Is that synth any good?
How is it comparing to NORD?

Which Nord? There's Nordlead 1,2,3 and 2X. Every Novation I've tried has sounded really good. I was very close to buying a Supernova II rack a while ago. I'd go for the NL3 though. The unison where you keep all of the polyphony is great. It's hands down the sexiest synth available at the moment.

What stopped you from buing the supernova?
And why is NL3 better?

I needed the money to repair and restore my apartment. New floors in the hallway and kitchen, brand new bathroom too. Other stuff popped into my sights, like the Nord Modular rack I have now.

I'm not sure the NL3 is better, but I like the way Clavia do synths. It's just quality and ace design. The sound is very pleasing.

Well, I decided to pick one up.
I just cheched with my dealer and he said that NOVATION stuff is pretty reliable and that the support 's pretty good. I have to admit, it's a great sounding box. I'll also look out for the new G2 nord modular. Thanks tek!

Well, I just bought one!
The sound is great. Lots of fat textures with a lot of motion and depth. I love it!

Novation has made great stuff ever since the Bass Station keyboard. I guess everyone was a bit shocked that someone would make an analog bass synth at such a nice price.

Say..
Did they ever make a Basstation module?
PS
The NOVA module is SMOKIM'
I haven't had so much fun in years!
Happy ED

Yes. Most people only remember the module version. They also made the long forgotten Drumstation, with 808 and 909 emulations. I think some of it was done with samples. Some day, when no-one wants one (or knows what the hell it is), I'll buy one just for the 808 hats.

Sounds like an idea Tek!
Since the original 808s and 909s cost like $1000 nowadays.
My new NOVA does pretty good 909/808 type kicks, claps and hats.
I thing it's basically the same engine as a
Bassstation and a Drumstation, just d slightly different direction.
BTW how do you connent the modules on your NORD modular (swithches or virtual connections)?
