When a synth sounds this good in multiple demos- on both a mobile phone speaker- and a full range speaker setup- it is a pretty good sign you’ve stumbled onto something special.
Future classic…and that is before you get to the minimalist yet innovative interface.
Excellent demonstration. I own one, too. Now I have 3 korgs, a roland and a few others that I don't use anymore. Selling them is more difficult than replacing them.
Great to see you finally got your hands on a NINA! Thanks for sharing.
You have really built a revolutionary synthesizer! Already a classic! Curious to see what else you come up with! 🤖👍
Excellent review as always. Very impressed by the very good sound demos. Thank you very much ! See you very soon please :)
Thanks for the great video, Nina really is inspiring. I would love to see more videos of it. By the way, I am curious with how you used the wavetable oscillator to make your bass in your demo, it sounds great! Thanks
🎧😲 WOWZERS!!! What a great demo man!! Really tickles my whiskers!! 😁 This sounds friggin incredible!! 🤯🐀
🦘Power! 🤖
I own one and absolutely love it. I'm not a synth expert but it gives me happiness
The nice thing about happiness is, that it also works without being an expert! Synth Wisdom of the day! 😁
Thanks for an another great demo, personally I find those 4K & more synths too pricey to consider to buy for a hobbyst. They sound good and all, but there are many less expensive synths (digital, hybrid and even analog) that do this too.
PS. Answearing to your question I would like to see a comparision video with a Waldorf M or maybe a Kodamo Mask 1.
Every video I've watched about the NINA makes me want one, but it's outside of my budget. Thankfully, I can get similar sounds to the glorious pads that the NINA excels at from my Waldorf STVC - but the NINA is way more versatile than the STVC could ever be.
1:16 - 1:19 … I thought you were playing the intro/riff from Don’t Change, by the Australian Band, INXS … If you make a Part 2/ Wavetable comparison video featuring Nina, you know what to do … 😉☺️. The motorised knobs remind me of my Soldano Caswell X99 Preamp … 😎👍🏼. Very cool. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!! ☺️
Cool song! 👍
Another fantastic vid dude. Re: synths to demo, I'd love to hear your take on the UDO Super Gemini. It's expensive, but my god is it not gorgeous??
I am in the waiting loop for the first demo unit arriving in Germany! So stay tuned! 🤖
Hello sir. Hope to see u review the Behringer Kobol expander if you are able to get your hands on one.
As usual, I was one of the first to order one at Thomann. So as son as it arrives, I will make a review!
OK, now I want a midi controller with this type of knobs!!! 😱It's crazy to see how knobs changes behaviour according to the software settings.
And you won't really dig it before you try it in person! It just feels totally real, like a top quality knob. I did not even realize that the Main Volume knob was a conventional pot until a friend found it out! Almost everyone, even people who do not care about synths and tech, were totally fascinated! They really made something totally outstanding with this technology!
Hmmm... presumably the Nina also outputs MIDI as well as receive? Otherwise it wouldn't be able to synchronise with a DAW or app, I would have thought... 🤔
I've always dreamed of a synth that had motorized pots. I can really make use of mult-timbrality without getting lost and edit and automate my presets so easily. Is it easy to see the the modulation routings when switching presets? Such emotional sounds too - those rich saturated high pitched sounds really get to me. I think i'm going to have to get one! Have you tried MPE with it yet? Can you sort of make it 8 voice multi-timbral if you use the A/B preset morph function - mixing 2 sounds for each voice? A comparison with the groove 3rd wave would be great.
A lot of questions! Let's see if I can address some of them in a video!
@@winesynths Great. I'm not quite convinced about Nina's sound yet. I'd like to see it vs the Walforf M wavetables.
Wow, that was a real joy to watch and listen to. I'd love to know if the Nina would be able to "replace" a Dave Smith/Sequential Poly Evolver regarding sound (leaving the effects out of course). Dankeschön
I never had the opportunity to play a Poly Evolver and I would really like to try one! So I keep my eyes open!
Nina replaced my polyevolver. I wish I could have kept both. I’m loving Nina. But I miss my PEK+PER combo too
No, Nina is not a replacement for PEK/PER. It is overall much better sounding synth (better than any Sequential BTW), but Polyevolver has certain capabilities that make it total keeper. Polyevolver is unique and epithome of Dave Smith genius. Nina is miracle, absolutely underestimated almost unknown instrument.
@@didadere7212Evolvers sound limp like a Prophet 08 with VS waves and extremely limited polyphony. The synth is exceptional but it's core sound is weaker than even the Pro VS Mini.
Nina and C15 are the 2 synths of my dreams. Nina sounds so good. The take5 has a darker, richer vibe like Nina too. Off topic: Imo, the solina string machine sounds like a pipe organ machine which is special. Edit: The motorized knob recalibration is crazy wild. This might be the one time I agree with the price. I still cannot afford it. Lol.
Nina is a very special synth, and I was positively surprised! Concerning the Solina: it originated as a part of a traditional electronic organ. So no wonder, that sometimes you feel like Johann Sebastian! 😁
Goodness OMG ❤❤❤ Isn't this the best thing that happened after Jupiter 8 in terms of pure raw sound. It is a bargain.
This is a great synth. I love the innovative technology they implemented in NINA, innovation is always welcome. Have you considered to get the E7 from GS music?. I think it sounds amazing, it is one from my wish list, as well as NINA, I would get them both :). I like your videos by the way, I am subscribed already.
Cheers from Chile!.
Olá! The GS E7 looks great, and I would like to try one! But it's difficult to get hands on in Europe! Now I'm in the mood for a glass of Carmenere! Cheers! 🥂
@@winesynths oh I didn’t know it was hard for you, I read they shipped worldwide from their page. Anyway, Carmenere, my favorite variety :) cheers!.
I have the E7 and love it. The creamy warm sound I have never heard before. But its quite limited so I think to get the Nina as my 2nd poly analog. Problem: its hard to find s shop here in Switzerland where i can try the Nina.
@@nicogrubert great to know. I really wish to get a Studio Electronics Code 8, but it is too expensive. I prefer to pay for the OB-X8 which cost even less and it includes a premium keyboard. Maybe one day. For the moment the E7 seems to be one of the best alternatives. I am not sure if I will get the Ob or this one first, but I will get both this year, that’s my goal at least :)
@@Donetur The OB-X8 did not impress me yet, sound-wise as well as the user interface. But I will give it a try in a shop as they are ready for testing in mos shops. The E7 is easy to use but the preset handling is kinda unintuitive and drives my crazy sometimes. But the OSC sound and filter is a dream.
what about the noise floor on this? i read some stuff about it being relatively high? if you use balanced cables, do you also need to have balanced inputs on your interface (what interface are you using?)
True! Balanced cables are a must with this one!
Heavy sounding great synth.
do you still like this synth? kept it?
Lovely synth, sounds great. Thanks for sharing
I will say (and I'll preface this with saying my eyesight is bad) if I ever got one I'd change those keycaps right away, partly because of color preference but mostly for clarity. A white/beige cap would be much better, orange caps on orange lights seems a bit odd to me. Alternatively they could have made the LEDs white or something if they wanted to keep the orange caps.
That's true! Or a white light instead. 🤖
Red is the perfect LED color for both high and low light scenarios. Especially valuable in a fully darkened studio or club situation.
Nina is part submarine console and she wears her colors well.
why is the main synth playing all in mono?
Main Mono? Common... the video is 35 minutes long... 🤓
make a 61key version and you got a customer
Uuuu.... killer con the arp that doesnt realy work with DAW 😢 and the conventional master knob 😜 but a great gear 🥰
Just in case you need a justification not to buy one! Unfortunately, Melbourne already told me that they are aware of the Arp-Sync problem and that it will be fixed soon! 😁
-1 turn off fx in demos > even a microkorg sounds good through an eventide
It really sounds awesome. But unfortunately far beyond my budget.
I live in Melbourne and feel like owning one of these is my duty. Anyone need a kidney? Some signs of use but still functioning...
Come visit us in Abbotsford. No surgery required!
@@melbourneinstruments Haha. Sadly I'm cash poor. But rich in well-loved organs so I still have hope one will be mine someday! You did amazing work with this, it's great to see something so innovative come from home.
I have just built a new sound studio in Perth and would love to add this, I might pop by when I’m back over in Melbourne it looks like a great synth 👍🏻
Hi I'm in Melbourne too! Is it possible to replace the red keys with white???
@@melbourneinstruments
🤣🤣
It sounds kind of buzzy almost all of the time everywhere I hear it... I suppose it's part of the synth "character"?
Buzzy? Mmmmh. I did not find it buzzy at all! 😁🐝
@@winesynths I mean not the unpleasant unfiltered sawtooth wave kind of buzzy, it's more like a multitude of the lower-frequency soft "clicks". Some kind of undertones / LFO stuff? It can be quite pleasant occasionally, but not sure if I'd want it to be a permanent part of the sound.
Richtiges Quatschfest.
