Indeed, there is one on ebay, but €889,- is a bit too much for the 24 voice version.

Yep- that's right. But I do wonder why you'd need another VA??

Because I loooove VA's. It's the best between analogue (they are mostly not multitimbral and have very limited memory patches) and digital ( totally other sounds, I'll buy one another time, but there's nothing above VA's!).
And indeed, there are soooo many synths I want to have. (And I simply don't have the money
).

Sure they're cool - but question is if it will add much to your sonic palette. It's up to you of course, I mean, you can buy 23 VAs and I won't mind - I'm just trying to advice. I think the Supernova as opposed to the OB12 (although I don't know both machines too well) offers an additional Oscillator and a little more onboard effects.....

Yes, but I play all things live. I don't work much with overdubbing. I like the sound of VA's, and I need some more multitimbrality. I don't know if it becomes the supernova, but I'm almost sure it will be a VA.

OR Jarrekid would say you Alesis ION
They are much less expensive, and much better IMHO...
The Yamaha AN1x is an excellent VA and costs +/- 250€, check it
If I were you, I would buy a JD800

Yeah, so much choice and no money...
I am in the same case
Try to work a little bit, as I did to pay my JP8k, and you will be able to offer you a good VA

Search them on the internet, or go to your library and look for a fund-book. When you found one, you have only to write them, and tell them what you want and why, and with a little bit luck, they'll donate you some money for per example a synth.
Remember: for everything you want, there is a fund!

I didn't (but I'm gonna do) but a friend of mine got half his synth from a dutch fund! Here in the netherlands we've got even a fund for youth that want to buy a quality instrument, but don't have the money. (hey, my situation
)
