Oh, that's very handy, especially if it has a peek limiter or a good
compressor.

However, if you are using the x station as an audio interface, the
effects can be used on the input source.

        I don't think so. I think it only has a single multi effects
unit for the built-in analog synthesizer.

         

        The X-Station isn't really designed to supplement your Sonar rig
with more synth or effects power. The synth portion is primarily
included so that you can play it and hear some sort of sound when you're
not attached to a computer.

        hi Bryan,

         

        do you know if the built in effects on the X-Station can be used
to effect soft synths when the X-Station is set as a midi controller?

        Kevin Reeves has one. He uses it as a MIDI controller and
portable audio interface, and not so much as a synthesizer.

         

        As I understand it, the synthesizer part is just a single voice
analog synth.

        Hi, Anyone have any experience using a Novation X-Station?
Apparently it is both a keyboard synthesizer and midi controller in one.
I believe that it has dedicated knobs for built in effects, menaing that
the effects would be ready to go with a touch of the knob and not
reliant on drop down menus or follwoing a screen layout.  Plus, it has 2
XLR mic inputs and can be battery or USB powered.

         

         

        I love tweaking sounds, effects and knobs in real time.  A
friend suggested I look into the Novation X-Station so what do you
think?

         

        Thanks, Stacy.
