The Novation Supernova is the analog-modelling rack synth that put Novation on the map: three oscillators and a proper resonant filter per voice, run through seven simultaneous effects, for a synth that sounds far bigger than its 3U frame. This one's OS version 4.1 and confirmed running its full 20-voice polyphony on the display.

FEATURES & PROS:

• 20-Voice Polyphony: Analog-modelling engine (ASM) confirmed live on the display at 20 voices.
• Triple Oscillators: Square, saw and variable pulse-width waveforms, plus noise, per voice.
• Serious Filter: Switchable Hi/Low/Band-pass at 12/18/24dB per octave, resonant and self-oscillating, with overdrive.
• Seven Effects At Once: Distortion, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, delay, pan/tremolo, 2-band EQ and comb filtering, all per voice.
• Full I/O: Master output plus three stereo aux outs, MIDI In/Out/Thru.
• Made in England: Genuine late-90s Novation build quality.
