Hi there I am a dummie and I would like a some help with my supernova. At the moment I am not at all sure what all the knobs do! and I would like to learn how to get the best out of it. but I need a website or something that is not going to be too confusing!

Please help.

well for a start, do you have the manual? - i'm sure it's downloadable still from Novation - you're gonna need it otherwise it'll be chaos

and google for "synth programming" or "programming synths" or the like.

you dont want a website though...you want a book, in hand. the manual. RTFM

just you and all those knobs, and a manual telling you how to use them

it takes a long time...sounds like youre new to synths entirely maybe? if so, give it a while...like..months...years even...to internalize all the possibilities (or, rather, some of them)

I am pretty new to be honest. I come from a guitar background. I have a TB 303 which I like because I twist a knob and it sounds great. The supernova has loads of knobs ! I shall download the manual.

if you can think of anything else apart from a brain transplant please let me know. I guess all synths are the same?

they are not all _the same_ but most, like the supernova, are based on subtractive synthesis, and the general principles are the same

it really might do you a bit of good to search out some synth programming books or the like.

or, another way to learn is to deconstruct a patch (also called a preset or sometimes program) and see what makes it tick...

but its basically just oscillators, envelopes, filters, LFOs and amp output.

give it time. its definitely not something that comes to you immediately, and the SN isnt exactly a "simple" synth (not that it cant be programmed simply)

anyway...google...amazon maybe (or a local bookstore or library)



check this link:

http://www.access-music.de/downloads.php4?product=viruskb&file=167

...its "Programming Analogue Synths" and is geared towards the access virus, but definitely covers lots of the basics in general subtractive synthesis.

I have decided to keep hold of the supernova and learn it!
Many thanks and sorry to be a pain in the ass!
