Synthonia has introduced a new sound library for the Novation Mininova, The Iconic Sounds Of Vangelis.
The library features 25 timbres, programmed for the Novation Mininova/Ultranova synthesizers, inspired by the music of Vangelis.
Here’s an audio demo that uses the sound library:

Wow! Pay 15% more for synths and equipment using your obscure ponzi-scheme backed currency? Where do I sign up!
Actually if you look at the prices, they’re pretty normal for any online shop. But if you take more than 50 synth coins you actually end up paying less.
On a 2000€ synth that could add up to several hundreds euros saving.
Mmmm, Instant Vangelis, like gooey cheese surrogate in a spray can. It wasn’t the patches anyway; it was the player.
“SynthCoins”, that was a good way for me to click on the site and then immediately leave. They must have a near 100% bounce rate. People don’t have time to convert USD into EURO and then into ‘SynthCoins’. lol. So, people have no idea what the price is. Show it in a currency that people can quickly understand..
real money and knowing the actual cost of something is so last century.
You mean it’s so September 10th.
I don’t even have a Mininova but I want to pirate this just because of the stupid synthcoin shenanigans.
Is the Mininova 86% the size of the original?
I wonder if Vangelis authorized the use of his name and likeness…
You’d think they would, you know, actually look up the word they want to name their website after first, too. Synthonia is totally a thing already, and well… let’s just say that both synthonias smell real bad.
Put a synthcoin in your ass because you played yourself if you fall for this scam.
Get rid of the synthcoins BS and we’ll talk. Otherwise bye.
I just thought it sounded nice (as opposed to the more usual Space4Keys Jordan Rudess/Dream Theater bootlicking.) I really don’t care about all this economic controversy. I don’t think it’s the point. This chintzy little monotimbral synth puts out sound rivaling a CS-80. I think it’s a right celebration of Novation technology.
Well it’s all theoritical now anyway. If you actually try to add something to your cart, an error pops up and the website won’t load again until you clear your cookies ‘and similar technologies.’ Indeed.
Might have been better if they used crypto-currency that is wide usage.
I doubt Vangelis backed this as he is a bit anti-capitalism and fame…. I can’t see him agreeing at all..
Yeah, this looks like a situation where he could come after them for using his name, like Kraftwerk did a few years ago against a company that made a Krafwerk sound library.
