not very deep review though, but positive through and through.

There's also one in the currend SOS issue. the guy seems to be totally amazed of the vocoder in general and the voice tune in particular, saying it is not far from antares

i just stumbled across the auto-tune live plugin, but it totally annoys me that i need to get an ilok just for demoing it. also, together with the ilok its already half the price of a mininova... i think i can get my hands on a mininova this weekend.

oh, and in the SOS review it's clearly stated that novation is not planning to implement voice tune into an ultranova update.

Non German speaking should consider themselves lucky. Reviewer tries to be funny, witty but ends up stupid and irritating, practically unreadable, whatever substance he takes, I dont want to try it. Normally Germans are really excellent at reviewing products ( I always liked English magazines for music, artists interviews etc and German for technicalities) this is just the worst German review I ever seen.

He's just totally high on Blasmusik i guess

But yeah i feel you. It's really beer tent humour and the review doesn't address a lot of essential points. He received a lot of criticism in the comments as well. The SOS review is a joy to read and is much deeper. But the guy who wrote it gets paid for it.

But honestly, i still didn't understand what kind of synthesis the mininova actually uses. I think it's a VA plus wavetables, but it doesn't have FM if i am not mislead. That would be actually quite poor for a synth that has a genre selector with a dubstep category. But i guess thats just the way you sell synths nowadays.

to be fair the engine is good enough, it's va with standard waveforms and some wavetables, lots of modulaton options, a tons of fx and filter models.

and..another mystery stuff, going to be announced on Monday. The color scheme reminds me of the old Bass Station Keyboard.

Yeah, thats definitely the bass station light blue there.
I hope its not with a shitty mini keyboard.

It's a hardware DAW designed for heavy metal fans. It allows them to press one button and it makes a trance song for them.

another clue

Bass Station II

500 USD? Hell yeah! Suck this, minibrute!

Yeah. So glad I didn't jump on the minibrute.

Some nice tunes there!

Nice, but no CV/Gate however... something the Minibrute has.
