Greetings,

Anyone have any feelings on the Novation K-Station? I like what I've heard, & I'm inclined to buy one soon. (I know the vst version is much cheaper, but I prefer the hardware version for numerous reasons.)

Any thoughts?
:p:

I own a Waldorf micro Q and have used the Virus, Nord Modular, and K-station and can tell you that the K-station is by far the sweeter sounding, warmer, and the least Techno of the above.... If you are looking for something for a more keyboard/pad warm analog sound, the K-station would be great for you. I do love my micro Q though, that machine can scream and wail !!

Howdy

I haven't checked it out. I'm quite keen on my microKorg. I'm also looking forward to the new Nord Modular.

I liked the Access Virus as well. Very flexible, great sounding, nice effects but slightly convoluted UI.

I don't know anything about what is required for "techno" music though. What sorts of sounds are important in that genre?

I have a K-Station and it's not true that it's only for a certain music style. It contains the normal waves like saw, square, sin, noise and has osc sync and fm. So it can do a lot more then techno only :)

I love the sound it produces. Very slick and warm. It has some functions to emulate analog really nicely. I have a juno 106 also and i must say that the K-Station's attempt at analog bass is very good :)

For it's price you get a very cool little synth which is portable as well (no battery's though).
I also use it to control softsynths. It has more then 20 knobs/faders and buttons which all send out midi data. The vocoder isn't the best i've used. For a great vocoding interface you should look at Vokator from NI (software) :)

Hope this informs you a bit on the K-Station :)
