@NovationTV Can I make synth pop music with this keyboard? What about music that requires electronic keyboard sounds, does it do that? I have also been told that it might be good for making techno music, but I wonder if that is true. Also, I notice it has keys. If I press the keys, will the correct corresponding note play, or do I need to buy a midi controller to control the midi controller? Thanks!
yeah I agree on some comments.. this is bad advertisement, but I like this synth and I am a big fan of novation products. I demand novation to make a better one for ultranova, like you did before on sl mkii, launchpad and nocturn
This is such a terrible add...does this thing offer midi support through USB? Whats the point of spending 600 on something I can easily accomplish through any basic DAW?
@badrunofluck1 Well a lot of people still insist that hardware gives you better sound. I think it's good to always own at least one physical synthesizers. This one's price isn't bad. I only use DAW because I can't afford anything else. It's cost effective for me, but I want a synth to.
I can make a patch for Ultranova which will cause it to stop producing sound. I asked Novation about this but they gave me no answer to this phenomenon. Can any of you explain this?
Can't think of a single reason to spend $699. for something like this. Here's a better plan: Spend $100 on an old used instrument, take 20 weeks of music lessons at $20 each, (that's $400.) So far you've only spent $500 and you're already 10 times the musician you'll ever be simply pressing buttons and tweaking knobs. Use the extra $200 to buy something nice for your mom.
@advokat685 Dubstep, House, some old 80's style stuff, 90's for those chunky basses, the odd electro, all sorts really, the synth can satisfy my needs for those genres (: what about you?
I've just got this synth this morning, it's fantastic for multiple uses, i'm really pleased with it and i've only just started covering the surface of it. At first i thought it was going to be hard but actually it's fairly straight forward. (:
I just got mine today, it sounds AMAZING and it's incredibly easy to make dubstep tracks. The vocoder works great for breakdowns. This plus the Launchpad make doing live shows sooo easy! Best hardware synth for the money, hands down.
this synth rocks, end of story. i just cant understand why they made such an awful promo video for it.... 'the ultranova comes with 300 sounds... so we're only gonna show you 2 of them...'
@chingueasumadretodo The Ultranova is a typical MIDI device, synthesizer and 2 in 4 out sound card. It has MIDI in / out and thru ports and can be powered either by USB connection or a PSU.
that has to be the worst dubstep i have ever heard.. most weakass derivative wobble bass ever, with no layering of freqs to it at all. oh of course, its one part timbre... what an insult to dubstep producers thinking they would be impressed by that.
especially if you compare the sounds to say, the razor softsynth by NI, now that sounds kickass.
and that girl is not even using it in the video at 0.55!!!
still, i reckon it possibly is ok when you get to play with it. just ignore this clip!
So im a noob when it comes to hardware synths, what is the process for using one of these in your DAW? Does the software for the ultranova allow you to use it like a vst?
If not, Im guessing you do some sort of midi out to the instrument and have the daw play whatever notes you want on the nova and then record what is played back into your daw as an audio file? Yes / No?
@rodanmusic1 The Ultranova Editor does not play patches like a standard VST Instrument. It simply edits the patches of the connected Ultranova Synth. In your DAW you can easily bounce / record your patches by USB connection if you are using the Ultranova as your interface. Otherwise, you can connect the Master Outs to an interface and the same theory applies.
Wicked! I just learned from the sonicstate test video that the Ultranova is also capable to modulate FX parameters and offers chord memory. Super! I want one. ;)
just bought one last night for 100 dollars off. after onlly an hour of playing it I can say this little axe fucking delivers! gritty eoto style womps, defining leads. smooth pads and prickly highs. this thing is great . the software is awesome as well
This instrument sounds so and looks so amazing! My mom called me more then 5 or 10x? She got sick of calling me so she came in my room and beat the crap out of me with a belt. But that whole time, I was still staring and listening to the video/sound. I must get this amazing technology ASAP!
Sorry to have offended... that was not my intent. I have owned a number of Novation musical instruments and have always found them to be 'cutting edge" technology. The marketing just did not work for me. It is all good. Have a great year 2011
this thing is awesome and all but the commercial just is really an insult to synths like seriously most people just want synths for arpeggiators and effects and they just press and hold keys it was better back when people actually played synth like they should be used: like a piano an instrument that takes skill and is for awesome solos and stuff ,sorry not trying to insult anybody
There was almost no talent used in making the music on this video. Hopefully most of the people who use this will play more than one note and turn knobs.
@mrbusters You realize however that the preparation time spent to set up these instruments and setting up macros to control the synth is what makes this look so easy? Hours and hours and hours getting the patches just right.
This vid does not do this synth justice. Bought one yesterday and it is absolutely one serious piece of gear. played the Roland Gaia too in the same shop and never looked back once the guy plugged in the Ultra. Flawless interface with Cubase SX. It even updated itself when it was plugged in true USB. Mindblowing sounds, that's a fact. Novation has grown wise and old. No more dodgy keyboards. This gear is an instand classic, watch my words.
Can someone PLEASE tell me whether or not I can hook this up to a korg kaossilator (which btw uses standard line inputs) I'm new to all this synth stuff and could really use this answer
@thesilentguymusic Could not agree more. Trew my juno's and other vintage gear out of the window and bought me one of these. No more backpain carying the real stuff to a gig for me thank you very much. Had more stress keeping those real analogs alive and kicking than I was playing music at one time. Sure I had analogs but had to use samples of them in a live gig....I don't have a problem with purists but the should not have a problem with VA's to. They mix and match. That's all.
I think this looks perfect for my setup - small enough to sit on a desk next to my laptop, and lightweight and usb powered. I still use a remote 25 audio and love it to death - have made many patches in it, and love the synth engine - and the ultranova looks better again!
Good work novation for thinking about what us musicians really want... This will absolutely rock my little home studio.
can this be used as a usb midi controoler my set up is very basic logic reason and a usb keyboard im goin to get this but i wanna know if i need to get a mixer or an interface to handle it some 1 help thanx
@AlvinationMusic Yes this can be used to control your Mixer and other devices in Logic and Reason. Please make sure you download the latest version of Automap and ensure you read the DAW Setup Guide.
can i use this with a basic set up ie run it thru midi via usb have a very basic set up laptop n a 25 key midi can i se this synth with all of its features via usb or do i have to get an external interface or mixer
What happened to the color of unit--on the box and in this promo it's a cool bright blue, but in real life it looks more like a dull dark blue. I want the original blue one--is there a choice?
Novation Ultranova vs Roland Gaia. Who would win in a face-off?!
Ultranova has a vocoder. Gaia has a D-Beam. Ultranova has aftertouch. Gaia has more knobs and faders. Ultranova has more space for sound storage. Gaia has combined pitch/modulation controll. Etc etc
Which VA should I get if I am into live performing?

eh, they didnt show us much, id like to see more sounds being shown. I know it sounds like it would be pretty useful but id really like to see more of the possibilities
WTF Doesn't anyone know how to play anymore!!! This synth is great but the demo is horrible. Wobble bass sound forever. No one is playing anything. There are so many people that could have put together a kick ass demo why they chose this is beyond me. I'm still can't wait to get one though.
This has to be the worst promo video ever! Get a player to play it , not some pseud DJ types , including the black girl, playing one note at a time and tweaking ...any clown can do that ... I want to hear it played...
i orderd one ,cant wait when i get it,people thinking this is shit ,well isnt anything else for that matter shit?its all about sounddesigning and this synth seems to do more then my fantom so i will be happy with it
Off the chart! Believe me as I have touched and heard it. It's based on the SuperNova technology but with features that I wished the SuperNova had. This vid does not do it any justice but play with one and it will freak you out.
I've seen these kinda promo vids before and they are usually crap,I never judge anything on these..I will demo one in the store before deciding me thinks..But anyone judging this now without trying is an idiot!!
This is one of the worst 'patronising' promo vids i have ever sat through. I think even the 'kiddies' making dubstep are going to be laughing at you novation...get a grip will ya lol
Totally agree, I have just pre ordered there are some great features for the price...it can get pretty deep if you want it to...not as deep as some of the softsynths...but this is a £500 synth and what you get seems great!
Hope the build quality is ok, this could be a very nice 'alrounder' for people on a budget...daw intergration at this price is a real alternative to Viruses etc..although this is not multi...that wont bother me tbh.
Using this live would be fun too very nice touches.
the user manual is available at novation website... I've read some part of it... this is gonna be a very programmable and capable synth, there are a zillion of features... the promo is really lame anyway!!! terrible demo.
the drummer looks pissed off like he feels stuck playing boring beats to boring music... though a good musician should be able to break new ground within a song/genre... and a great drummer can inspire other bandmates... i hope electronic dance music progresses out of it's incestuous stagnancy...
This video doesn't show how good is the sound of this synth! We need to know how does it sounds.... in the end sound is the most important!!! is not just how many it handle presets and sensitive touch, so on...
No evolution then... same synth engine as the Supernova. Mutton dressed as Lamb?
For the same price, I could get Roland's Gaia and that's not a compliment! I had a SuperNova II for a while, but I always thought it sounded too digital. Yeah, ok, the filters were good, but even with all 3 oscillators on the go it just sounded a bit "static". I ended up selling it for the Alesis ION, which I still rely on.
We have genuine analogue products from Moog and Oberheim - Someone should revive ARP : )
@BroadWaveModular I guess its different strokes for different folks. I had an Alesis Ion for a while and I hated it. I even preferred my little Novation K-Station in many ways. I think the UltraNova looks interesting but not mind blowing. Same goes for the Gaia.
woe..this makes me feel old, seems rather cheesy...really is this a korg...I prefer my knob per function multitimbral ks4...tweak and touch modes look fun all the same.
I couldn't believe my own eyes. I thought Novation quit synths. And finally went back to Blue! I miss my Supernova II 48 voice. This may be my way of bringing Novation back to my studio. I wonder if the old patches work on it. Hope not this is a tactical use of a successful brand, and being a blue version of X-station. I hope this really is based on the Nova series.
I would think the price would increase due to the need of more processing power. I hope they make a bigger one like the Supernova II. Or maby a multi-timbral Rack version as well.
isnt really what i have been hoping for! why not step it up novation and top the supernova!? i have been dreaming of the next big thing from you guys and this is what you bring us! blasphemy!!!

What happened to the color of unit--on the box and in this promo it's a cool bright blue, but in real life it looks more like a dull dark blue. I want the original blue one--is there a choice?

Novation Ultranova vs Roland Gaia. Who would win in a face-off?!
Ultranova has a vocoder. Gaia has a D-Beam. Ultranova has aftertouch. Gaia has more knobs and faders. Ultranova has more space for sound storage. Gaia has combined pitch/modulation controll. Etc etc
Which VA should I get if I am into live performing?
Any thoughts on this?

WTF Doesn't anyone know how to play anymore!!! This synth is great but the demo is horrible. Wobble bass sound forever. No one is playing anything. There are so many people that could have put together a kick ass demo why they chose this is beyond me. I'm still can't wait to get one though.

This has to be the worst promo video ever! Get a player to play it , not some pseud DJ types , including the black girl, playing one note at a time and tweaking ...any clown can do that ... I want to hear it played...
It almost put me off buying one ...

Off the chart! Believe me as I have touched and heard it. It's based on the SuperNova technology but with features that I wished the SuperNova had. This vid does not do it any justice but play with one and it will freak you out.

This is one of the worst 'patronising' promo vids i have ever sat through. I think even the 'kiddies' making dubstep are going to be laughing at you novation...get a grip will ya lol
H4NDCRAFTED 1 year ago
Totally agree, I have just pre ordered there are some great features for the price...it can get pretty deep if you want it to...not as deep as some of the softsynths...but this is a £500 synth and what you get seems great!
Hope the build quality is ok, this could be a very nice 'alrounder' for people on a budget...daw intergration at this price is a real alternative to Viruses etc..although this is not multi...that wont bother me tbh.
Using this live would be fun too very nice touches.
H4NDCRAFTED 1 year ago
the user manual is available at novation website... I've read some part of it... this is gonna be a very programmable and capable synth, there are a zillion of features... the promo is really lame anyway!!! terrible demo.

Make it 3X multi-timberal and offer a 61 key version and I'll buy one.
kidgloves2 1 year ago 23
@kidgloves2
my thoughts exactly.
multi-timbrel
88 key
master keyboard functions like channel assignable zones
full midi controller capabilities
maybe even trigger pads and x-y pad
now we're talkin

the drummer looks pissed off like he feels stuck playing boring beats to boring music... though a good musician should be able to break new ground within a song/genre... and a great drummer can inspire other bandmates... i hope electronic dance music progresses out of it's incestuous stagnancy...

Mono-Timbral == not close to Supernova II
PopsGribs 1 year ago
No evolution then... same synth engine as the Supernova. Mutton dressed as Lamb?
For the same price, I could get Roland's Gaia and that's not a compliment! I had a SuperNova II for a while, but I always thought it sounded too digital. Yeah, ok, the filters were good, but even with all 3 oscillators on the go it just sounded a bit "static". I ended up selling it for the Alesis ION, which I still rely on.
We have genuine analogue products from Moog and Oberheim - Someone should revive ARP : )

johnrozzo 1 year ago
@BroadWaveModular I guess its different strokes for different folks. I had an Alesis Ion for a while and I hated it. I even preferred my little Novation K-Station in many ways. I think the UltraNova looks interesting but not mind blowing. Same goes for the Gaia.

woe..this makes me feel old, seems rather cheesy...really is this a korg...I prefer my knob per function multitimbral ks4...tweak and touch modes look fun all the same.

Eumusic1 1 year ago
I couldn't believe my own eyes. I thought Novation quit synths. And finally went back to Blue! I miss my Supernova II 48 voice. This may be my way of bringing Novation back to my studio. I wonder if the old patches work on it. Hope not this is a tactical use of a successful brand, and being a blue version of X-station. I hope this really is based on the Nova series.

I would think the price would increase due to the need of more processing power. I hope they make a bigger one like the Supernova II. Or maby a multi-timbral Rack version as well.
