Title: A magical arrangement with a $400 synth... Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 05, 2008, 10:33:12 PM I was researching the updated version of the old Novation X-Station which is the XioSynth and I came across this video of the 49 key version...woah!!
(all sounds except for the drums are from the XioSynth itself!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPhDlMZ_fsk Title: Re: A magical arrangement with a $400 synth... Post by: Wyatt on May 05, 2008, 10:54:16 PM Thom,

It's nice to hear one played by someone other than myself. Tell me: how are the MIDI control and audio interface features working out for you?
Title: Re: A magical arrangement with a $400 synth... Post by: elwoodblues1969 on May 14, 2008, 02:53:37 PM Hello Moe,
I had a couple of mechanical problems with the keys on mine,so I never got a chance to check out the midi functions,nor the interfacing. Also,at this point still,I have always been and continue to be,a hardware-based musician,so I have no experience whatsoever with pc-based keyboards. Once I get my X-Station,I will eventually dabble in the Novation's other functions,but I became interested in Novation products for the synth portion of their keyboards,so I am afraid I cannot be of any help to you. From what I understand of Novation products,they are very user-friendly,as thier functions are laid out quite nicely,so I'm sure it won't take very long for you to figure out your Xio. Good luck with yours, Thom |
