Novation MiniNova Mini-Keys Synthesizer

- Flexible Financing
- Price Match
- Satisfaction Guarantee
MiniNova is a powerful mini-keys synth with incredible performance controls which enable you to tweak and warp the onboard sounds, and your own voice. It has the same synth-engine as it's big brother - the UltraNova - and comes with 256 awesome sounds so you can get started straight away. If you want to dig deeper, it's got a fully editable Nova-class synth engine (derived from the legendary Supernova series in the 1990s).
Is MiniNova for you?
MiniNova's compact size, massive sound and performance/editing controls make it perfect for producers, gigging musicians and anyone creating music with computers - it can also be a 37 key controller keyboard with MIDI I/O. The voice-tune and vocoder enable you to recreate classic vocal effects, as well as brand new voice-bending possibilities!
Choose your sound
MiniNova has 256 onboard sounds and space to save another 128 of your own sounds. You can quickly search for sounds by selecting the type of music you're making, or the type of sound you're after whether it's bass, lead - hip hop or techno. MiniNova comes with a free software Patch Librarian so you can store as many sounds as you want on your computer. If 256 is not enough, there are numerous soundpacks for MiniNova assembled by renowned artists and sound designers. These can be downloaded free from: novationmusic.com/soundpacks
Tweak, warp and arpeggiate your sound
MiniNova can do things other synths can't. It has knobs which allow you to tweak and edit the sounds, but it can also 'animate' sound with 8 back-lit buttons. These trigger 'mods' in the synth engine that can warp sound in incredible ways as you play. There is also a large knob for filter cutoff so you can get instant control of the filter whatever else you are doing. MiniNova has an arpeggiator with 33 patterns. You can use the 8 buttons to jam with these patterns, creating totally new sequences in realtime.
Classic & brand-new vocal effects
MiniNova takes vocal effects one step further. As well as a vocoder, it has voice-tune - or the 'Cher' effect. This means you can talk into the mic and play the tune you want your voice to follow on the keyboard. You can also run your voice through MiniNova's effects engine, adding reverb, distortion, chorus/phase, gator compression or EQ. This doesn't need to be limited to your voice; there is an input which you can plug a guitar or any other instrument and give it the same treatment; effects or vocoder.
The synth engine & effects
MiniNova has an enormously powerful synth engine, unheard of in such a compact synth. There are 14 conventional waveforms to choose from (square, sine, sawtooth, pulse, triangle and combinations), 36 wavetables and 20 digital waveforms. Each of the 3 oscillators (per voice) have density/detune for fattening up sounds, virtual sync and 'hardness' - which acts as an additional lowpass filter. There are 14 filter types (and you can run 2 simultaneously), 6 envelope generators, 3 LFOs and 20 modulation slots where you can link modules of the synth engine together to shape sound. MiniNova can add up to 5 effects to each voice including distortion, reverb, chorus/phase, delay, compressor, EQ and Novation's unique gator effect.
Editing software included
Editing sounds in such a powerful synth can be overwhelming, so we've created a software application gives you visual access to the synth engine. The MiniNova Editor works as a plug-in within your DAW or music software. You can fully edit MiniNova using the hardware, the software just makes it more simple to see what you are doing.
A powerful performance synth with the same sound engine as the UltraNova.
- Hugely powerful mini-synth with UltraNova's sound engine
- Brand new voice-tune and classic vocoder effects
- Tweak and warp your sounds in realtime
- 256 awesome onboards sounds - instantly searchable
- Layer up to 5 effects per voice

Comments about Novation MiniNova Mini-Keys Synthesizer:
I'm in an indie band and we play very simplistic, chill music. I needed a keyboard for instrumental breaks and atmospheric ambiance in a live performance. This thing is killer! It sounds amazing and you can edit everything it seems. It feels like if I dropped it in my garage that it would almost certainly break though, but on a plus it's very light. The vocoder is very responsive although I have found that most of the presets all sound very much the same or too unusual to use.
Since I play guitar primarily I needed something to sustain notes and what not. I bought a sustain pedal and didn't need it because this thing has a latch button... I did not know this, because I'm not a piano player at all and didn't research it enough but anyhoo.. this thing is easy for me to play guitar and keys at the same time and allows me to create a smoother sound with our songs.
Definitely get this thing!

Comments about Novation MiniNova Mini-Keys Synthesizer:
I have waited a while to review this synth, because I wanted to get more experience with it first. Let me tell you this right now: I am absolutely in love with this synthesizer, and couldn't be anymore ecstatic to own it. I will try to keep this short, though there is so much to say.
First of all, it's almost impossible not to bring up the microkorg to compare with the MiniNova. Same price, same basic concept. That's where the similarities end. The MiniNova is so much more powerful than the microkorg, and all it takes is a comparative look at the specs. The MN gives you 256 patches + 128 user, the MK gives you a total of 128. You get 3 oscillators on the MN, 2 on the MK... The list goes on. I will tell you what ultimately made me go with the MiniNova over the microkorg, specs aside -- and by the way, the MN CAN get emulate analog synths as well as the MK.
The MiniNova looks WAY better; I never get tired of looking at it. I love the big, fat dedicated filter knob as well. The performance possibilities. Sounds are more modern. The onboard effects (which are editable). I could go on naming every reason, but there's more to discuss.
Along with getting an absolutely amazing synth, you get a very comprehensive, and informative manual. Don't know much about synthesis? There's a tutorial of the basics in the manual. With Novation, you get the absolute best customer service. If you need help with sound designing, understanding the synth better, any question or thought that may arise, all you have to do is send them an email, and they respond within 2-3 business days. Novation is the only synth brand I own (Novation, Arturia, Korg) who has responded to my inquiries.
If you watch videos of the MiniNova, some people claim that editing it is a pain when doing so directly on the synth (not using the software patch editor). It may be a little time consuming, but in no way is it difficult.
This is an amazing synth, and I highly doubt you will regret buying it, so do it!

Comments about Novation MiniNova Mini-Keys Synthesizer:
Love this thing. I have two Nord E3s. One for piano and one for organ. Neither could cut it for pads, leafs or anything even remotely synth sounding. I've owned the microkirg XL and this board is WAY BETTER. The factory sounds are killer, the workflow is super logical and it's pretty easy to use without being an expert in synthesizers. Very fun to play!
Comments about Novation MiniNova Mini-Keys Synthesizer:
i bought this after seeing a demo on novation's website. it demoed the auto-tune function. after getting it i find out that the sound used for the demo was actually overdubbed: the auto-tune function is monophonic not poly. Other problem was it not being poly-timbral: keyboard can't be split or sounds combined in any way.

Comments about Novation MiniNova Mini-Keys Synthesizer:
I've been playing keyboards for years, but this is the first synth I've owned. I've been doing quite a bit of reading and experimenting to learn how synthesizers work, and this one if fully featured. I haven't run into anything I've wanted to try that this synth can't do.
You could get a lot of the same sounds out of a software synth, but there's something strangely fulfilling about being able to tweak sounds live using physical knobs and buttons. This also makes it easier and more impressive to play live. There is editing software that saves you from having to go menu diving for your settings. (The menus are designed well, it's just easier to see it all on the computer screen at once.)
The software is a plugin for a DAW, not a standalone application. I've been using it with Garageband via USB, and setup was easy. Since the Mininova does not have an audio interface, sound is not transferred to my Mac through USB. External speakers are still required.
I considered buying a MicroKorg or MicroKorg XL instead of this, but I am happy I went with the Mininova. It hasn't disappointed.

Comments about Novation MiniNova Mini-Keys Synthesizer:
I have to say, this synth is really fantastic. The interface takes very little getting used to. I learned to use modeling synthesizers on a MicroKorg, which has an incredibly frustrating interface. This thing allows you to build sounds from the ground up (starting at a single waveform) if you wish. Or you can use the presets (I'm not normally a presets kinda guy, but some of them are actually pretty cool). But for real, the amount of customization this thing allows is almost ridiculous. I've never played such a cost-effective synth that allowed me such control over the sound. I've had sounds for certain parts in my head for months, years in some case. Once I figured out how to use this thing (only took me an afternoon, it's that easy), I was able to get those ideas out and easily stored away for use in the future. I'm amazed. Don't even bother with a MicroKorg. Korg needs to up it's minisynth game if they want to remain even close to relevant in that market in the wake of this thing.

Comments about Novation MiniNova Mini-Keys Synthesizer:
I am a profesional bassist who was looking to expand my sound and have a good synth for playing synth bass. I also wanted something to experiment with creating electronic music. This was exactly what I wanted!
In addition to the 256 presets, it has 127 blank initialized slots for you to save your own synth voices, made from scratch or editing the presets. The animate pads are a blast to play with and you can program them yourself. One pad can execute multiple changes to the sound with the push of a button!
The 5 performance knobs are easy to use. The selector switch next to 4 of them selects which parameters they affect. Two rows are customizable (8 parameters total) so that you can decide what they "tweak". Like the microkorg, you can access any charachteristic of the syth. You have to use the LCD screen and menu keys to access certain things, but it really simplifies the performance knob section.
Only downsides I see compared to Microkorg are not being batery opperated (so?), Mininova is monotiberal while Microkorg uses 2 timbers (which seems to more than even out when you consider the polyphony Mininova=18 Microkorg=4). Mininova is strictly Stereo outputs (L&R channels or Stereo Headphone) which screwed me up in my application, but was easily fixed with an adaptor. In every other way, the Mininova seems to blow the Microkorg out of the water. More oscilators, LFOs, filters, etc. Well worth the extra $100, or less if you have a coupon!

Officials say man cut by own hand, not robber's
Pizzeria worker charged with filing a false report and stealing store money.
Published: Friday, July 10, 2009 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 10, 2009 at 12:22 a.m.
One of Garrett Lee Brown's 10 tattoos, as recorded by the state's Department of Corrections, depicts a fake cut on his left arm.
On Tuesday, Brown, an assistant manager at Pizza Italia, told sheriff's deputies an intruder cut his left arm with a large knife and stole money from the business.
On Wednesday, Brown, an inmate on work release from the Department of Corrections, was returned to Marion Correctional Institute, charged with petit theft and filing a false police report.
Brown's story changed several times during their investigation, which concerned detectives. When confronted about the inconsistencies, Brown told Detective Art King that he cut himself with a 12-inch serrated kitchen knife and pretended he was robbed to conceal stealing money from the business to support a drug habit.
"Robbery is an act of desperation, and he was desperate," King said.
The 27-year-old was sentenced to prison in late 2008 for a number of charges, including burglary, grand theft and forgery, the state's Web site shows. He was scheduled to be released from prison in May 2010.
According to officials, Brown is known as someone who "cuts himself."
In his report, King said when deputies arrived Tuesday at the restaurant, Brown had a large cut on his upper left arm. He was taken to Munroe Regional Medical Center for treatment. Because he's an inmate, he was drug tested. The test came back positive for cocaine.
Brown's privilege of staying at a half-way house was revoked and he was immediately taken to Marion Correctional Institute.
King went there to interview Brown. He told the detective that while working at the restaurant, located at 11 N.E. 58th Ave., he was buying and using cocaine and Roxycotin pills. To supply his drug habit, Brown said he stole money from an envelope used to store extra cash.
While alone inside the business Tuesday, Brown said he used the knife to cut himself and spread blood around to give the appearance an attacker was chasing him.
Another employee arrived and saw the blood. Brown said he told that employee the restaurant had been robbed and he was cut. Deputies were then notified.
In light of the false report, Capt. Tommy Bibb said he wants business owners to know that "We don't have someone out there running around robbing and cutting pizza employees."
As for wasting valuable resources, Bibb said that's why the agency takes a "hard stance" on those who make false reports.
"This is taxing on our taxpayers and our resources," said Bibb, adding that the case took personnel from several departments, including the K-9 Unit, patrol, helicopter, evidence technicians and detectives.
Bibb estimates on the first day, the investigation cost county taxpayers anywhere from $3,000 to $4,000.
Zack Shmuealevich, owner of Pizza Italia since December, said Thursday that Brown had been employed at the restaurant for about 2 1/2 to 3 months and was a good worker.
Shmuealevich said the incident took him by surprise, although he said that a couple of days before the alleged robbery, Brown had been uptight and seemed stressed.
Believing the initial report to be true, Shmuealevich said he had planned for Brown to return to work.

One in three child crash fatalities are caused by side-impact collisions, yet car seat manufacturers have never been required to simulate a "T-bone" scenario — until now.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has proposed a new rule requiring car seats to withstand side-impact collisions of up to 30 mph.
The new standards are expected to prevent about five deaths and 65 injuries each year, a "very, very conservative estimate," according to the safety administration.
Columbus-based Dorel Juvenile Group, the world's largest car seat manufacturer, is already a few steps ahead.

Lone Grove tornado victim: Timothy David Nevill
Residence: Lone Grove Occupation: U.S. Postal carrier Age: 36 Story: Tim dreamed of one day farming his family's small acreage in Lone Grove, and was looking forward to clearing the land Wednesday morning. Family members said Tim loved to work with his hands and was a master at raising beautiful roses. He loved animals, often sheltered strays, and even domesticated a pig that would follow him around the property like a dog. Nevill enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 2001 and was later honorably discharged after an injury. He was living in a trailer home Tuesday with his mother and father — Mary and Earnest Nevill. When Earnest was blown through the door by the high winds, Tim ran down the hall to call 911. That was the last anyone saw him alive. "I kept yelling his name, but he never answered," Mary Nevill said. "Tim was a good father and a hard worker," said Mark Nevill, Tim's brother. Funeral Services: Graveside today at 2 p.m. Overbrook Cemetery in McAlester. Contributing: Staff writers Ron Jackson, Nolan Clay and Robert Medley and The Associated Press

"Prespansko jezero" Prespansko Ezero by Vanity666
Prespansko Ezero Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 9 photos
Prespansko jezero or Lake Prespa is the name of two freshwater lakes in southeast Europe, shared by Greece, Albania, and the Republic of Macedonia. Of the total surface area, 190 km² belongs to the Republic of Macedonia, 84.8 km² to Greece and 38.8 km² to Albania. They are the highest tectonic lakes in the Balkans, standing at an altitude of 853m.
Because Great Prespa Lake sits about 150m above Lake Ohrid, which lies only about 10 km (6 miles) to the west, its waters run through underground channels in the karst and emerge from springs which feed streams running into Lake Ohrid.
With an abundance of rare fauna and flora, the area was declared a Transnational Park in 2000. The area contains four National Parks located in Albania, Greece, and Republic of Macedonia.

West Roseville residents eager for completion of developments
Residents of some west Roseville neighborhoods have often expressed concerns about increased density in their community.
They're worried about the impact on traffic, schools and property values, and have spoken up repeatedly during public comment at Roseville City Council meetings over the past couple years, as amendments and zoning changes are proposed.
But a bigger issue remains: When will the Westpark and Fiddyment Farm developments be finished?
Both developments are part of the West Roseville Specific Plan, which was adopted in 2004 and covers 3,162 acres west of Fiddyment Road, north of Pleasant Grove Boulevard. The groundbreaking for the second elementary school in the plan area took place Wednesday.
The campus will be located in Fiddyment Farm. The school, yet to be named, will open in fall 2013, said Roseville City School District Superintendent Richard Pierucci.
This groundbreaking may be an encouraging sign, but some homeowners still anxiously await the completion of other amenities promised to them in the specific plan. Near the top of that list is the Village Center.
"The delays with getting the Village Center and high school built are a frustration to us because, while we can sympathize with issues of the economic slowdown, our residents have purchased their homes with certain expectations given to us," said Sue Cook, president of the WestPark-Fiddyment Farm Neighborhood Association.
She said residents pay high Mello Roos fees per agreements made in conjunction with those expectations and "the slow progress made does not meet those expectations."
The Roseville Joint Union High School District had planned to open a new campus in 2013 in Westpark but then housing construction stalled, Assistant Superintendent of Personnel Services Ron Severson previously told the Press Tribune.
The district doesn't have a revised timeline for the campus, but Severson said it could happen as early as 2017.
The 120-acre Village Center will include shops, restaurants, a main street and an urban park. It's intended to be the pedestrian-friendly heart of the specific plan and a social and commercial hub. Residents want assurance that this project will be completed within Phase II, currently under way, as was originally represented in the specific plan.
"The (city) and the developers have been pretty good about meeting with residents to keep us updated and get our input as progress continues," Cook said. "Although slower than originally projected when we started purchasing homes in 2006, residents seem pleased with the facilities which have been completed so far."
Most recently, two large neighborhood parks - Festersen and Nichols - opened and construction for Fire Station No. 9 kicked off in February. Plans for W-53 Park and a dog park are also under way.
The specific plan includes 8,792 single and multi-family units, 57 acres of commercial, 109 acres of industrial, 255 acres of park, 705 acres of open space and 108 acres of schools. At build-out, the area is expected to accommodate about 22,332 residents.
City of Roseville Community Development Manager Chris Robles said progress will continue as the economy allows.
"It's interesting to see what is still going forward," Robles said. "It's all market-driven. The focus is on tenant-improvements on exiting buildings. People just aren't building new buildings."
Home construction is showing growth in the greater Sacramento region, with 50 percent of that occurring in Placer County and about 60 percent to 70 percent of that increase in Roseville, Robles said.
The vast majority of building permits issued by the city is going to the western part of town, Robles said. He said Roseville remains a desirable place for people looking to buy new homes.
"Bottom line is (developers) can sell houses," Robles said.

2013 midyear outlook: Time to change your focus?
Fixed income
James Kochan, Chief Fixed-Income Strategist
The fundamentals that typically determine the behavior of interest rates continue to suggest that it is too early to abandon the bond market strategies that have been successful over the past four years. Investing for income rather than safety is, in our view, still the preferred strategy. July 1 marks the start of the fifth year of this cyclical recovery. It is unprecedented in the postwar era for interest rates to be at cycle lows this late in the recovery and expansion phase of the business cycle. This, however, is an unusual expansion— so unusual that interest rates could stay exceptionally low for another 12 months or longer. Economic developments that, in the past, have signaled the onset of a cyclical rise in rates are still not evident.
Economic growth in the U.S. and around the world is much slower than in past cycles. In the U.S., real GDP growth has averaged 2% over the past 16 quarters, or approximately one-half the average growth rates of previous expansions. Most forecasts predict only slightly better growth over the next 12 months. The economies of Europe are in recession, Japan is growing slowly, and growth in China and India is significantly slower than it was a year ago. Relatively anemic growth does not typically produce interest-rate pressures.
Inflation pressures are also largely absent, and leading indicators of inflation are not threatening. Unit labor costs are increasing at only a 1.1% annual rate. By comparison, in the periods of rising inflation in the 1970s, those costs increased at an average annual rate of 5%, with some years showing doubledigit increases. Growth in the money supply is also relatively subdued. The M2 version (a definition of money supply that serves as a key economic indicator for forecasting inflation) has increased only 7% over the past 12 months and is at a low 3% annual rate thus far in 2013. In contrast, double-digit growth rates in M2 were the norm when inflation was severe in the 1970s and 1980s. Recent weakness in the world commodity markets also suggests that inflation could remain subdued.
An exceptionally weak recovery in private-sector borrowing is another factor limiting interest-rate pressures. The latest Fed data shows that borrowing by households and businesses was increasing at less than a 1% annual rate in the first quarter of 2013. In the five years before the 2008 to 2009 recession, that growth was in the double digits. Again last quarter, households retired more debt than they added. The amount of mortgage debt outstanding has declined every year from 2008 through 2012—an unprecedented development. In the first quarter of 2013, mortgage debt outstanding decreased again, at a $200 billion annual rate.
Even including the federal government, total borrowing in the U.S. capital markets is growing at a low 4.5% rate. In the periods of high inflation and high interest rates in the1970s and1980s, those growth rates were in the double digits. In the years 2003 through 2007, annual growth in total borrowing stayed in the 8% to 9% range. A weak pace of borrowing helps explain why money supply growth has been moderate, despite the exceptional creation of bank reserves by the Fed.
Fed policy is also unlikely to push rates permanently higher in the months ahead, despite considerable discussion concerning when the Fed might begin to reduce its monthly purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The majority of the FOMC members apparently need to see strong and sustainable economic growth before they would consider reductions to the purchase program, and those criteria are not yet in sight. Moreover, Chairman Bernanke has explained that the federal funds rate is likely to remain near zero—even after the monthly purchases end. Thus, the onset of a cyclical rise in short-term rates might be more than 12 months away.
The May correctionThe market correction this past May and June was a reminder that while the Fed can control shortterm rates, it has limited influence on bond yields. Fears of a reduction in Fed bond purchases, plus a few stronger economic indicators, were sufficient to cause note and bond yields to increase as much as 50 basis points (bps; 100 bps equals 1.00%) in May. The consequent price declines pulled year-to-date total returns into negative territory in all but two sectors—corporate high yield and municipals. It is understandable that such a severe correction would spark fears of a cyclical bear market in bonds. If, however, the discussion of market fundamentals presented here is correct, this was probably a onetime adjustment to more realistic yield levels, especially in Treasuries and markets in which spreads to Treasuries were narrow or no more than average.
In the Treasury, investment-grade corporate, and municipal markets, yields have moved back to the levels that prevailed prior to the flight-to-safety rallies in the spring of 2012. The European financial crisis that began in March and April 2012 sparked a huge rally in Treasuries and, subsequently, in the rest of the U.S. bond markets. Demand from overseas investors frightened by events in Europe or elsewhere was largely responsible for the historically low yields of last summer and fall. With the overseas markets relatively calm in recent months, demand has weakened and U.S. yields have increased. But with Treasury borrowing falling off somewhat and weak private-sector borrowing, a weaker foreign bid need not propel yields beyond levels that persisted before the European crisis.
Strategy recommendationsThe May and June correction was also a reminder that, consistent with investors' experience of the past 12 months, investing for interest income rather than potential price appreciation will likely be the better strategy over the next six to 12 months. The total returns shown in Chart 2 highlight the poor returns of the lowest-yielding sectors. The returns from corporate high yield clearly included some price appreciation, but most of that occurred during the final six months of 2012. Treasury returns clearly included price depreciation, with much of that occurring in May.
If, as we expect, total returns from fixed income in the next six to 12 months reflect primarily interest income, investors should stay with strategies that were successful over the past 12 months. We would expect returns from Treasuries and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) to be positive but relatively meager and returns from MBS to be only marginally better. We believe that spread sectors— specifically the corporate and municipal markets—continue to offer the better relative values.
Even after producing exceptional returns over the past four years, we believe the high-yield corporate bond market still offers the best values among the domestic taxable sectors. While yield levels are near record lows, yield spreads to Treasuries remain approximately 100 bps wider than those that prevailed from 2004 into 2007. For example, the current yield spread between a typical 10-year B-rated corporate and the 10-year Treasury bill is approximately 400 bps. From 2004 to 2006, that spread averaged 350 bps and was frequently as low as 300 bps. These comparisons suggest that the high-yield spreads have room to narrow should Treasury yields rise further and that the high-yield market should continue to record total returns substantially greater than those of the Treasury market.
To be sure, a rally as strong as that of the high-yield market can eventually produce a degree of market frothiness, and the high-yield market is showing a few of these signs. Bond structures that were last seen in 2006 to 2007—such as payment-in-kind options and those without protective covenants— have reappeared in recent months, mostly among the weakest credits. These features favor the issuers, not the investors. To minimize the risks associated with them, a more cautious approach to high yield might now be appropriate. That would include underweighting the weakest credit categories and the longest durations. We would increase allocations to short-term high-yield portfolios that have little or no exposure to the weakest credits. Although a yield penalty is associated with this strategy, a marginal reduction in credit risk is, in our view, a prudent move at this stage of the high-yield cycle.
Because spreads to Treasuries are less generous in the investment-grade corporate market, returns in this sector have been more closely correlated with the Treasury market. Spreads for AA- and A-rated issues are close to the averages seen in 2004 to 2006. In the BBB segment, spreads to Treasuries are approximately 50 bps wider than the averages in 2004 to 2006. These wider spreads have helped the BBBs consistently outperform the higher grades, a pattern that we believe is likely to continue over the next 12 months.
Municipal bonds: Focus on issue selection, not durationThe salient features of the municipal market have been—and still are—generous yields versus Treasuries and unusually wide quality spreads. As a result, municipals have consistently outperformed Treasuries over the past four years and the weaker credits have consistently outperformed the high grades. Much has been made of the fact that yields on most AAA municipal bonds are no longer higher than yields on comparable Treasuries. It should be noted, however, that prior to 2008, AAA municipal bond yields were typically around 0.75 of Treasury yields. Now that ratio is 1.0. For A-rated municipal bonds, the ratios are now as high as 1.5 versus precrisis ratios of around 0.9. By all but the most recent standards, municipal yields remain generous compared with Treasury yields.
Yields in the A and BBB credit segments are a percentage point higher than they are in the AAA and AA segments, which have spreads that are approximately triple what was typical prior to 2008. As a result, over the past four years, a portfolio of A/BBB credits would have outperformed an AAA/AA portfolio by 200 to 300 bps per year. Over the past 12 months, the performance differential was 220 bps. Capturing incremental returns from the weaker grades requires the support of thorough credit research so that a portfolio manager can identify the credit segments to overweight. If market yields are not likely to trend sharply higher or lower over the next six to 12 months, adding incremental income from issue selection rather than by extending duration would be expected, in our opinion, to be the more successful strategy.
International: Developed markets may offer better opportunitiesEmerging markets debt has not performed well thus far in 2013, in part because the dollar has strengthened versus many emerging markets currencies. With growth slowing in many emerging economies, a weaker currency is seen as one way to spark economic activity. Economic concerns are likely to continue to hurt local-currency emerging markets debt performance in the months ahead. Both the local currency and dollar-denominated emerging markets debt might have difficulty matching the performance of domestic high yield during the remainder of 2013.
It might be counterintuitive, but the developed markets now appear to offer somewhat better opportunities than the emerging markets. If the economies of Europe and Japan perform even slightly better in the second half of 2013, corporate credit quality should improve and currencies would not be expected to weaken versus the dollar. Many of the economies of Eastern Europe and Latin America are performing well. After the severe corrections thus far in 2013, these developed markets might now have the potential to outperform U.S. Treasuries and investment-grade corporates.
Conclusion: Investing for income rather than safetyThe poor performance of the domestic and international fixed-income markets in May and June has revived fears of the onset of the dreaded cyclical bear market in bonds. The more-likely scenario, however, is less dramatic. The economic fundamentals that typically govern the behavior of interest rates and bond yields are much the same as they were one or two years ago. Those fundamentals—relatively weak economic growth, low inflation, and a slow pace of private-sector borrowing—have kept short-term rates low and bond yields within relatively narrow ranges over the past two years. Over that period, investing for income rather than safety has been a successful fixed-income strategy. It is our view that staying with that strategy is likely to be the best course over the next 12 months.

1. Re: WorkManager configuration and usage docs667797 Feb 24, 2009 7:08 PM (in response to 685516)Hi Andrew,
I don't know if this is the forum post that you were referring to but this shows a simple example using a WorkManager ...
2. Re: WorkManager configuration and usage docs619507 Feb 24, 2009 7:28 PM (in response to 685516)Hi Andrew,
Unfortunately, the available WorkManager documentation barely scratches the surface of what you need to know to use Coherence WorkManager.
The basics are as documented: you create an instance of WorkManager with a given name and the number of worker threads and schedule serializable Work to be executed. However, there are a number of caveats:
1. You can only create an instance of a WorkManager with a given name once per node. If you try to create a manager with the same name again you will get an exception. That means that you either need to hold on to a reference to it, or obtain it from the underlying InvocationService (Coherence WorkManager is built on top of InvocationService). Here is the utility class I use that will allow you to obtain an existing WorkManager or create a new one for a given name:
public class WorkManagerFactory {The getInstance() method is where the logic is: it checks if the invocation service with a given name is already running, and retrieves the WorkManager from it by calling getUserContext() if it is. Otherwise, it creates a new WorkManager instance. There are also two convenience methods that allow you to get either a client-only WorkManager instance (thread count 0), or a WorkManager server that uses the default number of threads for the invocation service. In order to use the latter, you will have to set the system property tangosol.coherence.invocation.threads to a positive integer when starting your cluster nodes.
public static WorkManager getServerInstance(String name) {
return getInstance(name, -1);
public static WorkManager getClientInstance(String name) {
return getInstance(name, 0);
public static WorkManager getInstance(String name, int threadCount) {
InvocationService service = getInvocationService(name);
if (service.isRunning()) {
return (WorkManager) service.getUserContext();
return new WorkManager(name, threadCount);
private static InvocationService getInvocationService(String name) {
Cluster cluster = CacheFactory.ensureCluster();
return (InvocationService)
cluster.ensureService(name, InvocationService.TYPE_DEFAULT);
2. If you want to use WorkManager, you cannot enable POF globally using tangosol.pof.enabled system property. Instead, you will have to specify serializer explicitly for all cache schemes that should use POF.
This is because WorkManager-related classes don't support POF as a serialization format. This will hopefully be fixed in the future release of Coherence, but currently that's the way it is.
3. You need to decide how to start WorkManager instances on cluster nodes that should execute the tasks scheduled by the manager. There are several options:
a) You can start standalone WorkManager servers by executing WorkManager from the command line (it has the main method) and passing name and thread count as command line arguments.
b) You can start it on the application server by calling constructor directly or using WorkManagerFactory above.
c) You can start it on the cache server by creating it in a class that is instantiated automatically by Coherence, such as backing map listener, for example. If you use SpringAwareCacheFactory, you can also start it by simply registering singleton bean definition for it in the Spring application context.
Other than that, you can use it just like any other WorkManager implementation. You schedule the Work to execute and if you care about the results wait until it is completed. Keep in mind that the WorkItem returned by the call to schedule method is always RemoteWorkItem, so you will need to call getResult method on it to retrieve the execution result.
Of course, you should also be aware that Coherence WorkManager provides 'at most once' execution semantics, so there is no guarantee that the scheduled work will be executed. If you need better execution guarantee you should look into Coherence Incubator patterns instead.
3. Re: WorkManager configuration and usage docs685516 Mar 2, 2009 11:02 AM (in response to 619507)Aleks,
Thanks a lot for that super informative answer

Excellent trip. All staff were extremely helpful and informative. The three islands are very different and gave us a taste of the islanders daily lives. The cruise between the islands was beautiful and there was some information given about the island we passed a little but more would be good. It was a fantastic experience and the timing of our trip meant we left as the sun was rising and later watch the sun set.
The cruise ship was nice. The staff was very friendly. I wish we had more time on the islands. If anyone has a day to spare they should really take this tour
Absolutely perfect! Such a beautiful tour and entertaining way to spend the day. And the food was excellent on the boat!
Todd USA
Absolutely perfect. The weather, entertainment, staff were very good.
great days outing
This was one of the best thing we did during our stay at Athens. They pick up from the hotel was timed perfectly. We truly enjoyed the cruise. The tour group were friendly. Lunch was superb and the journey was comfortable and entertaining. However, when we booked the touch, we noticed that there were supposed to be 2 lunch sittings. We were only offered one lunch sitting when we reached Hydra, which was dissapointing. I have copy pasted below the exact advert from your website www.viator.com. Please see below.
Back on ship, enjoy lunch (first sitting) while sitting comfortably on the lounge and admiring the views of the Mediterranean Sea during approximately 1 hour, on your way to Hydra.
When you return back on board, the tables will be set for the second lunch sitting. You have already had your lunch, relax on the ship's deck and enjoy the warm breeze as you sail to your last stop, the larger island of Egina.
We really enjoyed this tour when visiting Athens. The food served during the cruise was also good and although the ship was full, the staff handled the situation in a very professional way. We enjoyed every minute both on the islands and even on the ship. Highly recommended. 10 out of 10 !!
I really enjoyed it
From start to finish this cruise was wonderfully planned and executed. A smaller tour bus picked us up near our hotel, meaning we were not driving all over the city before heading to Piraeus to the boat. The boat itself was roomy, with 3 different decks, and many places to sit and relax, enjoy the ocean views, have a drink, meet new friends, and experience the entertainments provided. There were entertainments including live music and dancing on each leg of the journey, and a delicious buffet lunch after the first stop. The optional tour on Aegina was beautiful if a little rushed.
This cruise is awsome! Well worth the price for three islands, great food and entertainment. Highly recommend this on your Greece getaway. They pick up and drop you off at your hotel or one near your location. Can't say anything but Thank you Viator and The One Day Cruise. :)
Beautiful scenery, very relaxing, excellent food, good service and a wonderful cultural experience. I recommend it.
Very well planned trip, highly recommended to all, staff were very nice and informative, the organized shpw program was very nice we enjoyed it very much
I had a wonderful time on this tour. It was relaxing, entertaining, fascinating, and beautiful. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
You get picked up and dropped off at designated spots around Athens, everything is well organised and runs like clockwork, the islands are idyllic, very relaxing, great buffet lunch.
My son who is 5 and I loved the trip. The islands are very pretty and loved the three we went to. Transportation to the cruise from the hotel and back were great and comfortable. The lunch that was served was great and very tasteful. I first I thought we were going to be on the cruise boat a long time between the Island but no such thing plus they keep you entertain with the shops and a show they provide after the show which my son loved very much. I recommend this trip to everyone. It's cheap and you get enough time to visit each Island.
An excellent way to visit three islands near Athens without transportation-related complications. The ship was very comfortable, the lunch was good, there was shopping and entertainment on board, and the staff was professional and attentive. Only disappointment was that we were not told in advance about a "surprise" excursion (for an additional 20 euros) to a beach in a small island near Aegina (we boarded another ship for this), so we had to purchase swimwear in one of the other islands. Then again, who can complain about having to go to the beach in Greece! Riding donkeys in Hydra, buying swimsuits in Poros, going to the beach in Aegina and sharing a beautiful day on board with people from around the world: a perfect day!

If you want to see some Greek islands but do not have time for a longer cruise this is an excellent alternative. The islands are beautiful and there was ample time on shore to explore the towns. The tour was very well organized. It was impressive how the company managed to pick up and then drop off a boatload of people. The lunch on board (included in the price) was ample and delicious. There were also two sessions of Greek dancing and music. On the way out to the first island, they taught passengers some Greek dances. On the way back there was a more formal demonstration of Greek dances with the dancers in Greek costume. One was really torn between wanting to see and participate in the dances and wanting to see the beautiful scenery!
Just wonderful to see the real Greek islands and their charming way of life. We found Mountain tea for sale, hand worked onyx vases, and bowls, things I have not seen the other areas of Greece for years - and on Poros the bakery had the best Galatoburiko I have ever tasted. I just wish we had been given more than a half hour there. If you could do anything better, it would be to allow more time on Poros and Egina.
Wonderful way to see 3 beautiful Greek islands close to Athens each with unique beauty and attractions. Hydra was completely picturesque with its cobblestone streets and "donkeys" public transport option...no cars allowed on the island.... Aegina offered option to see Temple of Athena Aphaia built in 480 BC which is one of the holy triangle of temples of ancient Greece including Poseidon's temple in Sounio and the Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens. Aegina add on also brings you to the fantastic Cathedral/monastery of Saint Nektarios aside from seeing the wonderful countryside of olive, pistachio and orange farms along the way. Large ferry takes about 3-4 hrs to the first island Hydra which is in one word BEAUTIFUL, then shorter trips to the other two (Poros and Aegina) after that. In each island, you will have about 1-1.5 hrs to explore except for Aegina, the largest of the 3 wherein you can spend more time and add on the side trip to the temple and monastery. The buffet lunch on board the ship was excellent with a wide selection of food and drinks-- and later in the trip, Greek dancers in traditional garbs would entertain with audience participation. Overall a great way to spend a full day getting a glimpse of some of the beautiful Mediterranean islands of Greece each with their own unique attractions. Highly recommended!
Lovely way to see 3 islands, favourite island Hydra, good food on boat, entertainment on way back
pboytor United States of ...
Great way to see the these three islands. Staff is friendly and entertaining!
Amazing what you can fit in a day - thanks, it was great.
What a wonderful way to spend a day out of Athens !
This was a wonderful tour! The cruise ship was spacious and the staff very attentive and friendly. Due to the many different groups traveling, all instructions were provided in multiple languages which was very nice. You were even able to set up a tour for the last island (Aegina) while on the ship. The islands were breathtakingly beautiful!! Upon arrival, Hydra was probably the most beautiful, but Aegina had amazing panaromic views (from the tour bus). Poros was quiet and so very very pretty. This was my favorite tour during my stay in Greece!
One small issue: Upon return, we had to wait about 40 mins for our bus driver to appear. Our poor guide was so flustered, I felt horrible for her. But even with that, I'd still recommend this tour to anyone going to Athens. It was amazing!!
We enjoyed the whole trip. It was fun and we met nice people. Entertainment on boat good with lots of Greek culture and dancing. Value for money.

Results associated with Neumann-type economic growth models are described. We present a new generalization of the Neumann model with the idea of explaining and unifying certain basic results obtained by M. Morishima and J. Łos in proving general existence theorems. The idea of replacing constant input and output matrices in the Neumann model by those which depend continuously on the growth rate and on the price vector suggested and developed by {\it M. Morishima} ["Equilibrium stability and growth" (1964; Zbl 0117.154)], is coupled with an asymmetric-type generalization of the original Neumann model, developed by {\it J. Łos} [in: Computing Equilibria: How and Why, Proc. Int. Conf., Torun 1974, 141-157 (1976; Zbl 0364.90024)].

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Bling's the Thing
Click here for an archive of Cramer's "Mad Money" recaps.
Americans gotta have their bling, and if you can't afford a diamond, you'll buy something from Charles & Colvard (CTHR - Get Report), Jim Cramer said Thursday on "Mad Money." Charles & Colvard's synthetic moissanite jewels cost one-tenth the price of a diamond but are "more brilliant and more lustrous than diamonds," he said. Moissanite jewelry is carried at more than 700 J.C. Penney (JCP) stores, said Cramer, and it is being tested at Zale (ZLC) stores and Helzberg, owned by Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A). Cramer doesn't believe moissanite will penetrate the high-end diamond market, which is in an "unbelievable bull market." He would recommend Anglo American (AAUK), which owns 40% of De Beers, as the best play on real diamonds. But Cramer said high-end and low-end jewelry market can work at the same time as we become a class society, and because "at least in the medium term, America is not going to have a strong economy." Charles & Colvard has posted triple-digit growth since the third quarter of 2004. For 2005, earnings are expected to be up 274%, Cramer said. "This is the right kind of company with the right kind of product and the right kind of stock," he said. In response to a question about the high short position in Charles & Colvard, Cramer said the stock "feels a little Hansen (HANS)-like" in that shorts "don't believe it can get better." In response to a question about Tiffany (TIF - Get Report), Cramer said he believes Tiffany might be ready to bounce back, and he is "upgrading Tiffany right here, right now."

Line 6 HD500 - right for me?
Hey guys. This might be long but I need ur advice! I play in 2 bands, a cover band ranging from pop/blues right through to punk/rock. I'm also in an original hard rock/metal band and were looking to record demos. Currently I play through my Korg AX1500G pedalboard into a Marshall DSL 2000 with 1960a cab. I use the distortion tones on my Korg and always play through the amp on clean channel with everything 12 o'clock. This is because the Marshall doesn't have that modern metal tone I'm after for my original band. I'm saving for a dual rectifier in the long term so was gonna get a good distortion pedal for the meantime. Then I saw the HD500! This looks good as it has the mesa tones I'm after and looks a step up from my Korg!! It also has the range I need for my cover band. I've heard it's not great for live use so this worries me!! But surely its better than the Korg? Also, I was told the HD500 can be used as a footboard to control multiple standalone pedals at once, but I'm not sure if this I'd true? Finally, for effect pedals like the Korg and HD500, is it better to plug into the guitar input or fx return on my amp? Cheers!!
Not sure how it can control multiple standalone pedals, but it has a stomp loop that can enable/disable the stomp chain. Or it can send midi control messages. The Zoom G5 can give you some great metal tones for less money. But no stomp loop or midi control.
So u would recommend a G5 over HD500?
Depends on your needs. The only thing the G5 has over the HD500 is price (about $200 cheaper) and the drum machine synced to the looper. If you need the stomp and amp loops, midi control, or more convenient patch/bank changes then the HD500 is better.
And yes, sometimes it's better to go into the FX return. It depends on the amp, the FX unit settings, and your ear.
multiple effects - not sure what you mean, but it has a MIDI in/out and you can use it as a MIDI controller (or control it with other midi devices). You can also plug several pedals into the effects loop (on the HD500) and turn that on/off. You can also set up several effects on the HD500 to one footswitch (like switching reverb, delay and overdrive pedal for solo with one switch).
second question: well, generally: distortion, noise gaite, pitch changing effects, etc go before the amp, delay, reverb, etc go behind the amp. With HD500, you can actually set it up for both cases (having whole unit before preamp and having whole unit in loop) and it should sound the same (with correct settings). You can also use the 4-cable method (guitar->POD->amp input->POD effects loop->amp effects loop->cab). This is great if you want to use the amp distortion, otherwise it doesn't really matter how you plug it in, as long as you like the result.
Really the HD500 is designed to be used as your all-in-one amp and effects. If you're going to be dragging along a big head and a pedalboard as well then it rather defeats the point.
It seems like really all you need is a decent distortion pedal to stick in front of the JCM2000. A dedicated distortion pedal will sound better than the HD500 (trust me, I've used Line 6 gear for a long time and love it, but as with anything in life, one product made for one purpose is always going to do a better job than a jack-of-all-trades).
Check out the DigiTech Hardwire TL-2 if you want really absurd distortion, or try the Blackstar HT-DISTX for slightly more controlled distortion with actual valve response. Run either of them into the clean channel of the amp with the 'pushed' switch out, tone shift switch out, deep switch on and the EQ controls all set either totally maxed or halfway (halfway may be better to control excess noise and bass boom, but it'll squash the sound a little).
Though I think you might want to take another look at your amp, anyway. I had a JCM2000 DSL100 and had no problem getting modern metal tones out of it. Try the second channel with the lead 2 switch in, the deep switch on, the tone shift on, the bass at about 3 o'clock, the mids at about 8 o'clock, treble and presence both at around 2 o'clock and set the gain around 2 o'clock, or higher or lower to match the output of the guitar.
Don't forget that cranking the volume will exaggerate the distortion and valve compression, and you need that for any kind of 'metal' tone. If you're playing at bedroom levels then it's no surprise you can't get a good metal tone; try it at gig levels and you'll probably find you don't need another pedal of any kind.
Ok, cheers for the advice guys!!
