X-Station Plus Computer = Complete Music Creation Studio!
When you're getting into electronic music making for the first time, all of the things you need to get started can be not only confusing and expensive but they can take up a lot of space. Along with your computer, you'll need a high quality sound source, an audio interface, a MIDI interface, some phantom powered mic pres, and a controller that can not only perform music, but can control your soft synths, plug-ins, and sequencing software, and don't forget the effects processors. Now, imagine having all of that and more in an easily affordable, portable package, with NOVATION synthesis and audio quality. NOW YOU CAN! NOVATION stands for innovative sound and music production tools, and their new X-STATION combines a Novation-class Synthesizer, an audio solution, MIDI remote controller, MIDI interface and a multi-effects processor all in one - complete with USB* or battery power for extended total mobility!


NOVATION X-STATION At A Glance:
  • Semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch, joystick, XY controller pad.
  • Phantom powered audio interface, MIDI interface, with onboard DSP.
  • NOVATION-class hardware synthesizer.
  • Onboard DSP effects.
  • Direct remote control for sequencer, soft/hardware synths.
  • Self-powered USB or battery powered.

Superb Semi-Weighted Keyboard In Three Sizes
The NOVATION X-STATION keyboard employs a premium-class mechanism with semi-weighted keys and aftertouch. Even if you're not a trained piano player you will instantly feel the difference! Aftertouch, a joystick and the assignable X/Y touch pad controller provide you with extra dimensions of expression for your performances. What's more, the NOVATION X-STATION comes in three sizes: 25, 49 and 61 keys - your choice of ultimately portable or plenty of keys! All models may be run off batteries, power supply or USB.

Audio And MIDI Interfaces
NOVATION X-STATION includes a fully featured audio interface with two phantom-powered, hi-quality converters, two Neutrik™ combined XLR and jack sockets, digital S/PDIF out, and much more. The NOVATION X-STATION's dedicated headphone and monitoring connections with separate controls even allow you to work without a mixer. What's more, the NOVATION X-STATION's onboard DSP effects processor provides instant, zero-latency multi-effects for monitoring or recording applications. Each of the X-STATION's audio channel has its own effects chain. You can even record audio with effects on one channel - and use the synthesizer on the second at the same time!

On top of that, the NOVATION X-STATION has a built in MIDI Interface on board, allowing you to integrate external MIDI Gear as well.

Hardware Synthesizer
A fully featured NOVATION-class hardware synthesizer also runs on the unique X-STATION hardware thanks to its powerful DSP processor! The X-STATION's 3-oscillator virtual analog synthesizer is based on the renowned Novation KS-series and is 8-voice polyphonic. The extensive control interface provides instant access to all key parameters, making it ideal for live performances.

And forget cables - the synthesizer is fully integrated: The stereo audio output is sent straight through the USB cable onto the track in your sequencer via ASIO!

DSP Effects
NOVATION X-STATION provides two channels of onboard multi-effects! Up to six effects may be used simultaneously on each channel. The palette includes Chorus, Delay, Reverb Distortion, EQ and even a Compressor. The X-STATION's effects can be routed for monitoring only (like giving the singer some Reverb while recording) or for recording as well (e.g. recording a guitar with Chorus).
Thanks to the NOVATION X-STATION's unique design, synthesizer and effects for incoming audio can even be used at the same time!

Direct Remote Control
Want a first class remote control for sequencer functions? Need a hardware surface for your VST-Instruments? Would you like to remote control other hardware from one surface? NOVATION X-STATION is your solution - no matter if you want to remote control your Access Virus™ or Propellarheads Reason™.

NOVATION X-STATION offers a total of 55 assignable physical controls, including 3 Encoders, 16 pots, 9 sliders and 22 buttons. And that doesn't include the dedicated controls in the Audio section. A template can have up to a massive 150 virtual controls in total using the shift functions!

Tired Of Wires?
the NOVATION X-STATION only needs one for everything - the USB cable. That's it. Even power is provided via USB* or batteries whenever desired! So if you really want to make your recordings on the beach - take your laptop, X-STATION and enjoy the sun as inspiration. But don't say we didn't warn you about the sun-burn and the sand all over your gear!

 Synth and Midi Controller in One  
by William Bagley from Ashland, OR, October 09, 2006
Music Background:  Hobbyist and Student, Uses Basic Tones for Sound Healing work


“I have both the 25 key and 49 key versions of this unit. I use it to run my Reason software and as a stand alone synth. They took the KS synth and subtracted some of the lesser used features, like the vocoder, but kept the core engines which are great. The controls are more intuitive in terms of creating sounds and tweaking them compared to what I had previously (Micro Korg, Alesis ION, and...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "An all-in-one midi-controller with keys, faders and knobs, a synth, and an audio interface! JOY! The best part about it, the thing is small. It only takes up as much space as my laptop. A 30- to 40-minute setup has been cut down to 10 minutes, and it takes up a fraction of the DJ real estate I have to work with. No joke. This is great for computer musicians who gig on a regular basis, or DJ converts."
