Hy nova guy's

I have got a nova, but in my head I have a doubt, have I buy the right rack?
I make techno and dance music, and nova seem to be too fat, too big sometimes.
Can it make the same sound like virus or not?

Help me!
Thanx

Sitar, have you tried programming something up on the SN and then trying the same thing on the EMU. Obviously you don't want to modulate the oscillators on the SN as you can't replicate that on the EMU. By doing this you can get some very good results because the filters will give you a very different sound to the SN. I found this a good way of getting into using my A3000 as a synth as well as a sampler and now wish I'd bought the EMU as the A3000 OS is a bit of a pain for this.

CK, I haven't unleashed the EMU on the SN, or visa versa. I've thought about it. Sounds like fun. Thanks. Wish there was more time in the week. Gotta get to it.

I have both the SN and Virus. I said they are too different to compare directly. But in my opinion the Virus have a lot more punchy, powerfull sound than SN (if that is what you want).

I'm trying right now Virus plug-in for ProTools. It rocks! It's different than SN and... I feel I have to have both.
Together is a complete system with smoothness Of SN and more punchy Virus.
Bastard, does not have graphical editor and still have to turn these knobs I hate so much. It's unbelievable how good Virus sounds as a s/ware synth. I would not say he sounds better than SN but he does not sounds worse. I love it.
IMHO days of hardware synths are almost gone. One more year and huge racks will disappear. All stuff will be on screens.
Phil!
Start on SN plug-in. FAST! ;-D
In Australia SN costs $5000.
For a Virus I've paid $1200.
If I would have Virus first, most likely I would not buy Supernova for $5000.

if you wanna work fast, get an old 12 bit sampler... simple immeadiate sampling but no timestretch etc... still - they are fast to use
