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!
