Subject: Let's hear it then!
Original Message Date: 20-Mar-98 @ 11:32 AM - Let's hear it then!
There's a couple of links on the Nova page which ignore me rudeley when clicked. How about giving them a life?
I'd particularly like to hear the filters going acid and your best impersonation of xmod like Yam GS1 - ELP Pirates etc. I told you I'd buy one if you could make that sound.

I don't pretend to compare the Modular with the Supernova, they're completely different - it depends what you want; flexibility or completeness. If the Supernova ever comes out I'll still probably get one.
If anyone wants a demo cd of the Modular (40 mins) email me. I'll probably do a Supernova too...one day...???

It's very different. I'm lucky enough to be able to afford lots of synths so I'd rather have one of each type (sample based, wave sequencing, wave table, fm, analog, virtual analog, physical modelling etc.) rather than one Jack-of-all trades. This means that massive polophony like the Supernova isn't a big deal to me. I could still get a Supernova if the quality of it's sounds are special or it has any unusual synthesis methods, ie it can make sounds nothing else I've got can.
The Nord sounds good. It's got little in the way of built-in fx so it needs to sound good. Try turning off the fx of a JP8000 or AN1x and they sound really thin next to the Nord. That's a good acid test for a synth, I wonder what the Supernova's like? The Nord is gritty and coarse sounding rather than smooth . It can certainly be warm though.
It's very high quality, a BMW among synths - very solid and well made - the knob action is firm and smooth. It makes you feel good to play it.
It's flexible. Understatement of the year!
PC software user interface is excellent. I've shown it to my engineers as an example of how to do a good UI.
Should someone buy a Modular OR a Supernova? Chalk and cheese.

Yep your right turning the FX off is a good test, after all smothering a cake in icing does not make a great Cake!

Now i am a proud (german) owner of that awful machine, but i dont think that the factory demo is more impressive. Is the Frankfurt demo available as a midi-file ?
If somebody else has midi-files please mail me. As a beginner in analogue synthesis it might be helpful to study some controllers used in an song.
In the meantime i'm gonna work hard on analogue sound-programming ;-)

-the fattest sound i ever heard
