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.
