I just got one yesterday. I appreciate you posting this, it helped me get a better understanding of the features. I'm mostly a guitar guy and this is my first synth.

[nevillepark]

Much appreciate the "measured" in depth detail. Nice to find a man who understands not only its functions but ventures a musicians mindset on creation - and without unnecessary diatribe.With most you tube offerings I get the underlying sense a lot of folks are on a quest for validation. I have the sense you're already wearing your big boy pants.(No dispersion intended to Angus Young of course) Thanx again! This item is second in the cue as money, determined to be well spent.

Is it me, or is it strange that this entire demo is video'd upside down?

[blipblip]

One of the best demos on this keyboard. Ta.

This accents speeds up learning. I really do not know why. Thanks

[SpyroFan]

It's a very nice synth. They did what Korg did with the ms2000 and the microkorg.

I cannot wait to get one of these or maybe the ultranova. I love the metallic, sharp sound. This will compliment the Roland jd xi really well I think. This thing just looks so nice too. If the keys were full size, it would be a grand slam. Imagine these sounds with some great effects. Man, I love these little mini synths and other drum machines. It's all I have and prefer. You can make just as good of music with these, as much as the huge, expensive one's. Just listen to the first sound he is playing. You are not going to get much better with a synth that is way more money than this, guaranteed.

I wish Ross Geller from friends was doing the demo

[bobbyyurczyszyn]

Got mine a few months ago and it's amazing!!! Up next I'm gonna get the Roland JD-XI I'm sure they will coplament each other

[blackmusicalmind]

I was comparing this vs the classic Korg microkorg synthesizer in my cart on Sweetwater trying to choose between the two because they are the same price and have many of the same basic features. This one finally won me over after watching this video because of the ease of use, wider range of preset effects, and the larger library of preset sounds. Can't wait to actually get my hands on one

[timfoster]

I bought one, I was going to buy an amp for home use then tried my hifi, sounds fantastic, B&W speakers

[NICK]

Excellent explanation / demo....Thank you.

[noodlingaround]

I want a keyboard which has lots of knobs, sliders and possibilities to change sound whilst playing. I like chill and ambient and this is in my price range. Do you think this is the right choice for my needs? Many thanks

[adriaanlaurijsen]

Great, finally what I was looking for online. I just got mine a week ago and needed some help with some of the features. Thanks for posting, it's a powerful little synthesizer (too bad for the mini keys)

[bestrickie]

I've just bot one of these, BRILLIANT is the least I can say. Is there a way of spitting the keyboard to have sounds one end of the keyboard & another at the other end? Cheers

[oddprimemusic]

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I suppose a little wiggle room is good- don't want the knobs to break off too easily. I kid, but thank you. I think I'm finally 100% sure on buying the MiniNova now.

[Synthematix]

Its a beautiful looking synth, efinately buying one of these, keep up the good work novation, this destroys the korg

[kingjellybeans]

Some of my presets are jumping to others for instance If I press preset 23 and want to go to 24 it just skips up to let's say 39 without any other of the ones in between being accessed. Do you have any idea what is causing this?
Thanks

[lapasteque]

i've just had it too, great machine, and so nice ;)

[infeCtedRonald]

I'm waiting for Bass Station ii so maybe you can do a comparison. Nice vid :)
