MIDI Keyboards

The original Bass Station would now be old enough to drink. But the new Bass Station II (which, in a typical marketing twist, Novation would like to remind you can also do leads) is improved, expanded, and more connected. And with a street price of US$499, the competition for affordable synths has gotten just plain ridiculous – in a way that can only benefit the synth consumer.
Now, the Bass Station II has two filters, two oscillators and a sub-oscillator, patch save capability, and analog effects. It also looks playable, with a step-sequencer, arpeggiator, onboard modulation, and MIDI and USB.
And this does qualify as “analog”, with an analog signal path and analog filters, even with a switchable diode filter modeled on the 303 for what Novation describes as “acid” and “squelchy” sounds. Features:
– “All-new design”, says Novation, modeled on the original and with a “pure analog audio signal path”.
– Two filters: “Classic” (from the original), and 303-style “Acid”.
– 64 presets, 64 user patch locations.
– Analog distortion, filter modulation, filter overdrive/crunch.
– Modulation: 2 ADSR envelopes, 2 LFOs, pulse width modulation, switchable LFO waveforms: triangle, sawtooth, square and sample & hold.
– Programmable step sequencer, arpeggiator.
