Superb Semi-Weighted Keyboard In Three Sizes

Aftertouch, a joystick and the assignable X/Y touch pad controller provide you with extra dimensions of expression for your performances. What's more, the NOVATION X-STATION comes in three sizes: 25, 49 and 61 keys - your choice of ultimately portable or plenty of keys! All models may be run off batteries, power supply or USB.

Audio And MIDI Interfaces

NOVATION 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. The NOVATION X-STATION's dedicated headphone and monitoring connections with separate controls even allow you to work without a mixer. What's more, the NOVATION X-STATION's onboard DSP effects processor provides instant, zero-latency multi-effects for monitoring or recording applications. Each of the X-STATION's 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, the NOVATION X-STATION has a built in MIDI Interface on board, allowing you to integrate external MIDI Gear as well.

Hardware Synthesizer

A fully featured NOVATION-class hardware synthesizer also runs on the unique X-STATION hardware thanks to its powerful DSP processor! The X-STATION's 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 is sent straight through the USB cable onto the track in your sequencer via ASIO!

DSP Effects

NOVATION 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 X-STATION's 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 NOVATION X-STATION's unique design, synthesizer and effects for incoming audio can even be used at the same time!
