In the past, I was very interested in the Supernova, but a friend of
mine mentioned that you can actually hear the aliasing in the algorithm.
Now Novation may well have fixed this in the past 10 or so years, but
beware: specifications aren't everything when it comes to VA synths.

The AN1x is just a very capable synth for not a lot of money. It doesn't
have dozens of polyphonic notes, but that's pretty useless anyway for a
analogue (whether real or virtual) synthesiser. There's a certain sound
to each synth, so to have four or five instances of that... it would
make more sense to expand the number of voices by acquiring a different
synth.
My wish list currently contains two synths:
∗ Nord Wave
∗ Arturia Origin
But since both cost about as much as I earn in a month after taxes, and
there are these things like mortgage and food for my family, they will
likely remain on that wish list for some time to come.
