Novation UltraNova

The Sound Designer's Dream

The Sound Designer's Dream UltraNova is our most advanced, configurable and controllable synth, designed to create new, unique and edgy sounds, plus all the classics you'd expect from a Nova-series synth

Create Truly Unique Sounds

This is our most ambitious synth to date. It takes our legendary SuperNova analogue-modelling synth engine, and enhances it to vastly increase its sonic capabilities. The result is a synth that can create sounds that are simply impossible with other synths in its class.

• Three oscillators, noise and ring modulation for making your sounds as rich as possible.

• Classic waveforms and cutting edge wavetables for creating classic and unique new sounds.

• Two routable multi-mode filters for flexible sound sculpting.

• 6 Envelopes, 3 LFOs and 20 slot modulation matrix for almost unlimited programming capabilities.

• 18-voice polyphony for playing complex synth lines and chords

Touch n' Tweak

UltraNova's patches are more than just static presets. Each is set up with up to eight parameters, which can be tweaked or totally warped using touch-sensitive encoders. Tweak to alter the brightness or dial in some grit, or touch to trigger subtle movement in your sound, or seriously warp it into something completely different.

Helping you find your new sound

Music making is all about the journey, and we’re always looking for new ways to inspire you along the way. That’s why we’ve created the Sound Collective. Receive free versions of the most innovative software instruments and creative FX from developers we admire, as well as discounts to help you make the most of third-party software, exclusive to Novation customers. All you have to do is register your Novation gear, and one offer will be featured in your Novation account every couple of months.
