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
