Sound module rack, connectors and implmentation trs compltes twelve o'clock.

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple and ergonomic edition.

SOUNDS

Sounds really means a crpite is flashy, some lead sheets and deep junglist vst is still my best.
Not really, sounds Hot amateur: go your way.

-> 6U rack (I prefer to use it in position "desk" because much more convenient)
-> 2 sound banks of 127 each, but it is a machine to create its own sounds
-> Editing relatively simple, not necessarily need a PC to edit sounds (unless you want to save the settings for all sounds, for my part I work with an atari for MIDI and I record my sounds by dumping )
-> Connectors complete and correct (except for the headphone jack that Novation has a jack 3 "5, which is still disappointing)

UTILIZATION

UTILIZATION

-> General config rather simple
-> Editing sounds takes a few minutes to understand the beast
-> Manually is not too bad (but better still use the doc + English which is often clear, this is valid for most bikes)

SOUNDS

-> Electro and techno sounds
-> Correct general effects
-> Good momentum
-> Black dot: no drum kit

OVERALL OPINION

-> It's been two years since I use the nova: frankly, good machine ... but have other bikes to create a piece
-> It's a synth sounds rather typed, ie sounds very electronic (we like it or not) and that there is here. However, the ergonomics, the synthesis, the dynamics are very satisfactory. For those looking for a synth "sounds good" to begin to really sound synthesis, the Nova largely filled this role (and goes beyond). The bad thing (which is up to me) : no drum kit (although there are 2 or 3 sounds kick, hi-hat, snare ...); but you can easily recreate the sounds of this type (warning!! there are 6 voice polyphony of the nova: If we create such a sound kick, a snare and a sound of his hi-hat, there are only 3 channels available, for example a bass sound, a sound of water and a sound of "synthetic" .

-> Conclusion: The nova is great for electronic sounds, but when you want to add a rhythm or other sounds (eg piano, guitar, etc.), there must be other machines.

since the time he left (1999), the features are excellent, and even today.

To remove a point in quibbling: outputs 5 and 6 are combined in a mini jack that doubles as a headphone output.

UTILIZATION

-Edit and create patches is very easy thanks to the many switches and pots. Some parameters are accessible via menu but everything is very fast and fluid.
-The screen is ample and the indications on this are never cryptic (can not be said about the A-station for example).
-The manual is simple and takes even beginners by the hand by explaining the principles of subtractive synthesis.

To remove a point in quibbling: Each press of a switch makes a little beep (internal device, not in the output of course!). I have not found how to disable this annoying beep that can around you if you use it at home.

SOUNDS

-Produced sounds are particularly well suited to electronic music (Ben. .. it's a synth, normal).
It has 3 osc with various waveforms and customizable, a noise generator, three envelopes, filters and many handsets (hpf + lpf, bpf bpf +, etc. ...), 2 LFOs, programmable arpeggiator and go -go, a very flexible modulation matrix, etc ... short, a lot of possibilities, it is very complete.
Everything is synchronized to a clock noon: LFOs, arpeggiator course, the delays, etc..

Another interesting mode multitimbral, each part has its effects 7 totally independent from other parties. That's still 6 * 7 = 42 synth effects on this ... enough to make very large sound.

To remove a point quibble: the reverberations are actually averages. Nonetheless they are enough for me in most cases.

The sounds are excellent and can be very detailed if desired. As often in the synths, you either love or not love ... must listen to get an idea of ​​the match between needs and material (see discussion clavia vs. novation).

About the so-called digital clicks: This is a side effect of the instability of an external MIDI clock synchronization associated with it to delay the effect of nova. The delay follows the clock midday and click because its value is constantly changing. This problem is not unique to Nova, it would have the same concerns with most synths offering to synchronize the delay by noon.
2 solutions for this:
-Provide a stable MIDI Clock (MIDI clock problems are frequently unstable, despite the power of our modern sequencers, see the topic it against: )
-Use the internal clock for time nova.

OVERALL OPINION

An excellent multitimbral synth. I bought it because I regret a little my A-station and since I used a lot vsti its equivalent. Here it is good to have my cpu nova.

to € 500 in time, what a bargain.
