Synthesizer

Synthesizer NOVATION Ultranova, The Sound Designer's Dream UltraNova is the most advanced, configurable and controllable synth by NOVATION, designed to create new, unique and edgy sounds, plus all the classics you'd expect from a Nova-series synth.

The Sound Designer's Dream

UltraNova sounds great with the very simplest of patches, but also gives you intuitive hands-on control over the powerful synth engine for deep and complex sound editing. Alter your sounds however you like, then shape them to perfection with 5-way multi-FX processor.
The powerful modulation matrix lets you connect any source to whatever you like, so you can create almost any sound you can imagine. Don't worry if sound editing isn't your thing; we'll also send you regular soundpack updates, with loads of new sounds to inspire you.

Touch n' Tweak
UltraNova's patches are more than just static presets. Each is set up with up to eight parameters, which can be tweaked or totally warped using touch-sensitive encoders. Tweak to alter the brightness or dial in some grit, or touch to trigger subtle movement in your sound, or seriously warp it into something completely different.
