Description

The analogue monosynth reborn
Nothing out there sounds this warm, fat and dirty. Bass Station II is our pure analogue monosynth. We based it on our classic Bass Station, then enhanced every area to make it even bigger, angrier and more versatile.
It has two tuneable oscillators, a sub-oscillator for enormous bass, plus noise and ring modulation. It also gives you two distinct analogue filter types: the classic multi-mode filter and a new acid filter, for a massive variation in sonic possibilities

...firmware update. I see nothing besides links to novation's peak page, and articles about the peak update and about the bass station 2 update. My own fault for trusting google to have it right every time, and for not double checking on novation's site. So, despite the frustration-filled post earlier, I'd rather have the taste...

Gear thread - Pics of your setups

...kill creativity when you change a lot of gear in a short time, Behringer D for Subsequent 37, Peak for Bass Station 2, MC707 for System 8, Microwave 2 and Shruthi for Pro 2 etc. So far, so good. I am enjoying a far more hands on approach where I can just jump on an...

Behringer Model 15

I love synthesizers but in the past years I've come across a few machines that simply did not deliver in sound quality. A good example is the Waldorf Rocket, which is immediately a lot of fun and sounds good until you actually try to mix it.

The Bass Station 2 is also a lot of fun. In fact it...

Should I buy a Bass Station II?

Advantages

Sturdy build. The case is plastic, but the knobs and sliders feel very solid. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWIfDz_vYwQ
It's quite flexible: two oscillators, four wave forms (including a variable-width pulse), seven filter types, two separate...

When I chose to buy a Microbrute, I was driven by the need of something small, and also analog. Unfortunately - or even fortunately - the Microbrute didn't live to the expectation, and I decided to invest a little bit more for a Bass Station II.

I'll try my best to keep it short, but this synth...

I use the Bass Station II primarily for D&B/jungle leads and basses. It's secondary use is for hip hop sub/mid-basses. It does an amazing job.

I have the BSII wired in permanently as an external instrument in Studio One and sometimes I'll just hit record and jam with some bass sounds for an...
