Novation SuperNova II

anyone use, or know much about this hard synth? worth getting?

The Supernova 2 is one of my favorites.. although I dont own one I think it has superb sound.. and really depends on what kinda tracks you produce..

Future Music gave it 10/10..
To hear the possible sounds of it (if u havent heard already) vengeance makes awesome soundbanks for synths.. Supernova 2 Blue Magic Sound

I would sit down and do a google search for it (if u havent already) and just compare each synth in that price range.. because when purchasing a new synth you dont want to get disappointed with what you purchase.

Reads some reviews..
In my opinion it looks nice and sounds nice.. But thats just me.

DJ-Rob,

Heya thanks for the reply, it does sound good, buddy of mine, is downsizeing his studio, and he has a 24 voice version, he will let me get at a GOOD!! Price. 800$.. he lives a couple of hours away, he don't produce Trance tho, so he don't need it he thinks. I wanna start producing Trance. I already have a JP-8000 and Virus KC, but someone told me also about the SuperNova II . I think i might get it.

800$ vs $2,000 new. can't go wrong.

Wow, to be honest those are fine for starting out.. I would maybe think about getting a diffrent piece of equipment.. maybe monitors or something ..the jp has great sounds, virus is a classic..

those 2 synths should last you awhile before buying another synth, however if you can get the supernova 2 for 800 i wouldnt pass up that deal..

-Enjoy

DJ Rob,

Heya, someone told me dunno if it's true or not, the 4 Must Hardware Synths are:

JP-8000 or 8080
Virus KC
Supernova II
and Waldorf Q/Q+

As far as Monitors, I got a decent Pair of Behringer Truth's.

I think i will get the Keyboard, can't pass up the deal, and I feel, that I can spread the sound's with all 3 keyboards

Wow, those are amazing! I should really invest in a decent VA synth. If I could just find one used at a decent price.. 800 sounds like a good deal, you cant get a used Nova 1 here for that price..

$800!!! Fear!!!! hehe

not that it matters, plus I think I am only a minority here, but for some reason I started to believe that SNII does sound a bit "cold" lately. I also have JP8080, KC, and SNII (plus JD800) but for some reason I am not in agreement with SNII lately. It just doesn't impress me as much as it used to.

It has some decent sounds but out of the box - you have to tinker with them to get what you want to hear, if you're lucky. I use it sparsely, devoting most of the time I do play to the Virus.

Just a thought and a counterpoint.
