- R-Tek, lol

- Phill, your support has been absolutely superb; a more factor in my decision to buy a SN. If FM had a catagory for company support, you'd surely take all awards. Blow off the slags, and keep up the great work for those who really are serious about Novation products.

R-tek!

Your'e totally right it�s Casio, but the Nova�s real threat would actually be if Casio released a version of thier sampler SK-1 that could store the sample even when the power is off.. Thheres nothing worse than the power going off when you recorded the ultimate ape-fart sample...

Face it, the Nova just can�t make those ultrarealistic 4-bit quality ape-fart samples(OS4 maybe?, "the ultimate apefart patch"), but I'm gonna buy one anyway, my target date is the 20th December this year, I know what I�ll be doing all x-mas, and it does not involved apefarts because the synthsized version is called monkeypoof =)

Im not sure if the guys at FM are so much into apefarts as im pretending to be ;)

I've said it before in a couple of places...I agree with V (whom I seem to be following around on various threads today) the support has been 2nd to none - and by a long shot at that. The only downside to the great support is that after the 1st couple of weeks (and sorry, I'm a Supernova owner-but they ARE sisters) I haven't needed any support so I haven't been able to take advantage.

I'll have to try harder to find something I can't figure out how to do on the SN. I turn it on and it just sings. I like R-Teks' Casiotone postulate though.

I did really love my BassStation when I had it as well...how about a more powerfull analogue mono now, Phil? Analogue Poly?........u really need 2 start kicking booty again in that arena.....

how about a "Home Keyboard" with "accompaniment" ryhtyms like "Samba" and "Bossa Nova" which all sound the same?...................No, that would b stupid, better take my silly hat off........and have a lie down.....

Hey juno-sith,

Casio actually did release a sampling keyboard - the SK5 which DID remember your ape-fart samples after you turned the power off (provided you had batteries inside).

Not only that, it can actually store FOUR different ape-fart samples at once and play them using four dedicated touch pads - ultra Kool or what ?

Perhaps Novation had better start worrying after all....

God you guys talk a load of shit!!

Looky here.
Now isnt it strange how Mr Phil from Novation was the person to start this chat forum.
OOooo now that Ive won my rigged award I think Ill go on the net and brag about my self!!! And what do I see here, O yes its Mr R-tek to the rescue on the exact same day that Phil posted his messages.
You guys suck.
Why dont you just let you machine do the talking for it self. Its hard enough for young musicians to choose the right piece of equipment as it is without you guys filling there minds with utter crap!!
Grow up MEN!!!

ZZzzzz,

You seem to waste a lot of time and energy putting other people down in this forum. Perhaps it's you that should grow up. For a guy who can't stand the Nova, you sure do spend a lot of time here. Why are you so interested if you think it is such sh*t? Perhaps it's insecurity?

Go make music and be happy.

These guys in here making these comments about the Nova not being any good and the Future Music poll being fixed have no basis for these comments. They hold no water. I've been making electronic music for good deal of time now and in recent years I've been composing Techno (actually Progessive Trance) music. Some of the more recent instruments I own or have owned are Roland JP8000, Roland JP8080, Yamaha AN1x, Access Virus, and Novation Nova.
Now none of these instruments are perfect but the Nova is absolutley the most beautiful, easy to use, cheapest piece of gear you can get for your money for this type of music. I'll tell you I voted for the Nova (3) times I like it so much. I never voted for my JP8000 (I've since sold it). I never felt compelled to vote for my JP8080 last year (I've since sold it too); and I never felt strong enough to vote for the AN1x or Virus either (I still own the AN1x). Nova owners and fans really appreciate this piece of hardware and they chose to vote for it in FM. This doesn't mean this other instruments suck; but rather Novation is doing a great job.. people are making spectacular music with the Nova.

Seems to me these people slagging off the Nova are jealous morons.I bet they are pissed off because the Nova blows away their "super synth" which probably cos half as much again as a Nova.
The Nova is great so come to terms with it BOYS!

Personal preference really. I like the nova A LOT but 4 what I want 2 do, I felt the Virus was more 4 me........dont flame me, I`m just trying 2 give a bit of balance 2 all of this, if a synth tries 2 b everything 2 everybody; it`ll end up meaning nothing 2 anyone.

I agree with R-Tek. People tend to forget, that it is often different sounding synths which makes a piece sound more "pro".

R-tek, sorry for flaming u earlier.
I recently read over your postings and you dont suck as much as I thought you did.Actually you probably dont suck at all.
Probably I have shown a bit to much emotion in the past but my only point is that I have owned both synths so my judgment is personal but by no means biased. Ive been in the biz for a decade and a half and to me the nova was cool but by no means lived up to what most people on these pages were saying.
So my only conclusion was maybe the people making these claims were the people making the instruments and not the users.
Sorry if I suck. I cant help myself.

No problem. Like I said: "Personal Preference"......really all depends on what sort of music you`re into and what sort of sounds u desire.

Congrats to Novation on making some superb instruments! is all I can say. And I had to post this just because it'll show up below R-Tek. Compare our prose style, you'll see we're radically different personalities. He's clear and to the point, whereas I'm garrulous and obtuse.

Me, I play an SN, an MWXT, JP-8000/XP-80 and FS1R and Audity 2K... and I love 'em _all_. All my children. May they all live long and prosper. The SN's sound is gorgeous, though, it stands out for that right out of the box.

So, to Novation: Well Deserved!

Garrulous means "talks a lot" (my Indian name). There's loup garoux... and then there's just, "talks a lot" -- garrulous. Born at the beginning of ancient Mediterranean history, around the time of Romulous and Remus.

Good Job on winning the award Novation. To bad I dont have a Nova or Super. One day when I ever go to Sacremento and look around I'll see Which Synth I want to bring home. Nice Job on winning the award fro your Supernova and now your new Nova. It now makes me really wonder whats behind that blue box with knobs and buttons on it.

PS. If your a gamer check out the Internet Site I put in. Its an online Multiplayer gaming site and you can play for free. You must own the game that the site supports though. There are many games to choose from so you may have somthing.

Hey Phil, what about a Novation midi sequencer ? Something suited for live/production work with a bunch of midi ports and a hands-on approach. No need for internal sounds or sampler like the rm1x or mpc's, it would only make things more expensive.

And what about making the software open-source ? There are enough electronic musicians out there who are also serious tech-heads and who wouldn't mind a bit of low-level code-digging to customize/enhance their sequencers.

Just an idea...

I agree with purple's midi sequencer suggestion, and I wanted to have something like this for quite some time. Think of a patternbased-style sequencer like the MC-303 or RM1x but without sounds, but with more sequncing capabilities and focusing on being fun to program.

Nah, no built in sounds; A SAMPLER. Not a half arsed one like the MPC, but a proper rackmount style jobbie with analogue filters and whatnot...........mmmmmm....

I would love to see the company that has put out the best synth I've owned to date, go and produce a stand-alone midi sequencer similar to the Roland (blech!) mc-80 but with all the character that is novation and without
the homogenized feel that is built into every circuit board that comes from Rolands manufacuring campuses.

Respectully,
Mike aka anomol-E
