This is a plug-in synthesizer that models analog sounds with great versatility.
The new V-Station is easy to use yet powerful in operation, with all the primary sound-shaping controls right there on the main screen. It's clear, concise, and refreshingly simple. Recall a named factory preset, tweak it to get "your sound," and instantly save it in any of the 400 program locations. And if you need more, just click and you'll find additional functions and controls on the other three screens.
For ultimate flexibility, why not partner a V-Station with one of Novation's award-winning hardware synths? As sounds created in the V-Station can be downloaded into the K-Station and vice versa, harmonizing your gigging/studio set-ups and building mega-sound libraries is a snap.
The V-Station features three powerful oscillators that provide all the classic waveforms, including a sine wave for those sub-bass floor-shaking grooves. All waveforms feature a "Double" facility which provides twin waveforms with no loss of polyphony. Oscillators may be set to Unison or Synced operation and can utilize FM for the generation of metallic or percussive timbres. A noise source is also included in the waveform engine.
Novation warm liquid filters deliver the rich liquid sound of an analogue filter. Selectable low-pass, 12dB or 24dB cut-off curves with resonance and overdrive make it easy to recreate anything from a distorted TB303 to tight, rounded bass patch.
The V-Station delivers eight voices for each instance that is used. Call up an instance of the V-Station, and there are immediately a further eight voices available with a new sound if desired. This ability to use multiple 'instances' allows the V-Station to run as many multi-timbral parts as the power of the host computer will allow.
Novation set the industry standard with the famed Supernova synthesizer for providing a complete set of powerful effects on each part on the multi-timbral synthesizer. The V-Station adopts this sound structure which makes for six simultaneous effects per instance. The effects include a distortion unit that adds edge for harder sounds, a synchronized stereo chorus or phaser for spatial effects, and a reverb that adds an extra dimension of realism. A synchronized panner and the delay engine complete the comprehensive line-up.
An arpeggiator with programmable speed, synchronization, and sweep range is available within each instance. Comprehensive synchronization of time-based effects can be easily implemented. All parameters respond to MIDI controllers, which can be recorded in real-time on a track on the selected sequencer- set up a few instances, hit a single key and trigger a wall of sound. All running arpeggiators and LFOs can be individually synchronized to MIDI clock in different time signatures.
