ABOUT
DETAILS cool and easy to use routing system, nice FM features of 3 OSCs (OSC 1-2,2-3), also some shaping stuff in OSC section (hardness), it'S been said it uses sampled waves instead of generating it algorithmically.. is this true? not found out officially. anyway, it sound ok.. not too many hi harmonics, but ok.. fx: reverb, delay and lots more per sound! - Novation Supernova 1 & 2 , and the little nova (same features but less voices and a little slimmed down FM features) more to come here soon.. the specialty on the the supernovas were 3 speed LFOs (very nice!), a complete FX section PER VOICE or to be exact - per multi part.. it was the first one in this kind of feature, later versions added a vocoder. it is a quite large mod routing section, well.. the odd part is that it's oscs are no real "models" of analogue synths but samples.. to my ears it sounds not as rich as a comparable average analogue synth.. anyway it is lots of mod and dirt sources on board.. not bad! 8 DSP - quite a lot since other synths did not need such a large number on the other hand: others did not have sooo many FX!! later novation released an OS for much more voices.. the little nova had 12 voices and a bit reduced in modulation.. (FM algos), very cool LFO - 3 ranges fast, mid ,slow.. very good!!
Novation Nova uses 5 Motorola 56362 (synth engine), and 1 Motorola 56303 (fx unit)

DETAILS gutes routing system (übersichtlich) mit FM (OSC 1-2,2-3), arbeitet angeblich nicht mit erzeugten waves, sondern mit samples (kann aber nicht geprüft werden), dennoch flexibel und angenehm in der bedienung. fx: reverb, delay and lots more pro sound! - dual ringmod, 3 LFO bereich (sehr schnell und langsam, sehr gut!!)
