Novation
Supernova II
The most powerfull piece of synth out there. I have the Supernova I and I'm producing progressive and regular trance on it and I tell you it rox!
There's not a sound it can't make and it can be as warm and as agressive as you like.
It's got:
Per voice:
3 Oscillators (with a double saw available = 6 oscs per voice)
Oscillators can run freewheeling or by keysync.
2 independent Ring Mods (don't take up any oscs.) 8 Different Types providing more than just analog FM.
1 Noise Generator
3 sync oscillators to make sync effect without loosing any oscillators. can be pitched and have keyfollow.
2 filters with keyfollow (per voice, I've checked with a bandpass and a spectrum analyzer)
2 LFO's capable of running at oudio rates (up to 2000hz I believe = nice string sounds)
3 ADSTR envelope generators. All loopable and can be set to Time or Sustain.
Up to 48 voices with the Supernova II pro X
8 part miltitimbral.
Each part has got it's own effects for you can have a different delay, reverb and such on each of the eight parts. Effects can be assigned to the part from program or part(patch). (nice if you make patch changes in the middle of the choon)
Effect types per part (+ the vocoder): Delay, Reverb, Distortion, Chorus/Flanger/Phaser,/Ensemble Pan/tremolo, Comb Filter, EQ
in all: 18 different effect
Special Hardness fillter for each osc (incl noisegen.), can soften a Square osc into a sine.
Over 130 modulation routings 95 in oscillator section alone.
UNISON mode, for even phatter sounds. (mmmm unison!)
Special VCO mode for old vintage sounds
Skew and Formant for each oscillator can create amazing sounds.
42 Band crystal clear Vocoder with sibilance mode and spectrum analyzer
...
what can be modulated by the 2 LFO's and the 3 Envelopes:
Filter,
Resonance
Filter Separation
Volume of everything
Hardness filter
Square wave With
Phasing Between double saws
Pitch of the 3-6 oscs
Amount of Sync
LFO Speed
Everything can by a click on a button and a twist of a knob be assigned to the Modulation Wheel.
Also features:
One of the most advanced arpeggiator systems. 8 Arpeggiators can run at the same time.
Featuring Zone pitching and several different arpeggiator modes.
Alot if different reverb types
2 Different depth velocity respond modes for each envelope. The envelope depth can be modulated in both positive and negative way.
Extra unused special buttons makes room for OS updates.
And theres alot more under the skin of this baby that you'll have to dig deep into before you realize how cool and unique they are.
oh. i allmost forgot:
8 assignable polyphonic outputs
2 inputs each assignable to Vocoder, effects or all (!!!
)
If you like, One of the inputs can be assigned as modulator and the other as carrier and with the supernovas stereo effects, you'd still have a stereo vocoding! Bwahahahaa!
Digital I/O and ADAT expansions are optional
and: All filters low, high, band can be set to 12, 18 or 24 bd/oct
oh yeah: 400 dedicated Drumbanks are provided.
each part can have a drumset of 49 sounds simultaneusly. This is the largest on any synth ever.
