Melbourne Instruments Nina [PRE-ORDER]

12-Voice desktop/rack mountable synth module. 

NINA combines the functionality, versatility and compatibility of modern digital equipment with the hands-on tactility and lush sound of classic analog synths. The result is a massive sounding analog polysynth, with an intuitive interface and workflow that gives you more control during composition and live performance.

The combination of two analog VCOs, a Digital Wavetable Oscillator and ‘Moog’ style Ladder Filter gives NINA the undeniable warm, rich sound of classic analog synths.

Feel the difference with haptic feedback

Nina’s motorized controllers bring a new level of tactility to the user experience. The result is the feel, subtlety and precision of a real analog potentiometer, while having instant recall and haptics. 

With haptics, the knobs can change dynamically from smooth to detented to multi-position switches. The end experience is far more useful and engaging than a standard analog pot.

Expressive combinations

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.

MPE mode offers parameters so it can work correctly with popular MPE controllers, and adds a Decay envelope for expressive sound control on MPE Aftertouch and CC74. Expressive E Osmose, Ableton Push 3, Embodme ERAE Touch and Linnstrument are just some examples of the MPE controllers you can connect to NINA.

Waveform and Wavetable Visualizers

Nina’s waveform Visualiser 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 XY view modes are avaiable. The wavetable visualiser provides a simple representation of the available wavetables, making it easier to find the perfect sound.
