Melbourne Instruments NINA 12 Voice Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer

Description NINA is a cutting-edge desktop/rack-mountable synth module, merging the analogue warmth of classic synths with the flexibility of modern digital technology. Boasting 12 voices and 4-part multi-timbral capability, NINA combines two analogue VCOs with a digital wavetable oscillator for rich, layered sounds. Its unique motorised and haptic feedback control panel provides an unprecedented tactile experience, while features like MPE compatibility, A/B patch morphing, and an extensive modulation matrix allow unmatched creative possibilities. NINA’s intuitive interface is designed to inspire, making it perfect for both studio composition and live performance. Motorised & Haptic Controls: NINA’s innovative motorised knobs offer the precision feel of traditional potentiometers with modern automation. With haptic feedback, knobs dynamically shift between smooth, detented, and switch modes, adapting instantly to recalled settings. Using brushless drone motors and optical sensors, these controllers are built to last, rated for over 50 million cycles, ensuring reliable performance that exceeds conventional designs. Multi-Timbral Polyphony & Patch Morphing: NINA’s 12-voice, 4-part multi-timbral configuration and patch morphing enable expansive sound design. The A/B morphing function allows for seamless transitions between patches, giving players flexibility and freedom in creating new timbres. Each voice supports multiple layers, with independent control over modulation and effects, ideal for complex, evolving compositions and expressive, multi-zonal MPE setups. Oscillators, Filters & Effects: With 3 oscillators per voice—2 analogue VCOs and 1 high-resolution digital wavetable—NINA offers a diverse tonal palette. A ‘Moog’-style ladder VCF and stereo VCA with through-zero capabilities further enhance its sonic range. Classic onboard effects, combined with the modulation matrix, add rich textures to your sound, with full control over panning, ADSR envelopes, and detailed modulation destinations to shape each note. Key Features: Motorised Control Panel: Unique motorised, haptic knobs for an authentic feel with instant recall, allowing fluid transitions and precise sound shaping. 400 Factory Presets: Over 400 presets with capacity for 16,000, including exclusive MPE preset packs designed for NINA and compatible MPE controllers. Waveform Visualiser: See sound evolve in real-time with dynamic oscilloscopes and wavetable visualisers for clear, intuitive sound design.
