The Mininova and Ultranova built on the legacy of this titan, using improved digital technology to expand tonal options and take sound quality even further. So it is that Novation have made the classic sounds of the Supernova available on it's younger brethren to celebrate 21 years of pads, leads, sweeps and sub.

Orbital And Novation
“...we have always used Novation gear on the road: from the original BassStation to the DrumStation – still our back up in-case the TR-909 or 808 go down – to the SuperNova which was one of our main live synths for many years.” - Paul Hartnoll
Here's a little slice of classic Orbital, playing live with a synth filter that sounds pretty Supernova to us. Of course you will shortly be able to get your hands on a reissue of the BassStation for some sweet analogue tones too.
Alt-J
More recently we've heard Alt-J espousing the virtues of the Ultranova, filling in on that vital low end. Here they are playing live.
