New in Nova 2
2.0 Eclipse User Guide
The Fast Configuration Window
This window allows you to set default parameters, such as EQ On, Dynamics On, Level to
0dB, bus routing, etc. for input, Aux, Group, Matrix, Master and VCA channels. You can
choose to apply your settings to the current mix, or use the settings for new channels
assigned to the surface from the Personal Console Builder. See Page 318.
Assignable Functions for the User Defined Panel
The six VU meters, four rotary controls and four switches on the USER DEFINED panel can
now be assigned from a variety of functions. These include short cuts to favourite menus;
selecting and sending MIDI program changes; grouped switch changes; access to functions
such as tap tempo. See Page 322.
Over Ram for Direct I/O
New OVERRAM buttons on the PATCH DIRECT display allow you to select a single
crosspoint, or an area of crosspoints, so that patching and IO parameters can be written into
other Pages in RAM. This allows you to modify settings for inputs or outputs which are not
assigned to the console surface, such as a talkback microphone. See Page 256.
Over Ram for Aux Sends
Two new options for Aux mixes exist within the Over Ram display, see Page 399:
• All Inputs to Aux Send – allows you to Over Ram all sends to an Aux (or Auxes) in
one operation.
• Selected Inputs to Aux Send – allows you to Over Ram selected sends to an Aux
(or Auxes). For example, if you just want to change the level of one instrument to a
monitor feed.
Multiple Copy and Paste
This operation copies settings from a range of channels, allowing you to paste them to a
different range. For example, if the same drummer plays in more than one song and you
wish to vary the channel layout between songs, you can copy the drum mix to a different set
of channels within each Page. See Page 394.
Integrated Control of Ethersound Devices including Aqonda, DM-8 and SR-16
I/O patching can now be controlled for any Ethersound device detected on the network. In
addition, the Nova software supports parameter control for specially supported Ethersound
devices. These include Digigram’s Aqonda 16, Innovason’s SR-16 and Neumann’s DMI-8.
