Novation Bass Station II 25-Key Analog Synthesizer

Description

It comes with 64 killer factory presets, space for 64 of your own sounds on the hardware, and you can store more on your computer. Bass Station II is a fully class compliant MIDI device with MIDI I/O on 5-pin din ports -- for connecting to other MIDI outboard -- and with your computer over USB. Bass Station II is an analogue mono-synth with a talent for bass, but a sound-engine that is versatile enough to kick out sharp leads and crisp arpeggios. It has two filters, two oscillators plus a third sub-oscillator, patch save and a fully analogue effects section. The key-mech consists of 25 full-sized keys that are velocity-sensitive with assignable aftertouch. It takes the elements of the original Bass Station and adds re-worked modulation, effects, filters and more; like the Bass Station, but a much much bigger sound. It has been developed as a "synth-action" keyboard, where each key is individually sprung so it is light to the touch and highly responsive to the synth engine. The hardware has been laid out in modules with dedicated pots, switches, sliders and buttons for all major parameters. Add a step sequencer, arpeggiator, full sized keys and a powerful modulation section and you have the makings of a synth that is built for bass, but capable of much more. The signal path is pure analogue -- including the effects section. You can even connect an external instrument and run it through Bass Station II's analogue filter and effects.
