Members Michael Blue Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 Nice! I believe I've purchased from them before (via eBay) and had good experience with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members acidduck Posted December 26, 2010 Members Share Posted December 26, 2010 From what I understand you can use it as a *controller* just fine. The 'older' novation controllers (remote, remote sl, etc) were also able to be used as a usb midi *interface* for your external gear, so information could flow from the usb cable to the physical midi ports and vice versa. It seems the ultranova 'swallows' midi data coming from the computer to the UN through the usb cable and doesn't pass that info along to the physical midi ports. I don't have this new piece of gear, nor have I touched it (I do have the remote sl though) , but from I have read in this thread, I believe that is what is meant. Thats exactly right wackawa. I am glad my blabbering makes sense to someone :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yourfavfreak Posted December 30, 2010 Members Share Posted December 30, 2010 I am in the USA and I now own the UltraNova, ordered from Sweetwater, who shipped it free Fedex ground but it still got here in two days. Cool. I wanted to report what I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bernard Posted January 8, 2011 Members Share Posted January 8, 2011 Anyone changed their mind after gas down or still likely to buy? Maybe waiting till NAMM is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bernard Posted January 8, 2011 Members Share Posted January 8, 2011 I held out on buying the Ultranova and GAIA because the lack of being multitimbral. I'm glad i waited 'cause the Venom is right up my alley. Good move.. I hope it sounds good too.... As for the NU, feeling less and less towards it.. love some of the sounds, but just not into stuff that hooks up to a PC for best results or tweaking.. nice to have though for some things...

Members Michael Blue Posted January 8, 2011 Members Share Posted January 8, 2011 I think people are missing the point. You can use the UN without a PC at all.The PC just adds editing and a librarian, just like MANY other synths lately. I have an M-Audio synth with their "synth-action" keybed, and it feels terrible.For the same price as the UN (and others) with no aftertouch, etc., I wonder where the market is for the Venom.Obviously I'd have to hear it before I completely dismiss it, but if it feels like an Oxygen49, I doubt I could enjoy playing it.

Seriously I would like to confirm that I know how it works without PC Part of the ARP is only controllable from the keyboard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members D Carroll Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 I bought the ultranova simply because the rhodes setting was {censored}ing wonderful. The rest isn't bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MuzikB Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Anyone changed their mind after gas down or still likely to buy? Maybe waiting till NAMM is over? I did. Too into Music Theory right now and the keybed isn't 4 octaves C to C and I don't need another audio interface. I'll reconsider a purchase if they come out with a rack version before Kurzweil does.

Members Acid Hazard Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Looks like i'm now back in the market for an UltraNova. I was going to get a V-Synth, but that fell through. I don't think there's anywhere in Seattle that has any though =o[ Guess i'll hit up E-Bay. Appears Sweetwater is out of stock right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Acid Hazard Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yeah, GC has them. But none of the satellite stores have them. Looks like online only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gribs Posted January 9, 2011 Members Share Posted January 9, 2011 I have very little personal interest. This is not because I don't like the synth but because I just don't think its particular set of features is a good fit. I am heading slowly towards the path of something else but I am not sure what. I am thinking high end, analog, polyphonic, and pricey with long-term planning/saving/gear selling required, like an Omega 8 or a SunSyn (or P'08 PE rack as a lagging third choice).

Members liliththekitten Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I like it but $700 seems a bit much. want a Mopho keyboard first. maybe a used (or cheap) Radias or SH-201. Or if Korg does something interesting soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dhollmusik Posted January 28, 2011 Members Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have a question to all Ultranova owners. Why have none of you felt inclined to write a User Review? There is not one user review of this synth, which has otherwise generated a lot of interest. I'm very interested in the fate of the Harmony Central User Reviews...it seems no one uses it anymore.
