Novation, a renowned British music equipment manufacturer known for its synthesizers, MIDI controllers, and audio interfaces. Founded in 1992, Novation gained early recognition with the release of the Bass Station synthesizer, which offered a versatile analogue mono synth experience. Over the years, Novation has continued to innovate, producing popular instruments such as the Supernova series, which became staples of electronic music production in the late 1990s and early 2000s due to their lush, polyphonic sound and powerful modulation capabilities.

Today, Novation is particularly well-known for its Launchpad series of grid-based controllers, which revolutionized live electronic music performance and production workflows by offering a hands-on interface for triggering clips and samples in software like Ableton Live. The company’s Launchkey MIDI keyboards and Circuit groove-boxes also provide versatile tools for musicians and producers, combining deep integration with DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) and standalone capabilities for on-the-go creativity. Novation’s commitment to user-friendly design, affordability, and innovation has cemented its place as a key player in the electronic music world.

Analogue

An analogue synthesiser is a type of electronic instrument that generates sound through analogue circuitry, using voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), filters, and amplifiers to create and manipulate audio signals. Unlike digital synthesizers, which use binary code and samples to produce sounds, analogue synths rely on continuous electrical signals, resulting in a warm and rich tonal quality often associated with classic music production. The sound generation process typically involves shaping waveforms, such as sawtooth, square, or sine waves, which can be further modified using various modulation techniques, allowing musicians to create a diverse range of sounds and textures.

Analogue synthesizers often feature hands-on controls, such as knobs, sliders, and switches, providing a tactile and intuitive interface for sound design. This direct interaction allows musicians to manipulate parameters in real-time, fostering creativity and experimentation during live performances or studio sessions. Although they may require more effort to program compared to their digital counterparts, analogue synthesizers are cherished for their unique character, unpredictability, and the organic nature of their sound, making them a favourite among electronic musicians, composers, and sound designers seeking to capture the essence of classic synthesis in their work.

Synthesizer

A synthesizer, often abbreviated as synth, is an electronic musical instrument that generates and manipulates sound electronically. Synthesizers create sound through various methods, including subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis, frequency modulation synthesis, and wavetable synthesis, among others. They typically feature oscillators to produce raw waveforms, filters to sculpt the timbre, envelopes to shape the sound’s amplitude, and modulation sources to add movement and complexity.

Synthesizers offer a vast range of sounds, from classic analog tones to futuristic digital textures, and are used in a wide array of musical genres, from electronic and pop to rock and film scoring. With their versatility and expressive capabilities, synthesizers are essential tools for musicians, producers, and sound designers seeking to explore and create innovative sonic landscapes.
