Controlling a VST Plug-In Instrument or a Reason Instrument
The X-Station control panel is arranged in the format of a typical ana-
logue subtractive synth design and Templates in the form of electronic
memories that contain the specific control information for each instru-
ment are preset in the X-Station.
Numerous software or hardware synthesizers may be played directly
from the X-Station without the need for fitting a physical template
overlay. For clarity, a few software synthesizers or real instrument
emulations will benefit by placing one of the supplied labels over the
front panel synthesizer area.
