Novation MoroderNova 37-Key Synthesizer

Giorgio Moroder is the man who defined the sound of synth pop and disco, and blazed a trail for electronic innovation in popular music. Giorgio chose to use the Novation MiniNova for his recent American DJ debut at Deep Space in NYC and so the idea to collaborate on a new limited-edition Novation synth seemed obvious. Based on the MiniNova, MoroderNova is pre-loaded with Moroder-approved synth patches from his greatest productions. The numbered run of 500 signature MoroderNovas have a custom design and come with a certificate of authenticity.
