The sound engine is exactly the same. Mininova misses the built in audio interface the Ultranova has, and the layout of the synth is vastly different, of course.
Cool :) I would sit the Novation above the midi keyboard at gigs anyway so all the knobs and parameters will still be right in front of me :) Thanks for the help :)
please read the specification section. global.novationmusic.com/synths/ultranova# For your reference, if you need full key, the one you have to choose is Ultranova. On the other hand, the one with mini key is called miniNova. I haven't felt any latency when I do pitch bend.
Quite different machines(I have both) The X-Station synth engine is nowhere as powerful as the Ultranova but does have more front panel controls. Also the X-Station is only available in 25, 49 and 61 key sizes.. The Ultra's 37 key size is a great compromise of range and portability
Can you store your patches to favorites and also can you switch between one patch to another simultaneously even if the patches are not in the same sound category ?
There's no favorite function on this synth. However, you can search patches by category and genre. You'd better sort patches with librarian software on PC for smooth select.
+ugirl2 Since this is single timbre synth, there's no kind of drum kit or drum machine. But it has some patches of drum parts, like snare drum, electro kick, or something like that.

Peres Dixon sounds like church on a sunday. If you have an Ultra Nova and know what it can do, this is a bad Advert for this power house Synth. ROCK IT OR LEAVE IT
You know it's a good video when it starts out with jump
You really convinced me to buy my own, awesome sounds, awesome play, nice, thank you, I was looking for this type of demonstration, thanks again!
Thanks for your comment. Novation rules!
>>Zaginam Czasoprzestrzen
This is "The Spirit Carries On" by Dream Theater.
Seen them live twice. Amazing band :)
At around 6:52 I finally got convinced about buying Ultranova :-) Really nice video!
1:50 4:15 - great sounds! Thanks!
very nice.im going to buy this synth
I'm nuts about mine. I love this synth
0:24 what is the title of this song? pretty amazing
Like it - even bit of Rush at 4:15...
Yes, Power Windows is one of my favorite XD
I have it. Its increible 😊🎹
What song is that at 4:55 ?
Beautiful.
Are all these sounds definitely on the synth as it comes?
I have one on order and love that 'Wonderment' patch.
Yep. Although I transposed some patches due to key range, they're completely internal sounds.
silentman0831 Thank you. Really impressed. Can't wait to get mine in the post ;)
Good demo!!! Can you tell the names of songs (4:55 & 5:36)? Thank you!
4:55 Get Wild / TM NETWORK, 5:36 Fukai Mori / Do As Infinity. Both are Japanese group.
+silentman0831 !!! Thank you !!!
I will get one for shure
whats diffrrences between mininova and ultra nova?
The sound engine is exactly the same. Mininova misses the built in audio interface the Ultranova has, and the layout of the synth is vastly different, of course.
This is really helpful :) Thanks mate :)
Would it be possible to connect a 61 key controller by midi if i needed more keys ??
Of course! though I don't know if you can tweak parameters using knob and fader of external controller...
Cool :) I would sit the Novation above the midi keyboard at gigs anyway so all the knobs and parameters will still be right in front of me :) Thanks for the help :)

1) are the keys full-sized or mini-sized like the Microkorg?
2) is there delay/latency when you pitch bend in real time?
please read the specification section. global.novationmusic.com/synths/ultranova#
For your reference, if you need full key, the one you have to choose is Ultranova. On the other hand, the one with mini key is called miniNova. I haven't felt any latency when I do pitch bend.
Jan Martin Ulvåg they look narrow as fuck in the video. i have large hands & fingers. and i already looked at the spec page.
They are full size and a nice Fatar keybed.. Far superior to the Korg keys..
I also have large hands and fingers and this keybed is great
I'm torn between this and the older X-Station. Such dilemma D:
Quite different machines(I have both)
The X-Station synth engine is nowhere as powerful as the Ultranova but does have more front panel controls.
Also the X-Station is only available in 25, 49 and 61 key sizes.. The Ultra's 37 key size is a great compromise of range and portability
might as well....

silentman0831 thank you for the info :) cheers
Rush - Grand Designs at 4:13 :))))
Yes! Do you like Rush? I'm a big fan of Rush.
Huge) I like them up until their 1989 era pretty much. And the track after that is early Dream Theater, another band I love :)
Is this one better than Microkorg XL+?
It's up to you! IMAO I don't buy mini key one since it's hard for me to play...
I bought the Ultranova haha I think it was the best option!
Inuyasha...goosebumps
does this have any beats in it?
+ugirl2 Since this is single timbre synth, there's no kind of drum kit or drum machine. But it has some patches of drum parts, like snare drum, electro kick, or something like that.
yeah thats what im looking for just a beat to play to
Do these patches come with the Mininova as well? And Grand Designs- awesome riff!

Thanks for the response and for the really helpful article. Still trying to decide between the Ultra and the Mini. Great video!
Typical VST soundish
Nice Looking synth. With boring Sounds what a Pity .
You think so? but you can refine sound because this is synthesizer.
Let me hear your performance. I'm looking forward to it!
I guess you have one don't you.He is just scratching the surface.
Peres Dixon

It's true have a look at other videos examples.
