30 Years of Music
Made with Novation

Three decades of bass, beats
and synthesizers.

Since 1992, Novation has been a pioneer in developing music technology that has allowed artists to create decade-defining sounds. Since then, our synths, MIDI controllers, grooveboxes and more have helped people create, play and perform at all stages of their music-making journey. Uncover our story as we look back on three decades of Novation and celebrate the music made possible with our instruments.

With Novation, anything is possible

From the very beginning, our instruments have been focused on making music production accessible to all. We started as Novation Electronic Music Systems, and built a small but innovative device, the MM10, which let you control a MIDI sequencer, the Yamaha QY10, for the very first time from a keyboard. Not long after in 1993, the classic Bass Station stepped into the spotlight and the Novation story truly began.

To celebrate, over the coming months, we’re bringing our community together to celebrate the artists who have made music with Novation over the years. Come backstage with artists using Novation gear across the globe, win big with our 30th Anniversary competition, discover inspiring sounds with curated sound packs, and hear the story of Novation from our friends and staff from across the years.

We’re proud of our heritage; our instruments are built on a legacy of revolutionary synth and MIDI design. Ever since we released Bass Station in 1993, we’ve kept the spirit of innovation in music and changing things for the better.

Launchpad’s intuitive production capabilities sparked a creative lightshow revolution among producers, Launchkey lets you create freely with inspirational features, and Circuit brings new life to production and beat making. We don’t stop at hardware, either. We always bring new features and improvements for our instruments with firmware updates aimed to inspire and make music production as intuitive as possible for all.
