Melbourne Instruments' description of the Melbourne Instruments NINA 12-voice analog polysynth with motorized controls.
NINA: ANALOG AND MAGNETIC.
NINA is the world’s first fully motorized analog synthesizer. Synth players have dreamt of this feature for decades, and now it’s finally available. Instantly recall your presets and layers, see exactly how the sound was created, or pick up from where you were last working.
Musicians, Producers & Sound Designers can finally enjoy the flexibility of Soft Synth control from a real, physical instrument.
What makes NINA different?
NINA combines the tactile and sonic qualities of classic analog synths with modern functionality, patch recall, [motorized knobs based on drone motor technology], and automation.
