accidentally and am so happy with it, and of course Daniel makes it even more fun!
The patch of 8:47 reminds me of bass from Sun and the Rainfall by Depeche Mode

Please help
+rickomatic Hit us up at bit.ly/NovationSupport and we can walk you through.
Hello, great videos Daniel, can you please tell me if the mininova has any limitations to the synth engine compared to the ultranova?
is there any tutorial on how you setup ultranova with Abelton live
i am having some issues , i am not sure if its the software or the ultranova
thanks...
Can we have these sounds?
dude is a genius, jeez. . . wonder how long hes been involved in sound design. that was impressive... inspiring too though, peace
you know he makes all his own patches actually not all of them but the ones towards the end he did infact create that
Odaher wtf kinda name is that
That guy is a real pro, very good :)
Will the Mini Nova have this same VST or plug in as he has? Is it (the mininova) compatible with Garageband?
Awesome!
About the Arpeggiator and Vocoder, how good they are?
When using as a controller, can I use Arpeggiator too? I'm seriously thinking of selling my M-Audio Axiom If I can use It as a good controller for Logic...

Hello what can you said about Ultranova for trance. I want to buy but only for trance music( for massive pads, plucks and other. Thanks
Why such a limited view.
i really want one. can you edit everything without a compter or is it just the more basic things. ofcourse it's easyer with computer but its always great to be able to use it whitout
