Sounds like a glorified wah-wah pedal - there's a whole lotta wee-wahin' goin' on
Sounds like a bit of a one trick pony sort of thing
A demo does not a synth make, as we saw (and sadly heard) with the Andersons video on the Behringer UB-Xa.
What I took from the Nina short teaser wasn't the sound or the capabilities of the engine but the fact that someone has designed and implemented automated motorised knobs.
This
could be a huge thing and with respect I think some previous repliers to the topic are overlooking the implications.
I could waffle on as to why but I'll raise two salient points:
1) Look at what fader automation did for mixing desks
2) Analogue synth hardware suffers from a limitation that when recalling a preset the physical knobs on the control surface don't reflect the current settings
This is why features such as a dot next to a parameter value on an LCD indicates the knob not matching the preset value, and why we have global settings to determine whether a knob is going to jump to a new value when turned or whether to remain ineffective until the existing value is met during the operation of turning it.
Of course plugins/softsynths can do it already but for those of us with analogue (and even digital-with-knobs) synth hardware the potential is a very exciting prospect indeed.
All the above aside, I still want to know more about the synth that is Nina and will keep a weather-eye (ear?) open!
