However, if you are using the x station as an audio interface, the effects can 
be used on the input source.

  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.
