Good luck with the NI card. I've heard bad things about them.

I strongly agree. Synth1 is fantastic.

Don't get the X-Station, get the Xio. They're both the same thing just one has more knobs.

I'm still 100% happy I got the Xio instead of the X-Station.

As far as sound, people say its the same as V-Station, I disagree. To me its like a V-Station on steroids. The filter is just a bit richer, the sound a bit thicker, and for the *price its an amazing deal.
Got mine brand new off amazon for $250.

what did you hear was bad about it works great so far but would like to test out whatever is supposedly bad so if it doesn't do something or whatever I can take it back

the NI audio interfaces are known to have terrible drivers. they may have been fixed by now, but they were ridiculously bad to begin with.

it's obvious that you are a hardcore impulse buyer, man. music gear takes a lot of research and pre-thought.
