Novation X-Station 25 MIDI Controller
Novation X Station 25
Superb Keyboard
This 25 key keyboard employs a premium-class 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. All models may be run off batteries, power supply or USB.
Audio and Midi Solution
The X-STATION 25 includes a fully featured audio interface with two phantom-powered, hi-quality converters, two Neutrik(TM) 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, the X-STATION 25 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 25 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 is sent straight through the USB cable onto the track in your sequencer via ASIO!
DSP Effects
The X-STATION 25 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!
Direct Remote
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(TM) or Propellerhead Reason(TM). The X-Station 25 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!
Tired of Wires?
The X-STATION 25 only needs one for everything - the USB cable. That`s it. 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 25 and enjoy the sun as inspiration. But don`t say we didn`t warn you about the sun-burn and the sand all over your gear!
