MiniNova : Impressive bit of kit!

10 years ago

I am a guitarist first and foremost with minimal experience of synths. I bought this unit for some experimenting in my band (I play in a funk band and a Prog Rock band).

First thing I noticed was how small the keys were! It's like playing a toddlers keyboard toy from Toys R Us expect that the sound is an absolute beast. The Mininova is small but looks beautiful. The quality of the knobs/buttons/wheels etc are fantastic.

The main reason for this purchase was the Vocoder and for me, its perfect. The Mic is very good quality and extremely sturdy whilst connected. The amount of control it gives you over the sound can (for me) be overwhelming at times, but the manual is very clear to understand.

The only thing that has been a struggle for me is to find something koto stand it on as the size won't lend itself to a normal keyboard stand. I have ordered a Projector stand on Amazon and hopefully this should be perfect for what I need it for.

Overall I'd say that this keyboard is an absolute Gem for its price and you can just sit and play for hours. I was worried about getting a power adapter for it but it is possible to just power this off USB (I use an iPhone wall charger) which again is great!

Glad I chose this product! Especially for the price!!!!
