Comments about Novation UltraNova Analog Modelling Synthesizer:
I am in a band and use the Ultranova to play live and record. It is actually really easy to get started and the menus are easy to navigate. I also have a seperate MIDI keyboard and I'm able to run the sound straight into the Ultranova allowing me to only need one channel for all my equipment. It is well built, beautiful looking, and the sound is very powerful.

I've only had a few hours to mess with this board but I have to say I love it. I haven't made it through even a third of the patches without creating a little melody. Sync's right up to Apple Logic Express. The price is great too!!
