Melbourne Instruments has released Nina firmware version 3.0.0, an update that adds the complete Mutable Instruments Braids synth engine.

The Nina synth’s new Macro Oscillator Mode firmware update adds 45 synthesis waveform models, using open-source code from Émilie Gillet’s extremely influential Braids synth module. The new mode dramatically expands Nina’s sonic capabilities, unlocking a wide range of synthesis options.

All 45 synthesis models run across 12 polyphonic voices, each of which can be additionally shaped by a dedicated, overdrivable analog filter. This means that you can now layer Braids oscillators and analog VCOs across four multitimbral parts, morph between presets and sequence everything.

You can preview the update via the video, embedded above, by sound designer PROTOVOLT.

Features:

• Analog VCO emulation
• Additive and digital synthesis
• Vowel/Formant synthesis
• 2-operator FM
• Simulation of string and wind instruments
• Wavetable synthesis with smooth XY interpolation
• Filtered, colored, and pitched noise
• Granular synthesis
• Electronic drum sound simulation
