Novation Digital Music Systems Ltd. is a UK musical equipment manufacturer. Founded in 1992 as Novation Electronic Music Systems, the company specialises in MIDI controllers and analog modeling synthesizers. Novation's technical director is Chris Huggett, who designed the Wasp and OSCar synthesisers and wrote the operating system for the Akai S1000. While working for Akai, he gave Novation's founders advice and support, later joining full time to design the Supernova [1]. In August 2004, Novation was acquired by Focusrite Audio Engineering Ltd. and became a subsidiary called Novation Digital Music Systems Ltd.[2] Novation synthesisers have been used by a range of electronic acts. In the track "Triumph" by the rap group Wu-Tang Clan, Novation is referenced by Wu-Tang member RZA.
