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.

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.

At the heart of electronic music lies the synthesizer — a tool of limitless creativity. From fat analogue basslines and sweeping pads to gritty FM textures and modular experimentation, our range of synths covers every sonic territory. Whether you’re chasing vintage warmth, modern digital precision, or the hands-on joy of knob-per-tweak design, you’ll find something here to inspire. We stock everything from portable groove boxes and desktop mono synths to powerful polys and rare collector’s pieces — ideal for studio producers, performers, sound designers, and synth obsessives alike.
