- In 2004, someone thought it would be cool to combine a MIDI controller, synthesizer, and an audio interface. The synth engine is derived from Novation's Supernova and it reminds me a bit of a Korg MS2000 with it's early/mid-2000's VA sound. There aren't many keyboard/interface combinations like this out there so check this out if that's your thing.
Check out my synth duo at:

This took forever to figure out, but 99% sure here are the factory patches he is playing, with the times:
0:00 104 Get Me To Heaven
0:32 112 Chrystal Harp
0:51 152 Impress Me
1:31 173 Glider
1:49 175 Rise Up
2:18 180 Flat Puppet
2:33 195 Club it
2:50 214 Mr Gurner
3:27 224 PP3
3:45 226 Flush
4:05 231 Ky Lee Sweep
4:18 244 Radio Head
4:45 246 Suspender
5:09 (end)
YOU ARE WAY TOO NICE BRO WTF
WE DONT DESERVE YOU
Seriously, what the fuck haha. Well done, mate.
Great demo! Really liked the sound. The second patch reminded me of Resident Evil save room music. :)
great sounds !
hi cool vid. I got an x-station 25 yesterday and was wondering how to control it externally with a different keyboard for a wider playing range like you did.
yea me too
You can go midi-out on the larger keyboard > midi in on the X-Station. Just be sure to set "MIDI IN" in the KX Global Menu for "Synth Midi Src" (press "Global" twice), I believe.
(And if you connect with USB, you can do much the same thing, as the USB connection acts as a virtual 2-way 2-cord midi cable. I route the signals through Cubase (you could probably use Midi-Ox or similar), and use all USB connection to play the X-station with an 88-key yamaha.)
@@johnpinion8033 cool then it should work with my son's new yamaha p-125
Good work! There is something i wonder. Is it possible to play two different sounds at the same time, x station and midi keyboard, as you connected?
Just got one... all parameters in Synth mode show “no control”. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I might dive into the global menu and check that local is set to "ON" Not sitting in front of my synths so I can't double-check this but it's worth a shot. Usually "No control" I only ever see when a knob/button is used just for midi templates (example: Filter page 2 doesn't have any function in synth mode. It just exists to double the number of controls you can have on a midi template)
Please help me
I want to buy A Synthesizer,
After hours of listening to my budget Synthesizer,
It's the Synthesizer that sounds best to me,
The problem is that it is really cheap compared to others and it's a little scare me,
And I also read online comments about him,
And did not see that they excited from him as I was excited,
Most of the responses said he was just nice
So please if you can answer me a few questions,
1 . In this video, do I hear the Novation X-Station ORIGINAL preset?
2. Is the device in the video connected to reverb or delay? Or it's pure sound
3. Is it good for synthesis?
4. Why is it so cheap- $ 242.99, has it got any problems, or drawback that I have not seen?
Sorry for my weak English
They are cheap because they are old and not very collectible. I don't really see a reason to buy this over something like a brand new Roland Gaia (which will be new, reliable, and come with a warranty if you buy it from an authorized Roland dealer)
thank you very much for the quick answer,
Have a good day
@@henshahar1 If you like the sounds in this video and want newer get a Novation MiniNova.
Wow amazing demo and sound !
I have the same synth.
Can you tell me the names of second and the last sounds ?
Greetings,
Elias.
The second one is 117: Chrystal Harp, and the last is 246: Suspender.
I love my 61key.
Never sell
Novation X-Station wasn’t played or played on in this video.
Somebody doesn’t know what MIDI is...lol
He is playing the lager keyboard to control the X-Station via MIDI :-))
Somebody doesn’t know what he is taking about and yet decided to write a comment… why?! 🤷🏻♂️… multiple comments in fact on synth videos and yet has no idea what MIDI is 🤦🏼♂️
So you didn't even touch Novation X-Station keys...
Montażownia nr1 I controlled it externally with a different keyboard for a wider playing range than 25 keys.
Fear not. The X-station keys are quite nice. Some of my favorite synth keys from that era were on Novation Synths. The keybed is probably the most well-built part of the hardware! Plus, aftertouch :)
@@tritonrecordings how????
@@highimdevin7108 Two ways: go Din MIDI OUT on the controller keyboard to MIDI IN on the X-Station, or have the controller keyboard routed to a computer, then to the X-Station via midi over USB.
