UTILIZATION

Very easy to use thanks to the many buttons, you can easily create a sound from another and do things like a real analog.
The manual is sufficient for those notions of subtractive synthesis.
Configuration simply plug and play.

SOUNDS

Frankly, there is little space between a Supernova and a Virus C. Apart from some twisted sounds, sequences, multis, the Supernova is everything and more it's a much more generous and friendly as the last Novations

I love the sound of this synth, very friendly, but also very violent at times, he excels in the big sounds a bit like the Virus.

This machine is used in many dance hit, it is obvious as soon as we hear it we recognize certain sounds very typical.

I love this machine. We had told me from evil, that was such a plugin. I'm not AT ALL AGREE!
Xphrase is to throw in the trash next. It is still highly rated and deserves.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months. It a grain rounder and nicer than the Waldorf. I do not spit on Waldorf on the contrary, I am a fan, but a German Supernova is more Californian in style.

It has a very versatile grain and make it little pieces with him because he is very good percussions, bass drum etc..

A lot of polyphony for a bargain price is around 700 EUR is the price of a large VST plugin, but there is no picture, ergonomic level as at the level of sound, it's worth and a setup he can do anything.

His only fault, really it does not emulate the sound of analog. It has a more sophisticated, too noble compared to the brutality or the analog emulation Nord Lead.

I do not regret this synth and I keep in my setup, I used almost all my pieces.
