X-station vs Nova/Supernova
View this Thread in Original format

I played around with an X-station today at Guitar Center and I could get some really nice basses out of it within a couple of minutes. How does the X-station compare to Nova/Supernova or other Novation products (digital analog only)?

Thanks,
Armani

I'm not completley sure but I beleive that they all use the same sound engine. the Supernova has more multitimbral cababilities, and is better looking ;)

well...i'm a nova user:)...X-STATION is a k-station's engine unit + midi interface + audio interface +fx unit + more. X-station is a 8 voices monotimbral synthesiser. You can have 3 osc with waveforms: Square/Saw/Variable Pulse/Tri/Sine/Double Saw/Double Tri/Double Sine/9 complex cycle waveforms
Noise Sources: White/Crack/Metal 1/Metal 2


novation nova is a little desktop synthesiser 6 parts multitimbral synthesiser/16 voices with waveforms pulse, saw, double saw, audio input. It has vocoder as well. With nova you can have up to 18 oscilators, 12 ring modulators, 6 noise SIMULTANEOUSLY. You can use 42 simultaneously effects (chorus/flanger, delay, reverb, distort, pan, vocoder, etc).It's obviously nova is a dedicated techno/trance and not only synthesiser. The synthesiser responds really fast to midi messages, no pause between patch changes, every button/knob can respond to midi. I love NOVATION...i'd like to think x-station is as good as nova
