At a Glance
Nina will have a whopping 12-voice analog polysynth with two VCOs with all its bells and whistles, a together with a mixer with a blending option between the oscillators, as you see in the Modal Argon and other recently released synths, as well as XOR cross-modulation. There is also a variable-shaped filter with its own ADSR, a VCA with an ADSR, and a number of effects.
The concept is exciting and quite interesting, bridging even closer the analogue world to some of the commodities of the digital. As I mentioned before, in a number of today’s hardware synthesizers, when you load a new preset, the knobs don’t necessarily reflect the position of these saved settings, so the moment you touch the knobs your sound is totally disfigured by a swift change in parameters, this is a clever solution for this exact same problems. There aren’t a lot of specs out there yet but we are excited to see more of these in the wild.
The developer claims that Nina is a desktop synth that was designed to fit inside a 19” rack making it easy to incorporate into your usual studio rack.
Hang on to your hats for when the Nina hits the stores, studios and stages.
