What to get? Supernova II or Nord Lead 2x (I own virus b)

[Digitalkidd]

I can't make up my mind..

I want it for mainly trace arp sounds...

Am I forgetting something?

If you want it for trance arps, then I'd say the SupernovaII. The Nords are more for harsh on the top leads.

The supernova has a really nice character for those trance arps!
If you like the trance act from Rome "Nu-Nrg", that's very representative of their sound.

Nordlead is awesome for lush trance pads but not that much for leads.

Actually I should have high-lighted that fact too. You won't be getting any of those layered saw style leads with the NL2, just mix penetrating hard edge stuff.

Anyway, let us know what you end up with.

Get the Nova and a Nord for the price of a Supernova 2!

[Osci]

for trance i would go for the supernova I own the nord2 and would not want to use it for trance. It is to rough and cutting. plus no interal fx.

thats my bag

I agree... Get the Supernova for trance.

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

Actually a Jupiter 6 is good at trance/dance type arpegios.....

Doesnt have any real onbaord arp's to speak of....so that side of things would have to be done on your sequencer I guess....

But failing that....then I would have to say that if you could get hold of a Novation KS4 or KS5 (and they are really cheap) and a Nord2X you would be set for that type of music.

Why get another synth for trace arp sounds when you have a Virus? I think the Virus is better at those sounds than both Supernova and Nordlead, but if you should get one of those synth Id say get the Nord, because it sound better overall.

If you want your music to sound squeeky clean and repulsive, get a SuperNova.

I had one and had to sell it because it's too clean. Everything you do with it sounds like pop music.

ABSOLUTELY GREAT FOR TRANCE!!!!
