Don't get me wrong: I think the SuperNova sounds wonderful and the
layout (user interface) is well thought out too! I wish I could spend
more hands on time with one. Your point regarding the Nova should be
well taken as an alternative to "stock piling" (I use the term VERY
loosely) PLG150-AN cards. My ∗personal∗ preference has always been
for the Nord Lead 2 but that's another matter altogether and I'm
already on record as being a fan of the Nord user interface :-)
Still, back to the Plugstation (what's in a name, anyway? ;-) you
have to admire the fact that somebody is actually bringing a viable,
aftermarket accessory like the Plugstation to fruition. It's been
∗years∗ since anything like this was made and I hope the trend
continues! Remember those old DX7 hacks from Grey Matter Response, or
that DW8000 mod from Angel somethingorother in Germany( and didn't
they do one for the D50 too?) What about the "Frontal Lobe" mod for
the Korg M1?! I think it's great that they've done this and I wish
them all due success.
