COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER NOVATION PRODUCTS
Data compatibility with SN II series
Limited provision has been made for the Nova Laptop to load system exclusive dumps from a Supernova II Keyboard, Nova II
Keyboard or Supernova II Rack.
However, it will not be possible to take across all of the parameters into the Nova Laptop. Certain features such as FM algorithms,
extended envelope parameters and extended effects parameters are unique to the 2nd generation series and cannot be taken
across. These features will be ignored if taken across via Sysex.
Other features such as special filter width and unison are common to both series, but are available in a reduced form on the Nova
Laptop. In such cases, the settings will be approximated as closely as possible when taken across via Sysex.
New features common with 2nd generation series (can be taken
across) :
Osc special waveform : Double saw
Filter special types (all)
Unison on/off
Unison voices
Special filter width modulation
Pan effects
Constant gate
Global prog change tx option
Global controllers tx option
Global finder demo switch
Global knob mode
The Pan effects, Special Filter width & VCO Drift parameters can only be transferred successfully if the transmitting Supernova II or
Nova II has the forthcoming OS 2 or above installed.
New features common with 2nd generation series in limited form (can
be taken across) :
Unison detune (default unison detune value applied when Unison is on)
Special filter width (rounded to nearest pre-set value)
VCO drift (converted to DCO/VCO mode)
Arp gate time (rounded to nearest pre-set value)
