"The Nova IIX is one of the best virtual analogs ever made, which is why you don't see them for sale very often. The Nova II has the complete synth engine from the top-of-the-line Supernova II, and this is the X version, which means that it has 24 voices. It's got an unbelievably fat and smooth sound, and some features that most brand-new synth models don't even have. It can shriek, belch, and howl like a massive 80s analog polysynth, or it can be silky, sparkly, and ethereal like a D50 or WaveStation. Or both at once.
It's got multiple filter types, including many dual-filter configurations and an 18dB lowpass option that gives it a wicked, squelchy, 808 sound; 8 different FM and ring mod algorithms; virtual sync oscillators so you can use hard sync on a single oscillator without using up any of the other three oscillators per voice; modulatable doublesaw waves plus additional wave options via sync skew, formant width, and hardness waveshaping; the best programmable arpeggiator in the industry; balanced inputs and 6 independent outputs; an excellent 42-band vocoder; an internal power supply (just say no to wall warts!); user-rewritable memory for 512 programs; separate hardware controls for each multitimbral performance part; a constant gate button for the inputs and vocoder; and the icing on the cake—7 independent simultaneous effects on EACH of 6 multitimbral parts in a performance!"
