Number of Inputs
2 Audio Inputs. Signals routed Can Be Through the Synth Engine (Filters), Effects or Both. 20 bit ADCs. Between Selectable Input Sensitivity Microphone, Guitar, - 10dB and +4 dB Levels. PPM metering Metering with variable Trim & 40 Band Spectrum Analyser On The Display.
Number of Programs
256 Programs in 2 banks.
Number of Performances
128 Performance.

Power Requirement
Multi Voltage built in power supply.
MIDI
In / Out / Thru. Program changes and controller options transmitted Can Be Disabled, & the Nova With OS4 Offers forward compatibility With Novation's Supernova II series synths - sysex dumps From The Supernova II Can Be accommodated.
Dimensions
6U Rackmount (Rack Kit Included) H63mm (Including knobs) W383mm D193mm.
Weight 5kg. The configuration is simple
UTILIZATION
editing sounds is easy if you know the subtractive (which is also explained in the manual)
the modulation matrix is an excellent tool, all set on this synth!
the manual is well done and for the full version (available on the site of innovation), the French version exists, few bp translation but nothing too serious!
it was available on the website of the importer when I bought it was http / / www.studtech.com
SOUNDS
This machine is made for electronic music!
the basic sounds are good but it is so easy to hack it is important not to deprive yourself. Some find the sound a bit cold, it's not real analog, but only the simulation of high order.
no sounds really realistic, is not the purpose of the machine!
small flat on the sounds, forget the drums with the nova!
many effects, all synced to tempo via midi, quite apart from the metallic reverb too I think.
OVERALL OPINION
Gonna be a year since I use the beast and I pass it for the world
the price / quality ratio is excellent if you buy it from OCCAZ
