V-Station

Ive been using KVR for a couple of years now and this is my very first review. So what does that tell you?

If your thinking about buying it then your already making a mistake. It's absolutely amazing, so get it now! and send me some bloody presets (cause theres just not enough!)

Yeah, it sounds great and looks great, but its only downfalls are that it doesnt come with enough presets, although a plus is that it can load presets from the a station or k station, but again another fault is that it cant load their banks directly, just one patch at a time, unless your using sysex.

Novation have just made it a straight port of their k station, however they could have easily made it a port of their ks4 synth (even could have included a keyboard) since pretty much all of the technology from the ks4 is already there (excluding the multi timbrality - which you get past by simply loading another v station, and the fact that the v station only has 8 voices, whereas the ks4/5 synths have 16) but there are ways around these limits if you know what your doing.

Basically what we have here is one of novations finest synths in software form.

If your looking for 'real' synth sounds, then youve got it here. you can actually hear the quality.

I wouldnt be surprised if you could build a complete dance track from using v-station alone, since its great for basses and leads.

The only thing i say to you is, if you have the money buy it, because synths of this quality are rare and if we want to see more of them then people have to pay. so don't download it, buy it and maybe we will soon see a virtual nova!

heres hoping ;)

X Station Factory Bank (from Banks and Patches tab above) is amazing.

If you love signature V-Station sound, grab it immediately. It's full of amazing squelchy and soft digital goodness.

Tried to install the v-station today - seems it is no longer available via the novation homepage (link in KVR descriptions did not work for me and also nothing to be found on the novation page itself).

So I got an installer from plugins4free (https://plugins4free.com/plugin/3883/). Used the "activate" button of the plugin after installation, safed the request file (html with a link to www.focusrite-estore.com) - also this side is not available.

Does anybody know if this plugin is dead at all or what happened there? BTW: had the same problem with the B-Station vst.

Thanks,

Andreas.

Unfortunately Novation have now completely removed the V-Station and B-Station plugins from their website.
It is no longer possible to activate these plugins. I have installed them on a new laptop, but I am unable to activate them. Too bad, I did enjoy these.
