Novation Bass Station II

Novation's Bass Station II is an analogue mono-synth based on the classic original Bass Station, but re-worked for the 21st century. It has two filters, two oscillators plus a third sub-oscillator, patch save and a fully analogue effects section. Add a step sequencer, arpeggiator, full sized keys and a powerful modulation section and you have the m... moreakings of a synth that is built for bass, but capable of much more.FeaturesAnalogue SynthTwo Distinct Analog FiltersLoad and Save PatchesPattern-based Step Sequencer and ArpeggiatorDedicated Tweakable ControlsTwo Oscillators Plus an Additional Sub OscillatorAnalogue Effects SectionFlexible Modulation Featuring 2 Envelopes and 2 LFOsMIDI I/O and USB connectivityPlayers 'Synth-Action' Keyboard with AftertouchSpecificationsOscillators:Osc 1Osc 2Sub Osc (3)Noise generatorOsc 1 & 2 - Select between waveforms:SineTriangleSawtoothSquare/variable pulse widthOscillator 1 & 2 Features:Sync 1 & 2DetuneOctave rangePitch bendPitch modulation to Mod Envelope and LFO 1Pulse width modulation to Mod Envelope and LFO 2Sub Osc (3) which is tracked to Osc 1; Select independently between waveforms:SineSquareNarrow pulseSub Osc (3) Features:All modulation and tuning tracked to Osc 1Independent octave selectMixer Section:Osc 1 levelOsc 2 levelSub Osc levelNoise generator levelRing modulation depthExternal signal levelFilter Specifications:Two filter types:Acid type (diode ladder filter design)Classic type (derived from original Bass Station)Filter Features:CutoffResonanceOverdriveFilter frequency to Mod Envelope depthFilter frequency to LFO 2 depthSelect 'Classic' filter between:Low passBand passHigh pass12dB slope24dB slopeEnvelopes Specifications:Two ADSR Envelopes (Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release):Amp EnvelopeMod EnvelopeCombined control of both EnvelopesSelect triggering mode between:Single trigger (holds envelope state when new note is played)Multi trigger (re-triggers with every new note played)Autoglide (engages portamento)There is also a VCA limiterLFO Specifications:Two LFOs each selectable between:TriangleSawtoothSquareSample and holdBoth LFOs independently adjustable between rate and delay timeKey sync LFO 1 & 2LFO slew on LFO 1& 2 (low pass filter on the LFO waveform)Effects Specifications:Distortion sendOscillator filter mod amount (FM effect created by Oscillator 2 modulating filter freq)Step Sequencer/Arpeggiator Specifications:Arpeggiator:Up to 32 different patternsSelect between 1-4 octave rangeSwing functionLatch (hold the arpeggiator)Select direction:UpDownUp / Down 1Up / Down 2As playedRandomStep Sequencer:Up to four sequencesAssign one of 32 preset rhythms or create your owninsert rests or legato (slide)Sequencer re-trigger functionPortamento:Adjust glide timeSingle trigger or re-trigger modesIntegrate into step sequencer and arpeggiatorHardware & Controller Assignment:25-note synth-action keyboardAftertouch can be assigned to modulate:Filter frequencyLFO 1to Osc pitchOsc 2 speedPitch wheelModulation wheel

The Bass Station II Monophonic Analog Synthesizer is a modernized, 21st-century version of the classic original Bass Station. This versatile instrument is not only built for bass but also capable of producing sharp leads and crisp arpeggios. It features two filters, two oscillators, and a third sub-oscillator, all contributing to a rich, analog sou... morend. The Bass Station II is equipped with a built-in mixer, two envelope generators, and two low-frequency oscillators (LFOs). It also features a step sequencer and arpeggiator, making it a powerful tool for both performance and production. The full-sized, 25-key keyboard is velocity-sensitive with assignable aftertouch, offering a responsive and
