Subject: Nova vs K-Station
Original Message Date: 13-Dec-02 @ 01:27 AM - Nova vs K-Station
I'm buying a synth reeaal soon and it's probably goin to be novation nova vs k-station. I know the first thing out of your mouth is try both and see which works for you. I unfortunatley can't try em =( So im relying on ya'll!
Again, i'm trying to make some kewl trance lines to add to my tracks.
Not taking the price difference in hand, what can the nova offer that is so much better than the k?
Thanks =)
Andrew

Don't forget that we've just released the KS synthesiser. This is available in a 4 octave, a 5 octave and a 5u rack. It is 4 part multitimbral 16 voice polyphonic with 32 waveforms inc drum cycles, 32 LFO shapes, 32 arp patterns + 6 arp modes which include a chord mode. It also has a multimode filter offering low, band and high pass types at 12 and 24 dB per octave slopes. It is certainly worth looking at.
Best regards,
Nick.

Perhaps you can say... Does the hyper sync function apply to envelopes? I've not seen a synth that has tempo syncable anvelopes since e-mu's audity2000. My partner in sound has a nova, but it's NEW features like this that would possess me to get the new one.

the hypersync has 8 syncable parameters - delay time, chorus LFO rate, eq LFO rate, pan LFO rate, voice LFO 1 rate, Voice LFO 1 delay, voice LFO 2 rate and Voice LFO 2 delay. It also contains parameters for levels of the delay & chorus and for eq and pan mod depth.
The hypersync does not have parameters for syncing the envelopes but, the voice LFOs have a one shot mode which effectively turns these into envelopes. As the LFOs can be tempo synced and stored as hypersyncs, you can generate tempo synced envelope effects.
The LFOs can be assigned to modulate the oscillator levels, the filter frequency or the oscillator pitch. There are 32 LFO waveshapes which include chromatic, maj mode, maj 7th, min 7th, quantised sample and hold, cross fade and 8 rhythmic patterns amoungst other weird and wonderfull shapes & along with the standard LFO waveshapes.
The LFO waveshapes really come into their own when syncronised and used in an arpeggio. There are 32 arpeggio patterns within the KS as well as the standard "up / down / up & down / random / played" modes.
Best regards,
Nick.

Seriously, why isn't there an on/off switch on the a-station?

The demo-sounds of the K and A station sound very, very nice indeed. I'd love to get my paws on those.
The VA engine in de NOVA has quite a few more parameters than the VA engine in the A/Kstations...
