In many respects, the UltraNova is a modernised version of the SuperNova, an early virtual analogue classic.

However, to describe the UltraNova as a virtual analogue synth doesn't really do it justice in terms of the range of sounds it can produce. Simple analogue-style sounds are easy to program, but digging a bit further reveals digital FM effects, chiptune-style 8-bit timbres, great evolving wavetable sounds and a range of heavily modulated modern virtual analogue patches.

With a powerful synth engine, built-in vocoder and effects, audio interface and VST integration, the UltraNova is an excellent option for anyone who’s looking to step outside of the computer box.
