The Novation Mininova gives you a good amount of control right from its front panel: Multiple Filter types, two Envelopes, FX, and the Arpeggiator. The build quality is very good, it’s USB-powered, and it’s a great synth on its own. If you need something portable, this is an excellent option.

Novation Mininova Strengths:

  • Simple to Use
