NOVATION K Station

Just about the most versatile, programmable synth I ever owned. Even with a busted display I can pretty much come up with any synth sound I want just via some tweaks to the front panel knobs and sliders. Everything a modern synth should be really, even though its pushing twenty years old!
I don't even save patches anymore this baby is so simple to dial up sounds on.Connect this to the V-Station vst synth and it doubles as an excellent controller , seamlessly integrating into any daw based environment, you can even via the vst edit patches and save them on your synth. This thing is a brilliant, perfectly realized synthesis (heh,heh) of oldschool synth design and digital tech.EVERYTHING on this unit transmits/receives  midi- and its bristling with controls !
Honestly, if you need just one hardware synth to provide an exhaustive range of usable sounds, they don't come more versatile than this, pads,basses,lead synth sounds, drums, strings, its all in there!
Whats really cool is how easy the fx are to get to while tweaking/playing the synth and they really add to the scope of its abilities, Ive own quite a few synths over the years but this is the ONE I would hold onto even if I switched pretty much completely to an in-the-box style setup.You really can't go wrong with this thing-unless you need more keys-but at least they aren't mini keys!
