MELBOURNE INSTRUMENTS NINA
12 Voice / Morphing / 4 Part Multi-timbral / Multi-track Sequencer
Analog Soul. Infinite Possibilities.
Discrete analog VCOs, ladder filter, wavetable, and the full Braids engine - 45 models across 12 voices.
Layers of sound, all at once.
Four synths sharing twelve voices. Switch between them and the knobs jump to that sound.
Every knob moves to exactly
where you left it.
Motorized knobs that move to your patch, follow the modulation, and play back your automation. Your session, made physical.
Create, sequence, perform.
Four polyrhythmic tracks. The knobs play back your movements physically. A self-contained sonic powerhouse.
NINA adds 12 polyphonic voices of Braids
Melbourne Instruments has added the complete Mutable Instruments Braids engine - Émilie Gillet’s celebrated open-source macro oscillator - to our NINA polysynth.
Braids was originally a mono Eurorack module - one voice, no internal filter, no modulation routing. On NINA, it becomes something else entirely. Switch layers and the motorised knobs snap to new positions. Morph between patches and they sweep in real time. Every modulation routing is visible on the panel the moment you select it. Braids has never been this hands-on.
This is what a synthesizer should feel like - every parameter, alive
NINA gets out of the way, so you can get into the sound. Motorised knobs that move to the patch, show you the modulation, follow the morph, and play back your automation. An advanced sound design engine, twelve analog voices and four-part multi-timbral. Create new sounds without stopping to think about the synth.
Raw Analog Power.
Two discrete-transistor VCOs. Moog-style transistor ladder filter. Digital wavetable oscillator. Mutable Instruments Braids engine. An endless array of sounds from fat analog to granular textures to formant synthesis.
Powerful Multi-Track Sequencer
NINA’s new multi-track sequencer delivers next-gen groovebox power with four independent polyrhythmic, polyphonic tracks. With per-step automation and motorized control, it brings hands-on precision to sequencing. This supercharges NINA’s analog synth engine, unlocking deeper performance possibilities.
Add 64 new noise types — from percussive hits to loopable metallic textures and you’ve got a powerful tool for expressive sound design and dynamic rhythm creation. Watch now
Innovation + Inspiration
Nina is designed to be a joy to work & play with. We’ve combined modern technology and automation to enhance the playing experience, allowing you to be freer to focus on the music.
• Motorised, automatable, assignable control panel
• Recallable and easy-to-use Modulation Matrix
• 12-Voice Polyphony and MPE compatibility
• Classic onboard effects
• 400+ factory presets and storage for up to 16,000!
Hear every gesture, with twelve voices of MPE.
Pitch, pressure, slide - per note, per finger, across all four layers.
Connect an Osmose, Linnstrument, or any MPE controller and nothing is lost.
We recently teamed with Expressive E and sound designer, James Terris, to create an exclusive MPE Preset pack, crafted just for the Osmose X NINA combination. And now with the addition of Morph Modulation, MPE capabilities are continually improving!
Multi-timbral Setups & Sounds
Matt Johnson demonstrates how you can use Nina’s multi-timbral configurations, with multiple layers, multiple keyboards and Nina’s A/B morphing to create some sweet sounds. Check out Matt’s full Nina preview on his youtube channel. NINA: Not just a pretty face!
Nina Presets designed by Matt are available - Download from our Presets page.
Touch the real parameter, not just an encoder.
15,000 steps of contactless optical resolution.
No stepping, no grain, no dead zones.
The gap between your fingers and the sound disappears.
Waveform and Wavetable Visualizers
Nina’s waveform Visualiser allows you to see shapes evolving as you create them, and allows a better understanding of the dynamics of Nina’s SPIN and panning features. Oscilloscope and XY view modes are avaiable.
The wavetable visualiser provides a simple representation of the available wavetables, making it easier to find the perfect sound.
