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.
