[ddots-l] Re: accessible sysex? + my thoughts on the Novation X-Station

Sorry that I can't offer any advice to you, Stacy, but your questions deal with 
things I know nothing about, but I have heard of a vocoder.  What is that 
exactly?

Hi,
Apparently I can store my Novation X-Station sounds using a Sysex program.  
Before I go fishing for sysex programs, does anyone know of a good/accessible 
sysex program?
 
By the way, I think the Novation X-Station is a good virtual analog synthesizer 
with it's  realtime knobs, faders, effects a joystick effect controller and an 
effect touch pad + the X-Station can be used as a  midi controller and a 2 
channel audio controller allowing you to use the built in X-Station effects.  
It's not perfect but dam it's fun!
 
 
There are only 200 synth patch banks, meaning that when you create a new sound 
you have to write over an existing sound unless you have the original sound 
backed up on a sysex program.
 
The X-Station came out in 2005 but there isn't really anything else like it.  I 
know, because I've been looking.  If you find anything as versatile, with as 
many dedicated knobs and faders, amazing overall feel, let me know.
 
I bought the Microkorg Xl and took it back before the 30 days was up.  It's 
okay but only 3 assignable knobs and the effects are weak although the vocoder 
was fun.  So, I recorded a vocoder based track and took the Microkorg back.  I 
mean how many vocoder based tracks can ya record right?
 
So, please sen me the name of a good/accessible sysex program if you know of 
one.
 
Thanks,
Stacy
