Novation SN Editor Intro
Novation SN Editor & Librarian is designed to control your Novation SN right from your DAW. With our Editor, you can work with your Novation Nova / Supernova Rack by the same way you use your virtual instrument plug-ins. Our Editor will recall your patch settings when you open your project and the data will be sent to your Nova / Supernova automatically once you open your project. Your synthesizer is always synchronized with your session! The only thing you need to worry, is that you power-up your synthesizer.
Faster workflow
Novation SN Editor brings hardware integration to modern Digital Audio Workstation environments. Novation SN Editor & Librarian plug-in works seamlessly with all Novation Nova Desktop / Novation Supernova Rack synthesizers.
It is now much faster to scroll thru sounds and make tweaks within your DAW. Automate parameters with real hardware control names. The best part is, our Editor saves all the data within the project and when you reopen the project, all of the used data gets sent to your hardware, automatically! No more waiting with loading or transferring hardware data. Save time – welcome Total Recall.
- Control Novation Nova / Supernova synthesizer directly from your DAW.
- Automate almost every parameter directly from your DAW.
- No need to remember CC’s for each knobs / per synthesizer. Goodbye sticky notes!
- Load, Edit and Store patches into hardware memory or in your HDD personal library.

Check Specifications tab for more info about the Editor capabilities.
Realistic Bi-directional Graphical User Interface
Our graphical user interface design has been made to make everything from sound design to patch editing as smooth as possible. When you move a slider, push a button or twist a knob in your hardware, software will respond at appropriate layer/part.
Use sections locks with Randomizer function to create complex sounds while keeping the best settings untouched.
Save time, as all the edits are stored within the project, so once the project is opened up again, Total Recall will send the data to hardware automatically.
Patch and Multi mode management
Novation SN Editor comes with ability to control all 6 / 8 parts from the single plug-in instance. This means, you can have a different patches on different layers and play them at the same time, or individually.
You can send patches from Patch Librarian to your selected Part:
- Click any PART and double click a patch on the librarian to send the patch to the selected part.
- Click different PART to send another patch for different part, simple as that!
Novation SN Editor and Automation
With FULL version of Novation SN Editor & Librarian, you can automate almost every parameter right from your DAW without having to remember all of the MIDI CC’s.This can be done easily by setting your DAW automation to Write or Latch mode and then turning the knob from the hardware or the plug-in.
Some of the SysEx parameters are not available due to a lot bandwidth taken from the MIDI cable.
Check DAW Config Guides tab below to learn more about DAW Automation.

macOS limitations

I am starting to try out, but wanted to thanks the company and specially Jani for his support. LOOKS Great
Moi, mulla ei kummankaan (Blox ja Nova) Lisenssit päivity oikein, vaikka ne on mun mielestä oikein libraryssä asennettuna Molemmat herjaa jotain lisenssistä. Intel mac ja monterey+ uusin logic
Awsome! Follow the online imtructions and be good to go. Don't use cheap midi devices tho or it wont work, audio interfaces with midi built in should be fine.
In my case, when i activate the apr the sound disappears. Arp on-Sound is off, any help is precious
Best editors out there. I already have for Roland, Nord lead, Blofeld and now novation. Free update and very nice. Also with each one they give you a bank of sounds.
Is quite handy but could be better for the price. It crashes sometimes, there is no arpegiator editor.
Can t get it to register , can u help
I had problem with licence file but now all working like dream. Issue was on my side, because I have multi user Mac and I just simply don't found app folder under my account. Sorted today and I'm happy I have this amazing piece of software in my lab. Thank you Jani for your hardworking and patience with people like me 🤪

I was able to get the plugin to control my hardware synth with automation, which was amazing, but the plugin crashes Ableton 11 after a few minutes of use, and Mystery Islands hasn’t responded to my emails for troubleshooting. So yeah I definitely do NOT recommend, do I even need to say that I would like a refund?

I would like more parameters to be animatable, like all the FX controls.

Very good GUI, probably the best for this synth. I would have given five stars if oscillators and lfo waveform selection buttons were actually working…

Great software! Mostly works well with hardware. A little clunky at times, but opens up SN to new levels. I would like to see banks A-D accessible at all times, instead of just 2 at a time. I’m hoping with updates there will be some resolution. Looking forward to it!
Thanks again. Great product!!!
