I get more attached to the UltraNova the more I use it. Going back to hardware has been interesting, though, sometimes in not so good ways. For example, working with soft synths you don't have to deal with things like clock sync. I have no idea why, but the UN seems to not want to sync exactly with the tempo shown in Cubase (off by 1 or 2 bpm most of the time... rarely noticeable in practice but still, sending a clock value across a wire seems like a simple enough task to do reliably). Also, if browsing patches on the synth itself, it's fast enough, but using patch up/down inside the VST editor introduces a delay as it communicates back and forth with the hardware. No where near the problems I had with Virus Control, but I assume this type of issue is considered "normal" when interfacing hardware with the DAW these days?
