| I'm thinking of getting a new hardware synth. Currently I have an Access Virus C. I'm thinking of getting a Novation Supernova II or a Roland JP-8080. Any recommendations? |

Neither.
Why get another subtractive synth. You're gonna find they do the same thing. I'm in the exact same situation mate, and I was thinking about getting something that works differently. I was looking at a waldorf microwave XT. You can get em 2nd hand for around $1000 plus shipping and power adaptor, or something more specialised like a bass station.
My suggestion is to keep diving into the virus. It can make such a great depth of sounds. Percussion wise its not the best, but otherwise, you've got a great tool. |

I will second the Microwave XT.
You may want to look at the new Roland V-Synth, it can make sounds any VA can only dream of. |

| I would suggest looking at the Alesis Ion or the JP. If you have the money, why not look at a Moog Voyager. |

haha reviews, I mess with Alesis ION at my job and it rocks. But the virus can make the same sounds. 3 votes for microwave xt or even a waldorf pulse ... listen to the sounds a pulse can make
