    They’re still making the Mininova, many years after they ditched the Ultranova. They still make the Bass Station 2. They still make the Microkorg. The Ultranova is ugly blue but beats ’em all. It does VA, wavetable, USB powered, a controller VST for your DAW, direct USB audio into DAW. But lawdy, lawdy, it’s an ugly blue synthesizer if ever we saw one.. 😎
