You talking about the Supernova??????
the Novas are not software nor are sampled based Romplers!!!they use real Osc like most other VA!!!I think your confusing the Supernovas with the V station!!!which whilst a VST is still real Oscillators not samples!!!!!!
the Supernovas are very powerful synths,I used to have the original Nova(desktop) module was quite a useful synth and great for general weird and wonderful noises,I traded my Nova in for the KS5 which is the same technology featured in the Novas that use the Liquid Analog technology,
I looked at adding a Supernova 2 rack to my setup,but decided on the KS5 synth,plus the price was quite high for the SN at the time so i opted for the cheaper KS5....
One of the good things about the Novas and KS when you edit a program,with fx etc,most synths when they have those programs contained within a Multi setup usually share FX algorhtyms between a set amount of Timbres ,with the Novas when your in a multisetup the programs parameters including all FX are retained which most synths should incorporate,and given the SN are 8 part multi thats quite a powerful and useful tool....
Most people over look the Nova and KS range due to the shitty programming of the presets,these machines are so much more than a couple of dance/Trance patches,and anyone with a good programming base will coax some wicked sounds out of it,You can eve coax some very good Minimoog basses and leads out of the Novas/KS due to its 3 oscillator structure and for Moog autheticty 24db Low pass filter....
The Supernovas are a good investment to any setup,great hands on interface very easy to get around ,as there well laid out.....One of the best VA made better than the Nords IMO and most other VA of the time(apart from the JP8K of course!!!)
Go for the SN2 keyboard version if you can,More polyphony and more control (additional Knobs)there was also a limited edition Silver model too,which looks similar to the KS4/KS5.....
I didn't know that.
