General

The Novation Bass Station II analogue synthsizer will buy you a wicked little synth bass! At the core of the Novation Bass Station II is a complete analogue-bass synth mic with osc1, osc2, sub & noise. 2 analogue filters, modulation & analogue effects. It has two filters, the original Bass Station 1 filter plus a new acid filter. A section with analogue effects is the icing on the cake.

More functions

The velocity-sensitive keyboard features aftertouch and has a good feel. You can store your own sounds in any of the 64 user slots, but if you aren't into designing sounds, then there are 64 factory sounds at your disposal. The synthesizer has a reasonably comprehensive step sequencer and arpeggiator to test your sounds or just play with. True synth aficionados will appreciate the dedicated rotary knobs and faders, and there are more options in terms of modulation with two envelopes and two LFOs.

A bit of history

If you've been interested in electronic music from the nineties, you'll surely remember the Novation Bass Station. It was a time when the resurrection of analogue synthesizers took centre stage. Synths were becoming small and specialised, unlike workstations and ROMplers from the same era that kept getting bigger. The original Bass Station helped put Novation on the map.

Novation Bass Station II Analogue Synthesizer
Wrote the following about Novation Bass Station II Analogue Synthesizer
Great synth, super affordable, decent range of preset sounds and instant access to the parameters you want to carve it into something special. using it for bass the pre-filter overdrive is fantastic for sound sculpting, riding the pre and post overdrives with the filter cutoff makes fitting a chunky bass sound in a mix very fast. Only had it a week so can't say much more but would greatly recommend even this early on. Plastic case but feels like it can take a knock or two

A stunning synth!



I've been looking for a beginners synth for a long time and had weighed up the various options. This one won the day!



The sound is amazing! Deep and fat - gritty or mellow. With the Filter and the Arpegiator you can produce some amazing bass lines! The lead synth sounds are good too but bass is what this thing does best!



It has 2 Oscillators and a third sub Oscillator (linked to Oscillator 1). Each Oscillator has 4 waveforms! (sine, triangle, saw and square (with an adjustable pulse width!)) And each Oscillator has exactly the same wide range of settings (no reduced set of settings for Oscillator 2)



On the face of it, it has a 4 channel mixer but you can actually hook up 6 sources, including an noise and an external input!



The filter(s) is beautiful and has a giant rotary control for smooth and subtle movements. There are actually 2 filters - Classic and Acid. However, only the Classic has additional settings. These include; low pass, band pass and high pass, as well as slope (12dB or 24dB). The filter(s) can also be fully modulated by the Modulation Envelope or LFO2. It also has the usual Resonance and and extra Overdrive for a bit more depth!



It has 2 LFOs and both have 4 waveforms (triangle, saw, square and sample & hold (random)). LFO1 is for the Oscillators' pitch and LFO2 can be routed to various places e.g. square wave pulse width, filter. These LFOs have a wide range and can move into the audible range. You can also change them from free running or synced to your Tempo.



It has 2 Envelopes; Amplitude and Filter Modulation. To save space these use the same ADSR sliders with a switch to choose which Envelope you are adjusting - a neat trick!



There is also a Distortion setting and a Oscillator Filter Modulation, which allow you to further push the grittiness of the sound.



Finally, the Arpegiator - this is a joy! There is that standard up, down, up down, played and random settings but these can be further enhanced with the Rhythm setting. There are 32 set rhythms that range from one beat per bar up to 8 and also have a variety of rests and ties as well. A great set of predefined rhythms to play instantly. But there is also a 32 step sequences with the ability to add rests and ties here too and it records the key velocity as your are playing - a huge amount of variety.



Talking of the keyboard, this is one of the best reasons to get this synth. It is a 2 octave 25 key, full sized velocity sensitive keyboard with aftertouch (which can be assigned to a variety of modulations). It is a great keyboard and much better than most! There is also a standard pitch and mod wheel which, again, can be assigned a wide variety of settings.



One of the cleverest parts is how you access the various settings. They are accessed by pressing the Function button then actually pressing a keyboard key (with the setting name printed above) - again a great space saver. The value of the setting is displayed on the 3 digit LED and you can play as you are adjusting to see the effect.



This 3 digit LED also displays your patch number - there are 64 great presets and you can save 64 more! Novation even have extra sets of presets that you can download online (for FREE!) No longer do you loose your great sound when you turn off - just save it for recall later.



If you are starting out in the world of synths or even are a seasoned player, this model provides a HUGE bang for your buck! It has all the features of a synth twice the price and a sound to match. If you are looking for a Moog (as I was) but can't afford it, this is the best place to start.



Well done novation for producing such a great synth and well done Bax for selling it at such a great price (I actually ordered one of their B-Stock items for slightly less and it is absolutely perfect!)

Toffe synth, veel mogelijk, van 'basic' analoge geluiden, tot meer soundscapes, effecten en noise. Het geluid is top, de bouw is van stevig plastic en de knoppen voelen ook stevig aan. Omdat een knop soms meerdere functies hebben (die je via switches kunt toewijzen) is de synth soms wat lastig te navigeren. Wel heb je veel mogelijkheden, tot 'parafonie', wat naast goede, diepe basgeluiden ook voor mooie (of juist minder mooie) leadpatches zorgt.

Quelle claque !

Tout d'abord je tiens à féliciter Bax Shop, premièrement pour un prix défiant toute concurrence (oui vous ne trouverez pas moins chère ailleurs) et surtout concernant la rapidité de la livraison.



Concernant le produit en lui-même, je suis agréablement surpris par la chaleur du son que ce synthé dégage, compact mais tellement puissante !

C'est devenu mon jouet numéro un !

La qualité est au rendez vous comme toujours chez Novation.



Je ne regrette absolument pas mon achat.

Deze klassieker blijft maar updates krijgen van Novation, dat is pure klasse, de laatste in samenwerking met Aphex Twin, tegenwoordig wil iedere synthmaker wel samenwerken met Richard.... de bass station versie 3 laat zeker nog wel even op zich wachten zo....

Wrote the following about Novation Bass Station II Analogue Synthesizer
Als voornamelijk elektrisch bassist is deze mono analoge synth de ideale synth voor bassisten. Je kan gemakkelijk de juiste sound vinden dankzij de preset patches. Veelzijdig, handig, simpel en toch ontelbaar veel opties om je eigen sound te creëren. Veruit de beste optie voor deze prijs. Dat merk je ook aan de populariteit van de synth bij basgitaristen.



Novation helpt je bovendien heel goed op weg met de vele filmpjes op YouTube.



De Bass Station is veel meer dan een bass synth, ik gebruik hem ook als lead synth, voor beats en vooral ook voor EDM. Maar voor bassisten is deze synth een onmisbaar, betaalbaar instrument.

Geweldig geluid, compact, 2 goede filters, best veel modulatie mogelijkheden (plus een arp. en een rare sequencer. Perfect instap model, dat gewoon heel goed klinkt. Heb een DSI Mopho Keys, Een Prophet 6 en een Moog Voyager en Sub 37, maar deze kleine dus ook. Uiteraard: klein en compact betekent ook dubbelfuncties bij de knoppen, gedoe om via toesten functies te benutten, klein keyboard enzo, maar hij heeft wel een heel eigen en goed geluid, en de Mopho heeft ook dubbelfuncties en menu dingetjes die ik liever niet heb, vandaar (o.a.) dat ik liever werk met Moog's en de Prophet. Maar goed die liggen net effe anders qua prijs.
Dus wie een goed geluid wil, in een compacte stevige (maar toch) plastic box, doen! Wie een grote synth wil, waarbij alles direct toegankelijk is, een groter keyboard en een stalen behuizing....doorsparen dan maar :) Enjoy the bass station 2...

Samen met de Bass Station II ben ik syntheses gaan leren. Daar is deze synth dan ook uitermate geschikt voor. Een lage instapprijs, maar wel met een bak van een geluid er onder. Met z’n 2 Oscillators en nog eens een suboscillator is hij nog veelzijdig ook.



De reden dat hij 4 sterren krijgt is omdat hij in samenwerking met de digitakt soms ineens van geluid verspringt. Deze is dan alleen terug te krijgen door van patch te switchen en weer terug. Maar dankzij de vele CC mogelijkheden is hij ideaal met midi te besturen.

Heel erg blij met deze synth.
Ik wilde een mono analoge synth naast mijn microkorg XL.

Ik heb tijden via Midi gebruik gemaakt van de software variant van de Minimoog. De stap naar een " echte" moog maken is dan redelijk duur. Na vele reviews en uitproberen in de winkel viel mijn oog op deze Bass Station. In eerste instantie over het hoofd gezien want hij had niet een vintage/moog uitstraling waar ik blijkbaar de voorkeur aan gaf.

Het geluid is echter geweldig. Ook de fysieke knoppen werken zeer intuitief. Ik kan uren een arp latchen en aan de knoppen draaien. Inmiddels ook gebruikt als bass en lead synth in nummertjes en beats.

Ik doe deze niet snel meer weg :)
