NovaStation: The Nova has arrived
- The cat is out of the bag! Despite all floating rumours which claimed that Novation will introduce an expanded version of the Supernova, Novation showed a somehow stripped-down version of the Supernova - the Nova. The Nova has 12 voices of the same architecture as the Supernova, stores 2 banks of 128 programs and 1 bank of 128 performances, has 6 parts (including an arpeggiator and 7 effects for each part). It is not a rack unit, has 20 knobs and lots of buttons. One thing where the Nova is better than the Supernova: It has 2 analog inputs which can be used as oscillators. Great! The price will be approximately the half of a 16 voice Supernova. Overall, this is good news for us Supernova owners. It means that Novation still feels commited to this line and we definately will see OS 3 after the Musikmesse 1999.
