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 49 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 49 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 49 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 49 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
