Melbourne Instruments Nina is a 12-voice analog polyphonic and multi-timbral synthesizer featuring revolutionary motorized controls and patch recall that finally enables the realtime control surface display and automation that synth players have dreamt of for decades.
Nina combines the lush thick sound qualities and hands-on tactility of classic analog synths with the versatility, advanced functionality and MIDI compatibility usually only found on modern digital equipment. The result is an intelligent yet unique-sounding analog synth you can seamlessly integrate into your creative workflow and live performance to enjoy modern soft synth functionality from a real, physical instrument.
The combination of two analog VCOs, a digital wavetable oscillator and Moog-style ladder filter gives Nine the undeniable warm, rich sound of classic analog synths. The VCOs' waveforms are morphable between triangle, sawtooth and blend with the pulse wave, while the high-resolution digital oscillator allows you to load your own wavetables.
Nina's motorized knobs instantly update to pre-defined positions anytime you change patch and adjust automatically during console operation, patch morphing and modulation to accurately display current settings. These knobs even have the ability to instantly switch between a rotary dial and a multiple position switch to better cater for what you’re controlling and the amount of variance required.
Nina makes 12 analog voices of MPE playing possible, combining MPE functionality with Nina's 4 multi-timbral layers. Stacked presets can be MPE controlled, or multiple MPE zones, controllers or standard MIDI keyboards can be assigned different channels. Expressive E Osmose, Ableton Push 3, Embodme ERAE Touch and Roger Linn Design Linnstrument are just some examples of the MPE controllers you can connect to Nina.
Nina's waveform visualizer allows you to see shapes evolving as you create them and allows a better understanding of the dynamics of Nina's spin and panning features. Oscilloscope and X/Y view modes are available. The wavetable visualizer provides a simple representation of the available wavetables, making it easier to find the perfect sound.
