Analogue Solutions has introduced Station X – a new “mini-modular” synthesiser.
Here’s what they have to say about the Station X synthesizer:
It contains all the essential ingredients to form complete synth patches. Think of it as a mini Red Square or Tereshkova (two other, larger modular synths we produce). In fact, a mini Red Square is a good analogy. If has the same filter and similar key features (though Red Square is 2 VCO). Station X is ideal for beginners who want to dip their toes into the world of modular synths, the travelling producer who wants to take a true analogue modular synth around to different sessions, or home musician who perhaps is limited for space.
Here’s a short video of the Station X synth in action:

Station X Synthesizer Features:
- Pure analogue voice circuitry
- Fully patchable
- Compact modular synth
- Available as a module (without case)
- Plenty of modulation possibilities
- Rugged steel construction.
- MIDI In for software sequencer / keyboard control.
Station X is available cased or as a module, starting at £299. The handle is optional.
i need to switch to something hardware like this synth,because the softsynth i use in ABLETON LIVE 8 are poor quality. i need a professional sounding synth.
See, if I get one of these it will just confuse everything. X-station, Station X…… 🙂
Confusion ? You're not prepared for the XXI century, boy ! You are not elected, sorry, weak brain. xstation stationx whats the diference hahahahaha.
I calculated that one would save around £80-£100 on each of the units compared to the cumulative prices of buying the respective modules individually… worth considering if – like me – one is toying with the idea of building up a modular synth…
For a small modular, they certaily seem to have made the right compromises.
Yes – looks good at the price.
Not sure about the VCO1 label, though. Also, setting up the panel to match a standard patchflow would have been nice.
Anybody know if this is normalized internally?
And is that a S&H on the right side?
OK – The VCO1 label makes sense if you look at the Station Y.
And it is a S&H on the right side. Very cool!
Interestingly, unlike the red square, this has PWM. I love me some pulse width modulation.
