This mini-synth is built to inspire producers, gigging musicians, and sound explorers alike, featuring a 12-band vocoder and VocalTune effects to craft both classic and cutting-edge vocal effects.

MiniNova’s sound engine is packed with 14 conventional waveforms, 36 wavetables, and 20 digital waveforms, allowing you to sculpt sounds using density/detune, virtual sync, and the unique "hardness" filter.
