Sounds for Synth has released a brand new soundbank, Gotham, containing 128 patches for the Novation Supernova / Supernova II synthesizers.
The sounds range from cloned vintage sounds, beautiful pads, thick basses, piercing leads to dreamy keys and FM sounds.
Here’s an audio demo of the Gotham patch library:

That would be great if those synths were not so rare. The Nova seems to appear used for around $400 and it still beats the heck out of most current synths. A Supernova is far more the uber-synth to beat than most recent things. (Good luck even finding one now.) Novation’s mini-synths have the great sound quality of their ancestors, but there’s no beating the pleasure of really playing the earlier knob-rich beauties. A Supernova, especially the II model, is on a certain par with a Prophet-12. Both are meant to be tweezed, as the presets only hint at the inner powers. They’re pretty much modulars in slab-synth clothing.
I’m lucky enough to own a 48 voice SuperNovation Rack. It’s an awesome synth. And these are awesome sounds for it. Thanks.
May I borrow it for the weekend? I’ll sample the hell out of the presets and have it back in top shape before “The Simpsons” appear on Sunday, promise.
I wonder if this would work on my nova 2 . Might have to try it.
Sounds like my Ultranova…
Not impressed. Another lacklustre demo just like the Analog Keys. Dancers? Perhaps these videos do no justice so I am waiting to see how practical demos fare.
Sorry wrong post – the above comments from me was for Elektron AR. Supernova and Supernova II on the other hand, sounded really good.
Supernova is STILL a top-class synth, after all these years!
