A Total Music-Making Package!
Novation stands for innovative sound and music production tools. The X-STATION combines a Novation synthesizer, an audio interface with mic preamps, MIDI remote controller, MIDI interface and a multi-effects processor. And it's all in the X-STATION - complete with USB or battery power for extended total mobility!

Novation X-STATION at a Glance:
  • Powerful Novation virtual analog synthesizer
  • Quality keyboard with additional MIDI controllers
  • Control surface for soft synths, sequencers and more
  • Fully functional audio and MIDI interfaces with mic preamps
  • Built-in multi-effects processor
  • Single USB cable handles power, MIDI and audio

Powerful Novation virtual analog synthesizer
A fully featured Novation-class hardware synthesizer also runs on the unique X-STATION hardware thanks to its powerful DSP processor! The 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 can be sent straight through the USB cable onto the track in your sequencer via ASIO!

Quality keyboard with additional MIDI controllers
The X-STATION keyboard employs a premium-quality 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, X-STATION may be run off batteries, a power supply or USB.

Control surface for soft synths, sequencers and more
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? Here's your solution - no matter if you want to remote control your Access Virus or Propellerhead Reason. 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!

Fully functional audio and MIDI interfaces with mic preamps
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. Dedicated headphone and monitoring connections with separate controls even allow you to work without a mixer. What's more, the onboard DSP effects processor provides instant, zero-latency multi-effects for monitoring or recording applications. Each 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, X-STATION has a built in MIDI interface on board, allowing you to integrate external MIDI gear as well.

Built-in multi-effects processor
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 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 unique design, synthesizer and effects for incoming audio can even be used at the same time!

Single USB cable handles power, MIDI and audio
X-STATION only needs one cable for everything - the USB cable. 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 sunburn and the sand all over your gear!

Customer Reviews
 One versitile keyboard/controller  
by Rocky Guarriello from Rutherfordton, NC USA, September 28, 2006
Music Background:  Recording, live sound engineer, and former touring musician.


“I was using a Yamaha ES-6 as my second keyboard. After speaking with my Sweatwater rep Mac Hutton he suggested trying the X-Station 61 for two reasons. Keyboard feel, and versitility. THe first time I played it I instantly fell in love with the keyboard. It not only feels solid, but also has touch sensitivity. The second thing I did was plug a microphone into it, and try the effects, and the...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "There are several essential features of a synth that every electronic musician needs: thumping bass, killer lead synths, expressive arpeggiators, dreamy pads, and tons of control. The X-Station synths from Novation are quickly becoming the workhorse of live electronic musicians everywhere. If you spend most of your time on your laptop, and a very small amount of time sleeping, the X Station in any size is the synth for you."
Carson McClain

  "After having the chance to demo this keyboard, I had to have one! Novation controllers have some of the best feeling keybeds that I've ever used. That combined with an analog-modeling synth, audio interface, all of the extra control for my DAW and software instruments, and a multi-FX processor is an irresistible combination and did a lot to simplify my studio setup."
Art Hill
