Favorite thing about the Command Station?
2002-01-31 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com
Hey all,
Now that most of us have had our Command Stations for awhile, and had time to learn them, what is everyone's favorite feature?
Personally, I think my favorite thing has got to be the sound quality over all. I've never had a synth that could accurately reproduce enough low end to shake the walls, yet still remain punchy and clean at the same time. Lots if times once you get a synth in the low end, it gets really floppy sounding (Roland), or distorts before you get it punchy enough (Yamaha). I've made some of my best basslines since I got the XL-7, and in a tenth of the time it used to take me getting it to sound right. Plus the sounds have a lot of space to them, I rarely find myself having to apply any drastic EQ or compresiosn to my XL-7 tracks in order to get them to sit well in mix.
The keypads are pretty rocking too, a nice change from playing a regular keyboard once you get use to them (and break them in a bit). Others?
