I remember when I first got this little piece of machinery; I wrote a very long review on amazon and shortly before I was able to submit the review, the power went. This time, I don't really have the time to write such a lengthy review, but this is a beauty of a synthesizer. It functions exceptionally well as a MIDI controller and as an audio interface with 2 XLR inputs that sound surprisingly good for the price. It may not be the best sounding synthesizer out there but, it can surely get the job done. The features packed into this little baby are ridiculous and I love every bit of it.

My only problem with this baby is the keybed. After some use, you may have to re-adjust the velocity map to suit you as the keys may seem too light(unless my fingers have gotten heavier). Some of the synth sounds are beautiful; the basses and effects work pretty well and you can churn out some pretty awesome sounds from this low-budget synth and controller. I use it with FL Studio and it works perfectly. I have zero problems with this machine and thank Novation for creating it. I think we need to see another, more updated and powerful version of the X-Station; maybe the X-Station 2 or the Y-Station(lol). Again, the bang for your buck is unmatched by any other MIDI controller on the market today.

If you're on a budget, and would like a decent synth, MIDI controller and an audio interface wrapped into one portable pieace of machinery, this is the tool for you! Don't hesitate to pick one up!
