Novation Digital Music Systems Ltd. is a British musical equipment manufacturer, founded in 1992 by Ian Jannaway and Mark Thompson as Novation Electronic Music Systems. Today the company specializes in MIDI controllers with and without keyboards, both analog and virtual analog performance synthesizers, grid-based performance controllers, and audio interfaces. Novation is incredibly good at providing performance options and creative solutions for music production puzzles. Their first product, released in 1992, was the MM10, a portable battery-powered controller keyboard for the Yamaha QY10, which turned the music workstation into what some consider the first fully portable music creation system. This legacy has continued on in Novation MIDI keyboards and their Launch series controllers. At the same time, their hardware synths have continuously evolved, from 1993 to the present. At present, Novation products are primarily manufactured in China.
