| Notes | The following year saw the release of an update to Novation’s Supernova, the Supernova II. Supernova II was available in 24, 36 and 48-voice models with additional 12 or 24-voice expansion boards. Available again in a 3U rack-mount format, the Supernova II was also available in a 61-note performance keyboard version with velocity and aftertouch, enabling sound tweaking during live performance. FM synthesis capability was included along with ring modulation, dual analogue inputs and a 42-band vocoder. An 8-part arpeggiator was also on board and in its full version this British-designed and built supersynth offered 8-part multitimbrality and 48-voice polyphony, with 57 and 2304 oscillators running simultaneously. |
