My Nova Trauma Still Haunts Me

I got burned, and it still kinda hurts

Now, let me teleport you back to 1998.


When I was just a wee 15 year old lad still living in Scotland.


At that time I’d been making music purely with a computer and Cubase.


When my brother handed me a magazine which had all these alien looking machines. Turns out they were “samplers”. Things I didn’t know existed until that moment. Cool looking boxes with blinking lights and alien terminology.


“What are these!?” 


It didn’t take long until I discovered synthesisers too.



Determined to get my own synth. I spent an entire year saving up my earnings from my job at Safeways supermarket. 


Throughout that long year of saving I would go into the music shop all the time. I’d be in there so often the staff would give me weird looks 😂


I’d go to gawk at the different synths. I had it whittled down to three options: the Novation Nova, the Jupiter JP8000 and the Nord Lead.


But after a long year of squirrelling away my money. I finally had saved enough. So this time I went to the store to buy my own synthesiser. 


I picked the Nova. 


And you know what happened?


I got burned.


It was the wrong choice. I didn’t gel with it. The sounds weren’t what I was after. 


That Nova still mocks me (ever so gently). It’s sitting in a box in a cupboard.


Now, it all worked out in the end. Because I fell in love with Push (not exactly a news flash by now for you!).  Also, sometimes you have to make a choice to know what's not for you - so thank you, Nova


But as I transitioned from being purely a buyer to running my own business where I too sell things, I never wanted my customers to feel the burn I felt when I realised I’d invested my hard earned savings into the wrong purchase.
