The Novation filter plug-in is perhaps the most sought-after effect of the five. Modelled on the filter section of the Supernova II, this powerful effect has an array of features and a unique sound that sets it apart from any other filter on the market. An audio triggered envelope alongside five different filter types, three different octave slopes and a ‘crunchy’ overdrive dial, allow this filter to deliver a wide variety of dynamic filter modulation effects. Of all the filter types, the dual peak filter is now quite rare, but capable of delivering that signature “WOW” sound – a key ingredient for modern dance remixes. 

The filter also features a ‘Q-Norm’ dial, a resonance normaliser that reduces the signal level in relation to the resonance level; ideal for mimicking classic filters like those found on Moog and Oberheim synthesizers, or the Roland TB303.

The Novation Delay plug-in is an enhanced version of the Supernova II delay and an essential for any producer’s arsenal. The delay can be used to bring an edge to guitars or to provide a slap-back delay for vocals. However, with the addition of a high- and low-pass in-line filter, it can also create dub-style effects or tape echo. The various stereo modes offer even more creative flexibility.

The Tremolo has never been seen before as a dedicated Novation effect. It is based on the panning section of the Supernova II. Depth and speed controls sit alongside a new ‘Phase’ control that help to produce fully variable auto-pan stereo spatial effects.
