The SNova/Nova 2 sound fantastic.
I have Nova 1 and I don't really feel
a major itch to upgrade.

The Nova can make really HUGE sounds as it is. If you don't think so, you havent spent enough time with it.

The Nova series are great, now I am going to make some more music...

PS. I will put up some of my fav Nova sounds on my webby real soon.

>> Some stuff is warm and some is thin <<
Wrong, I've heard that the main criterium for any voice in an arrangement is FAT,FAT,FATTER ;-) Punchy pads full of fat as if they had eaten lots of Bic Macs, driving leads, harsher distortion are the words.
And a "Final OS" of course ;-)

You guys are right. The sn sound is very much like the finished article ie compressed, gated etc. Problem with that is if you want dirt and harshness, the sn isnt the way to go. When i had my nova, i tried loads to chuck it through some lo-fi stuff to get it angrier. When i got my jupe 6 it sounded like a raging animal compared to the nova, without going through anything!

Im not saying i didnt like the snova sound, I miss it alot and at the moment i am debating whether to get a sn2 or possibly hang on and see whether roland come up with something new. Anyone heard of anything?

IMHO the wavetable synthesis is excellent for harshness.

I get plenty of dirt out of it. I also run it throught the distortion on my DSPFactory card. just use some external processing. I agree with stephan on the grit. I layer the nova pads with gritty XT pads. Very nice combo.

If you want harshness you need to play with the the oscillator sync, filter and effects distortion and the comb filter, it's all there but you've got to put the time in to learn how to use it...

the preste sounds of the nova really are very clean and �produced�
if you strip of the tons of chorus and reverb, etc. you start to get more raw sounds.
i programmed a lot of sounds, that you would never associate with this synth, because they sound so brutal and nasty.
it just takes some unconventional programming, to get really lo fi and dirty sounds out of the nova, even without external effects.
