Melbourne Instruments designs performance synthesisers with motorised controls that can recall and physically show parameter positions. The catalogue includes NINA, a twelve-voice analogue polysynth, and Delia, a motorised morphing polysynth, giving the range a strong focus on expressive hands-on programming and repeatable live recall. Compare voice count, oscillator and filter architecture, modulation, keyboard or desktop format, sequencing and MIDI connections for the exact model. These instruments suit players who want the immediacy of a knob-per-function interface with the convenience of stored patches.

Explore hardware synthesisers for sound design, performance and music production. This collection includes analogue, digital, hybrid, FM and wavetable instruments in keyboard, desktop and modular formats. Compare the synthesis method, polyphony, keybed, sequencer, effects and MIDI or CV connectivity to find an instrument that fits your studio, live setup and preferred way of creating sounds.
Tags
Products using analogue sound-generation or signal-processing circuitry, also commonly written as analog. Analogue instruments shape continuously varying electrical signals and are often chosen for direct controls, natural variation and a character that responds organically to performance and modulation.
Products using digital sound generation, processing or control. Digital instruments can offer precise recall, extensive polyphony, sampling and complex synthesis methods, often combining a wide tonal range with compact hardware and flexible modulation.
Instruments capable of playing multiple notes or voices at the same time. Polyphony supports chords, layered pads and overlapping notes, although the available voice count and how voices are allocated vary between instruments.
Products centred on electronic sound generation and synthesis. This tag brings together keyboard, desktop, modular and performance instruments that create or substantially shape their own sounds rather than serving only as controllers.
