novation v station plug in

[Jimfish]

mmm...
just got it and im loving it..

very solid sound, a proper workhorse for anyone making techno, trance or drum & bass..

for us techno cunts its particlarly good for deep, solid basses

[daviec]

I was wondering when this would come out. Heard about it in Computer Music a while back. I'll need to keep my eye out for it. I could do with a new toy :)

[kROKar]

have to admit, i had it on my computer some time now. It was kinda regular plug in. But lately I discovered it works perfect with 'random' function.
You get so amazing effekts and sounds out of it. Just pressing random and voila... sounds you only imagine, sometime it even randoms u a sequence that realy hits in the techno tune.

When 'Waldorf Attack' is top at random making parcussion, this is definetively the king of random generating when it comes to effekts. This is basicaly all u need. Some generated loops with this two plugins and a bassdrum and u have a tune

[Jimfish]

nah, its more than a regular plug-in... its the sound of the thing that makes it stand out. It sounds massive and its piss easy to fit in a mix. Also its got that beautifull 'watery sound' great stuff

Another V synth that gets diced almost by every 1 is A1 (it Waldorf powered) and it's standard with SX.... I tell ya it's feckin wicked...

Have a proper look ... presets around resonable nothing exciting... :)

i just tweaked some knobs on it and i must say it`s one of the better synths i`ve heard.

how close is this to the hardware novation station`s?

[DJZeMig_L]

I would say absolutly close.. even the presets r the same... supossably u can exchang' em with the real thing.

[Jimfish]

yeah, im an A1 fan too..
Tell you wot else i love is the Model E

[miromiric.]

i heard roland made some softsynths too and i tried out demo of legendary mood modular.
obviously big hardware compaines recognized abilities of vst and now they re heading this way.

TC 1
Attack
Moog Modular UN****EN BELIEVABLE
Jungalizer...
vyrsynth terra :)


The usual absynth, fm7 , etc.. doesn't really get me goin'!!

if u havent heard it - go n search for it on the sound on sound website demo sounds page - blows me away each time

if anyone has got it - please could u tell me what online server u erm purchased it from :)

and yes - the v-station sounds pretty spot on my supernova2 - tho with a few less bells n whistles n functions

[DJZeMig_L]

V-Station is an emulation of the "new" K-Station not the supernova ... if anything it's similar to the "new" KS Rack...

[acidhead]

the k/vstation and supernova share very similar sound functions - the k/vstation has tri and sin wave - the supernova has the hardness function to turn the square and saw in to them , the main difference between the supernova and the vstation is the fm mode, formant/skew , vocoder , the multiple filter types and the mod matrix (if we are not on about the multitimeral functions)

the reason i said it cos i have the supernova2 here and was comparing em the other day , i dont have a kstation at hand to compare them - all i can say is that the vstation is very very impressive soundwise - in someways even better than the supernova

the ks4/5 on the other hand has a shitload of extra digital waveforms in the oscs like the virus/waldorf q etc so really can do sounds that the supernova/k/vstation couldnt even dream of so nerrr

:)

[DJZeMig_L]

hey m8 no stress I just did the smal correction 'cause there is IMHO a big sound difference between supernova and the K Station, .. more over the fact the it only has LPF makes a word of difference.... Still I luv the K station and think that in general terms it is much more apealing that the SN... I've had both and now also the KS Rack...

I do agree that they all follow the same "sound shape" but 2 me the K Station has the most presence... I guess it's all a matter of taste..
anyways here's my 2 cents....

PS- didn't ment 2 create any flames !

Z

[acidhead]

no flames mate - i was just being a smart arse :D

thought u might of guessed that when i put the 'so nerrr' at the end

wouldnt mind a ks synth - may trade the xt in for it - not 100% sure on the xt u c - kinda ok - but nothing amazing - u wanna swap ;)

Changing back to the original subject......

Ive just got a copy of this today and i can only say one thing about it..

AWESOME! :D
