NOVATIONISH - NOVATION JARGON
In this manual there are several terms used that may lead to confusion if not fully understood. Below is an explanation of all the
Novationish used in this manual
Program
This is the simplest type of sound Supernova II Rack can create. These are accessed by pressing the Program button.
Other Manufacturers sometimes call these Patches or Partials.
Drum Map
This is the special arrangement where many Programs are arranged across the master keyboard, ( one for each note ) & are all
accessed simultaneously. The Drum Maps are accessed by pressing the Program button & the Bank buttons. Other Manufacturers
sometimes call these Drumkits.
Performance
This is the most complex type of sound Supernova II Rack can create. It is made up of 8 different sounds called Parts. These Parts
can be layered or set up as splits to form the Performance. Performances are accessed by pressing the Performance button. Other
Manufacturers sometimes call these Multis, Multisetups or Combinations.
Part
This is one of the 8 sounds or Parts of a Performance. The sound assigned to a Part is called a Program.
Other Manufacturers sometimes call these Timbres.
Voice
This is a measurement of polyphony. One voice is the equivalent of one note being played. One voice in the Supernova II Rack
uses three Oscillators, two Ring Modulators & a Noise generator as sound sources. All these sound sources can be used simulta-
neously in one Voice.
Oscillator
This is the basic waveform generator in the Supernova II Rack. As described above there are three Oscillators per Voice.
Sync Effect
This is a parameter of one oscillator that simulates the “Sync Effect” generated by 2 Analogue oscillators in a “Oscillator Sync” con-
figuration. For more details refer to page 6 - About Analogue Synthesis.
Hardness Effect
This is a parameter that controls the harmonic content of any waveform. Full Hardness Effect on a waveform produces a normal
wave. Minimum Hardness produces an near sine wave. This is similar to having a separate LPF for each oscillator. For more
details refer page 8 - About Analogue Synthesis.
Analogue Sound Modelling™
This is the Synthesis System the Supernova II Rack uses to create sound. Created by Novation, this new method of synthesis was
first used in the Award winning Novation Drum Station.
When this symbol appears in the manual this indicates an important feature, or a destructive function such as Writing data to mem-
ory etc.
