I don't think so. I think it only has a single multi effects unit for
the built-in analog synthesizer.

 

The X-Station isn't really designed to supplement your Sonar rig with
more synth or effects power. The synth portion is primarily included so
that you can play it and hear some sort of sound when you're not
attached to a computer.

hi Bryan,

 

do you know if the built in effects on the X-Station can be used to
effect soft synths when the X-Station is set as a midi controller?

Kevin Reeves has one. He uses it as a MIDI controller and portable audio
interface, and not so much as a synthesizer.

 

As I understand it, the synthesizer part is just a single voice analog
synth.

Hi, Anyone have any experience using a Novation X-Station?  Apparently
it is both a keyboard synthesizer and midi controller in one.  I believe
that it has dedicated knobs for built in effects, menaing that the
effects would be ready to go with a touch of the knob and not reliant on
drop down menus or follwoing a screen layout.  Plus, it has 2 XLR mic
inputs and can be battery or USB powered.

 

 

I love tweaking sounds, effects and knobs in real time.  A friend
suggested I look into the Novation X-Station so what do you think?

 

Thanks, Stacy.
