Limited Offer Ex-Display Analogue-modelling synth

Novation Ultranova: - CONDITION: A1, includes all accessories and full manufacturer's warranty.

Novation UltraNova Synthesizer is a ‘Nova’ series analogue-modelling synthesizer with a powerful effects processor. Novation UltraNova is a single-part synth, which takes the legendary Supernova II synth engine as a starting point and packs it with the latest technology. UltraNova has brand new features including wavetable synthesis, even more powerful filters, a software editor and a revolutionary new touch-sense performance mode.

The Novation 'Nova' family was born in 1998 with the Supernova, which was the first of a series of powerful synthesisers. These quickly became industry standard 'big-synths' which are still used by countless artists and sound designers. UltraNova is the latest addition to the family bringing the range right up to date with a host of new features and a more affordable price tag.

UltraNova has evolved the idea of hands-on sound-shaping, allowing you to get deeper and more creative physical control of the synth engine. By pressing 'Touch' in the Animate section, you engage a mode that triggers envelopes and sound-shaping destinations by simply touching any of the touch-sensitive encoders. These destinations could be oscillator pitch, sync, hardness, filter distortion, cutoff, resonance, effects parameters, send levels - to name but a few.
