Two Words - COO-OOOL! This is a very nice peice of equipment. Great sound and Flexibilty. Good solid quality feel too. Anything analog - Oberheims, Arps, Minimoogs and so on can be emulated superbly. Nice warm rich sound. Extremely clean signal but can be quite fuzzy and dirty sounding with a little work. If you haven't heard a bad joke in a while read the manual. Not so bad as Roland Manuals. But you really shouldn't bother. All of the instructions are staring you in the face. Knobs and buttons galore. Easy to program like my JD-800 but no digital stepping sounds whatsoever when editing. Smoooth. Presets are generally good and useable to some extent. The acoustic emulations piano's etc. are s-a-d. You could accidentally fall on the thing and create a better sound. The Arpeggiator - is just plain wicked fun. Its a steal at $1100. It's been keeping me awake at night tweaking and composing. Feel... weak... need ....food..must...eat...

I received my Nova a couple of days ago and WOOOOO!!!!!Definitely a GREAT synthesizer BUT: -the sound is somehow too pure even with much distorsion. -the vocoder's output signal is very low which can be annoying in a mix. -the manual SUCKS:some important info is missing (sysex dump) and the french translation is just a bad joke
Anyway,this definitely an incredible piece of gear.GET ONE!!!!NOW!!!!

sound: simply the warmest VA built today.
value: for 1049usd, the best in its class
i will say that just 2 days after recieving it, i bought a nord lead II rack, just because the nova is not as 'in yer face' as the nord. this is of course my expirienced opinion.

I've had this machine for 4 months, and I just love it! It's so utterly well-designed, and the quality of sound, interface, buttons are tremedous! Often I start making music just to squeak those knops and listen to those fantastic filters ... Ok, it's a dream machine, no doubt, but not a stand-alone. The sound is very pure, almost clinical. Even the distortion doesn't make the sound dirty and noisy for real. I also got a Roland Jupiter 4, and when it comes to not-so-well-defined trip-hop dirty analogue retro this one is still the master (compared to the Nova at least).
