The 'I feel love' patches on the video don't even come close...

Do you mean the Sweetwater vid? I think the ping pong delay on the bass could be easily fixed, and with some EQing it would be really close. The percussion was played with tempo set too fast but a reasonable attempt. Tempo setting might have been screwing up the bass delay as well. It's hard to judge them properly when they aren't mixed in together (it being a single-timbral synth).

I don't know if the patches were done by Moroder or Daniel Fisher, but I will say Daniel is a true wiz at sound design. Some of the ones in his Ultranova sound bank are instantly recognizable creations of some pretty difficult to program vintage sounds. They aren't very useful as patches or usable in any other song but they do showcase his design skill and the versatility of the Nova.

Yeah...should have said that. I wasn't blown away by any of the patches on the vid tbh but I've heard 'I feel love' a thousand times & they didn't come close. Hey if you're charging an extra $50 on the strength of a few patches & a different paint job they should really cut it. They are apparently Moroder approved so not programmed by him.
Bit like the 'darkstar' just a gimmick to sell the same shit in a new wrapper

Just bought a Mininova, time to reorganise my studio! (And do some tests against the Virus...)

Congrats, these are great synths.
