Purchasing a macbook and trying to decide if I should keep my novation x-station.

I've used my novation x-station w/ an HP laptop and had problems with the audio out of the x-station (when using as a sound card for listening to audio off the net...actually, I'd get really horrible static whenever my wireless connection was on). Anybody have any troubles with their macbook/macbook pro 'puters and a novation x-station? Thanks.

Nope, no problems with wireless, the thing actually sounds pretty good. My Only gripes with the X-Station are that it doesn't use their Automap technology, and you cannot use the onboard synth and monitor the two mic pres at the same time.

Cool. Thanks.

Anybody else using the Novation x-station with a core 2 duo macbook?

x station is nice, but you might want to check out the novation xiosynth, it's an inspiring little piece, if you have another soundcard i might go for that instead.

I just got my X Station today, a found a few problems

1: you can't use it as a midi controller and use the built in synth! (the main reason i wanted it)

2: High latency problems make using a mic routed through live unusable (to much delay) but this problem seems intermittent , so it could be a driver isue?



It looked really good on paper!

I'll post again if i make any progress...
