I am now in the throes of anticipation as I await my new controller to arrive. I have to temporarily retire the Phatty while its analogue board takes a trip to the US, which is why the UltraNova has arrived. While I wait, I have some questions!
First up, does the UN do Envelope looping? A look through the manual says it does, but it is not clearly stated. If anyone has patches that demonstrate it, let me know. I know there are lots of soundbanks available, so if you know which ones, I will load them up firstly.
Secondly, I am going to use this as a keyboard controller, through Mainstage. I intend to use mostly just the keyboard for my outboard gear,
This should work OK - do I really need Automap,
Which might end up getting in the way of my workflow?
Next, I suspect I am going to try to plugin the synth using USB, which I am uncomfortable with.
Is the sound quality OK with this? I am not intending to plug lots of external gear into it, but just use the synth output over USB as an Aggregat device. This "should" work ok?
Next up, MIDI control will likely be over USB as well. I intend to use the Plugin to program it a bit
But also play other instruments from the keyboard as required. If I set the UN to Local Off, it will do the right thing when I select it as a Track and play itself? I am guessing so, but just want confirmation.
I am partly gettng this synth because of the six envelopes and 20 mod sources. I know it is never going to come close to FIZMO, but how good are the wavetables? If I can get a certain level of complexity with env looping, arpeggiation and chord shifting, it should be enough to jam with?
Thanks if you read this far....
