From Our Research Team:An Analog-modeled Synth with Automap!Novation has done a lot for the keyboard world. Their Nova and SuperNova synths are cult classics, and the innovative Automap technology made great strides toward simplifying MIDI setups. Now you can have both the power of an analog-modeled synth and Automap in one unit, known simply as UltraNova. Boasting wavetable synthesis, 14 filter types, six envelopes, a trio of LFOs, effects, and a whole lot more, UltraNova is a very powerful sound-creation tool.Of course, with this level of power and control onboard, you need a clean and clear means of control. Novation answers with dedicated buttons for each part of the synth which are linked to eight encoders. These encoders give the UltraNova a very analog-type vibe. Any synth worth its salt is inspiring to play, and UltraNova takes it to the next level with its "Touch" performance system, which allows you to trigger envelopes, filters, LFOs, and effects by simply touching the encoders. A vocoder and included mic give you even more options. But that's not all! UltraNova is also equipped with a 2-in/4-out USB audio interface (you can also draw bus power through the USB port!) that can stream audio to and from your computer.

Reviewsbased on 6 reviewsAwesome and easy to use synthesizer
by Jay from Austin, Texas
Ultranova is packed with features and deep synthesis ability. I love the sounds of it. I can make anything from deep phat basses to beautiful pads to all types of electronic music fare. I think you co... read more [+]uld use it for any type of electronic music. The interface is very easy to use. It is obvious that it was designed this way. I learned it in a few hours. Very easy do what you want. The keybed is high quality just like novation says. Modulation is extensive as are the numerous wavetables. I like the vocoder and the assignable knobs. Effects are good and I appreciate the panning effects this synth has. I don’t subscribe to the mindset that says only top dollar gear is pro – at all, because this reasonably priced synth will not dissapoint. The filters are reasonably good. Many filter modes, routing options, very chic looking VST. A few notes: You can route audio through the synth but only to the effects and vocoder (not the filter, arp, etc) . The frequency knob flywheels, IE the position of max cutoff will move next time you turn the knob down and back up. These are not big deals to me. It’s reliable and built well. I’d gig with it without any worries. It does have some character to the sound and a classic Novation blue appearance. Manual is decent. This board is reliable, never had a problem with it. Support was helpful when I had questions. I’d recommend it to friends. Sweetwater shipped it fast and asked how I liked it weeks after the sale. close [-]

Beyond all of the extra features is the sound. I have built a custom pc(sort of my own version of a sound rack) dedicated to the massive amount of vst's that I own from omnisphere to komplete 7 to Nex... read more [+]us all of the Arturia stuff and so much more. I had been using a interface known for pretty decent conversion, but the sound out of it still felt like it was lacking. I decided that I would go with a hardware synth cause I wanted a fatter sound, so a friend told me about this synth. I was familiar with novation from their awesome controllers and automap. So when I read that this thing had automap on it (even in its limited stage automap is really handy) i was really interested. So I ran down to my nearest music store and started playing around on the demo, even through the whack monitors they had this thing hooked to it was sounding good. Now it was on par with the Roland Gaia and the Venom from M-Audio and the Korg synths they all had nice sounds but the reason I bought this one is because of the features. So when I got it home I hooked it up to my PC loaded all of the software, pulled up kore 2 loaded some of my performance patches with some of my fav plugins. hooked this thing up to some yamaha hs80ms and played a chord. WOW!!!! the sound that came out of the UltraNova interface was fat and lively. So this is what my soft synths were suppose to sound like huh. So then i started playing with that lil mix knob beside the volune knob and it started mixing in the sound capabillities of the UltraNova and yeah just like that I was up til 3 in the morning playing around with the mixture of software and hardware sound creation possibillities this thing provides. First I tweaked the UltraNova then switched to automap and tweaked the softsynth I was having so much fun I almost forgot that I had to be at work at 6 that morning. close [-]
May 29, 2011 Music Background: Production, mixing and mastering engineer Powerful Synth w/ Amazing Value
by Steve from United States
This synthesizer's fury gets truly unleashed when used with the VST Editor Software. Using the VST helps avoid a considerable amount of menu diving, and really speeds up the sound design process.February 24, 2012 Music Background: Performer, Educator, Music Industry ... read more [+]> The sound of the Ultranova is brilliant! The modulation parameters are extensive, and the variety of performance features are useful and fun to engage. The keyboard feel is in league with synths 5x it's price. The added vocoder is a nice touch, and everyone loves a versatile arpeggiator. IMO, the Ultranova is an amazing value, and is a great addition to anyone's studio & live rig. close [-] Nifty ear splitting nastiness!!!

I've owned the UltraNova for about a month now and I really like it. I used to use a Remote SL 25, but there just aren't enough keys on it. I feel like I can lay down parts a lot easier with the 37-ke... read more [+]y. I use Automap a lot for controlling the compressor in Live too. For that, its an indispensable tool. I use it with a Native Instruments' Machine and a Novation Nocturn, which is a must have utility(only $100 too :-). It is so nice to have a completely bus powered keyboard and drum machine rig. I've got the UltraNova bag too and its pretty sweet. The headphone output on the UltraNova is really loud too so all y'all deft DJs and keyboard junkies out there will be happy. The synth is pretty bad ***. Its meaty like Massive. The filters a great. Its pretty easy to navigate the sub-menus. Its mono-tabral, but if you have a Machine, you use that to create unlimited multi-timbral parts with other soft-synths. Maschine is perfect for switching keyboard patches too. You can load up a VST on each pad and switch between them on the fly. You can even load up the UltraNova Software Editor in Maschine and it will tell you what all of the knobs do on Maschine's screens. You can MIDI learn all of the params too. And if you set up the Nocturn right in User Mode, in combination with the Maschine, its just as good as having a full sized synth. Just set up only 1 or 2 (maybe 3 but no more) pages worth of dedicated controls on Maschine and the Nocturn and use the sub-pages on the ultra nova for everything else. The best part is is that the Maschine, Noturn, and UltraNova all fit in the UltraNova bag. The Nocturn has LED rights and smooth encoders too. I actually use the UltraNova's SPDIF to to into my MOTU Ultra Lite MK3 Hybrid SPDIF in and I have Maschine in stand alone mode running in tandum with Ableton Live... that's whats up!!! I haven't had any crashes yet. You can sync them up with a MIDI cable. I would give it a 5 but its mono-tamral. Can't rightly do that. You can plug another synth into the audio inputs(like a blofeld), so for $700, you can't beat it. close [-]
