I just got an Ultranova so I decided to do a thread to review it later, since I actually cannot use it cuz I am not in my home. If you have any comments or question feel free to ask! Anyways, here is my story about buying it:

Well I just followed my very own advice and decided to get myself a Novation Ultranova.

I am on a shopping vacation with my family on Houston and walked into a guitar center decided to get a sub 800 synth and 2 mogami cables (I only got two cables left working correctly from about the 10 I have had). I wanted a Tetra, but there was none Since I could not resist buying something, I decided to look at all things. Microkorg was ruled out as I have an MS2000BR at home I rarely use. Then the microsampler was fun but sampling is not really my style. So all left was the Korg R3, Novation Ultranova, Alesis Ion and Alesis Miniak. I am going to transport it by plane, so the Ion was a little bit to big for me to fit in my luggage. Then I truly disliked the Miniak Interface. The R3's vocoder was superb while the Ultranova's disappointed. Then there is those ridiculous R3's mini pitch and modulation wheels and the displays are not all that clear to see. Ultranova is Blue and that fits with my non black keyboard rig, plus it has got a very nice interface and the display I found was very clear and easy to read. Then for other sounds I just could not appreciate them good enough and decide to go for the one i liked the most on demoes and that was the Ultranova. I mean, just check this one out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNov2RJu5nw Daniel Fisher from sweetwater

I have the Korg R3, isn't it fairly much the same thing as the MS2000 in a different package?
