Novation Bass Station II 25-Key Analogue Synthesizer

Equally at home on stage and in the studio, Bass Station II is a classic analogue synthesiser that can sound as warm and mellow or aggressive and hard as you want it to. Modulate the filter to make it sing, crank the distortion to toughen up that bass, and push the resonance to self-oscillation to get those lead lines screaming.

Featuring two tuneable oscillators, plus a sub-oscillator for enhancing the all-important low end, as well as noise and ring modulation, Bass Station II more than delivers when it comes to generating raw tones. It’s also got two distinct analogue filter types the Classic multi-mode filter of the original Bass Station and the 24dB/octave Acid filter, with its darker, smoother sound plus plenty of modulation in the shape of two LFOs and a pair of ADSR envelopes.
