Bass Station II Key Features
Mono analog synth redefined
Bass Station II is a mono analog synth specializing in bass sounds, but it's versatile enough to generate generous leads and crackling arpeggios. It takes the best of the original Bass Station in an all-new design with reworked modulations, effects and filters. The design is pure analog (including the effects section). However, patches can be stored and recalled on Bass Station II. It comes with 64 high-quality factory presets, including 64 user patches, but you can store more on your computer.
Oscillators
Bass Station II relies on 3 analog oscillators and a noise generator. There are 2 fully independent oscillators, plus a "sub-oscillator" (which is the essential element in the creation of rich analog basses and sounds). Oscillators 1 and 2 are switchable to "sine", "sawtooth", "square", variable pulse width (PWM) and on oscillator 3 the "sub-oscillator" can be set 1 or 2 octaves below oscillator 1. It can be "sawtooth", "square", narrow pulse width (PWM), producing the characteristic fat bass sound.
Filters
You can choose between 2 discrete filters, "Acid" or "Classic", each with its own overdrive, allowing you to go from clear to warm, to downright nasty! The "Classic" filter can be switched between low-pass, high-pass and band-pass (12 or 24 dB slopes). The "Classic" filter is based on a diode ladder filter design that delivers a characteristic "303" sound that crushes everything in its path...
Effects
This product features 2 effects (excluding overdrive). An analog distortion that saturates the circuit, adding new frequencies to the sound. This distortion can add warmth, granularity and everything in between. The second effect is "Osc Filter Mod", which creates an FM-like sound using oscillator 2 by modulating the filter frequency. The result is very crunchy, bringing density to basses and leads.
Modulation
There are 2 envelope generators and 2 low-frequency oscillators (LFOs). The first envelope is an ADSR amplification envelope and the second is a modulation envelope that can be used to modulate the filter frequency, pitch and pulse width of the 'OSC' oscillator. LFO 1 is dedicated to modulation pitch, while LFO 2 is used to modulate pulse width and filter frequency. Although there are 4 LFO waveforms, the 'LFO slew' function can be used freely to sculpt the LFOs into smoother waveforms.
Arpeggiator/step sequencer
These are extremely powerful production tools. The Arpeggiator can cycle through 32 different rhythmic patterns, in different directions with a wide range of switchable octaves. It really starts to get fun when the Step Sequencer is activated. Up to 4 sequences can be played with legato and sighs and assigned to one of the 32 rhythmic patterns.
Expert opinion
- The Novation Bass Station II embodies the classic heritage of the analog synthesizer while incorporating modern features that make it particularly suitable for contemporary producers and live musicians. With its two harmonically rich analog oscillators and legendary low-pass filter, the Bass Station II offers a diverse sonic palette, from deep, powerful bass to punchy leads and atmospheric sound effects.
- Combining the organic warmth of analog with the flexibility and precision of modern features, the Novation Bass Station II is a solid choice for musicians and producers looking for a versatile synthesizer capable of producing a wide range of sounds, from vintage basses to contemporary textures.
