Product Review I bought this for the vocoder feature mostly. It performs pretty well. However the synth patches are subpar and the overall audio quality is not as good as i hoped for. It's supposed to double as an audio interface, but its rather complicated.

Product Review I am really happy with this synth. It is very flexible and easy to use. I've already recorded one song with it. I can't wait to get back to recording with it.

Product Review I love this thing. Works very well and I have traveled a lot with it. Very durable, I am not exactly easy on things. I break literally everything and this has taken a beating and I have used it for years day in day out. In terms of sound quality I love it, very unique with its touch and tweak pads, I can move around the extremely deep menus and get MASSIVE sound. If you like HUGE sounds this thing will eat much of what you throw at it. So many cool things you can do with it. You can listen to what I created with it on my Ep Life lessons from Itunes and Spotify and my album that is coming out shortly. Love it. I want to buy a second one just so when it breaks ill have another one. Just because of this synth I love Novation.

Product Review You can literally produce ANY sound with this amazing synthesizer. Start from scratch and it's like making a cake from scratch (except easier) and sounds so much better than I can really even describe! Rich, full-bodied sound that fills the room (or venue). Very well made with a key-bed made in Italy, you're not going to get much better than this in the quality department. Everything is solid, buttons feel good, mod/pitch wheels work perfectly and promptly. Touch sensitive controls that are a blast to work with to alter subtleties within the sound itself. I just can't say enough good things about this amazing synthesizer. Ordering was prompt and courteous - received in perfect condition - I will be buying any and all of my music gear from AMS in the future.

high quality, nice build. loads of features. vocoder, audio interface, midi controller, expandable synth, voodoo blue,etc... comes with a printed manual which is nice. automap makes it easy to sync up with your favorite DAW or plugin. dark and rich like expensive coffee. I dunno...I took it out of the box it did'nt do much on it's own except look blue. seems costly at first but once you realize it's versatility and depth that goes out the window. I mean a synth with fresh modifiable sounds with a built in audio interface w/ midi?...what else could you want?...well a shoe box full of twenties would be nice.

Ultranova!

First impression is that.. it's plastic, but most synths are these days, so it's not that big of a deal. This scored 4 stars just for this fact. Overall, I can see this synth lasting a long time, I just wouldn't recommend dropping it too often. More than enough features available. I haven't had a chance to use the audio interface on this yet, so I can't comment on that. I absolutely LOVE the touch sensors; very awesome idea and really makes it a blast to play. This isn't a one trick pony, there are some good things here, but that just gets me every time I play it. I would love to see a 49 or 61 key version. Oh and of course the vocoder! Sounds great and the gooseneck mic is a nice addition. I'm not really sure how practical it will be in a live situation with all the sound on stage, but maybe. In my experience using vocoders live I have also used a gate before running into it. Very easy to use. It can be slightly annoying to edit parameters using only the synth though. BUT, there is the software editor that I would give 10 stars for easily! The Ultranova has a sound of its own (think how a Virus sounds like a Virus), well it's the same thing here. Of course you can emulate the old analog synths, but this pushes the limits much further and brings you some complex and original sounds. The Ultranova filter can get REALLY gritty sounding. I absolutely love it. The keys feel like your average synth keys. Nothing special here. Great value! I feel the Ultranova and Venom are the two synths in competition right now and I was more than happy with spending the extra money and getting the Ultranova. Well worth every penny!!

The build quality of novation items have gone down in the last few years, but theyve brought back quality from china lots, arp yes tone is good, synth is better lame every penny well spent
