I need a midi keyboard for my daw (cubase). I’m thinking about the Novation MiniNova because I tried it and it’s so damn fun. Anybody try it?

Looks like the USB cable will send midi information. Anybody know if it will send volume info and pitch bend, mod wheel? Any of the synth parameters too?

How about using it with the 1/4” input for bass or guitar? If it tracks well on bass and sounds like a great synth pedal then I’d be sold. I think I’ll stop by the store tomorrow and see if I can try that.

Hi considering the same keyboard, have you made some progress with this. Personally i’ll Be doubling the bass, but would also like to connect it to my DAW CUBASE.

I never bought one and am still looking for something to use with cubase as well. I tried plugging a bass into it in store and couldn’t get it to do anything. I tried the bass as an input for the vocoder but no dice.
