Novation Bass Station II Synthesizer

Analog duophonic synthesizer with 25-note synth-action keyboard with assignable aftertouch that brings the best elements of the original Bass Station but provides greater versatility and more functions. It features sound engine with two oscillators plus one sub-oscillator with selectable waveforms and flexible modulation (2 Envelopes, 2 LFOs), and two distinct analog filter types - Acid and Classic. Synthesizer provides 64 factory patches and 64 user slots with Patch Dump function that enables to archive and swap sounds, pattern-based step sequencer and arpeggiator, and analog synth layout that includes dedicated controls for all major parameters. In effects section the synthesizer offers fully analog distortion and filter-modulation effects, and a separate filter overdrive to add a crunchy sound quality. USB and MIDI ports for connecting and powering the device via host computer is provided, as well as mono output, headphone output, external input and sustain pedal input - all on 1/4" TRS jacks. Device can be also powered externally with 9 V Dc power supply (included), and features a switch between power off/DC powered/bus powered.

Pedal Inputs

Pedal Inputs: Yes

The pedal input allows you to connect an external pedal that expands the instrument's control capabilities and contributes to a richer musical expression, increasing flexibility and expressiveness when playing and creating music.

Envelope: ADSR

The ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) type envelope filter gives you precise control over the dynamics and shape of your sound. The ADSR components are detailed as follows: Attack: Specifies how quickly the sound reaches its maximum volume upon activation. Decay: Specifies the time it takes for the volume to drop from maximum to sustain. Sustain: Represents a stable volume level that is maintained as long as the sound is active. Release: Specifies how quickly the volume fades to zero after the sound has been released.

Oscillators: 3

This three-oscillator synthesizer offers a wide range of sonic possibilities and creative expression. With three oscillators, users can experiment with harmonic interactions, adjust the frequencies and amplitudes of individual oscillators, and create composite sounds that combine different textures and colors.

Headphone Output: Yes

The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.

MIDI Interface: Yes

It supports MIDI, allowing you to connect and communicate with other MIDI-compatible devices. This feature extends control and integration into the larger music environment, increasing flexibility and creativity in music creation.

Polyphony: 1

The polyphony of this instrument allows up to <%=tp_value % notes to be played simultaneously, providing rich and complex musical possibilities.

Number of Keys: 25

This instrument has 25 keys, equivalent to 2 octaves, providing a wide range of tones for a variety of musical applications.

LFO: 2

An LFO, or low frequency oscillator, brings electronic sound to life. It adds movement and interest to synthetic sounds and effects, playing an important role in both subtle synthesis and bold sound design. However, you won't hear the LFO itself because it acts as a modulator. This means that it does not directly affect the audio signal, but adjusts other parameters such as oscillator pitch and filter clipping.

Aftertouch: Yes

Aftertouch technology on the keys allows musicians to add a new level of expression to their playing. When a key reaches the bottom of its stroke, the pressure exerted on the key can continue to be sensed and used to control various aspects of the sound, such as vibrato, volume, or tone modulation.

Arpeggiator: Yes

The Arpeggiator transforms chords into sequences of individual notes played in various rhythmic and melodic patterns. Instead of playing the chords as a harmonic whole, the Arpeggiator breaks the chords into individual notes and plays them sequentially according to the selected algorithm.

Modulation: Yes

Modulation allows you to change different aspects of the sound in real time, opening up a wide range of creative possibilities. For example, it can affect the pitch of the sound, creating a vibrato effect, or it can change the amplitude of the signal, creating a tremolo effect. It can also adjust filtering to create smooth transitions between frequency bands and dynamic textures. Modulation can also be used to change the character of the sound depending on the time or intensity of playing, giving the sound a lively and moving character.

Pitch Bend: Yes

The Pitch Bend allows smooth pitch changes, adding expressiveness to musical expression. Often used to create effects such as glissando or vibrato, this feature allows the player to make subtle or dramatic changes to the sound in real time. Pitch bend allows musicians to create smooth transitions between notes, increasing the dynamics and expressiveness of their performances.

Die Novation Bass Station 2 ist gemessen am Klang und Funktionsumfang ihren Preis wert.

Po zvukové stránce je to velmi slušné. Plus je aftertouch. Trochu mi vadí ovládání. Filtr je úplně vpravo, při hře pravou rukou se musí levá ruka natahovat po filtru přes pravou. Jako pro leváky jako dobré. Dále mi vadí "sdružené" tahové potenciometry obálek. Raději bych uvítal otočné potencometry pro každou obálku vzlášť (rozměrově by to vyšlo). To samé platí i pro oscilator 1 a 2. Ale tady by byl problém s místem...

Toto bola veľmi dobrá kúpa. Za dobrú cenu máte kvalitný zvuk v malom, praktickom, ľahkom nástroji. Nástroj poskytuje veľmi vela možností a ovladačov, takže si vykrútite hocičo. Neviem, čo sem mám písať, potrebné info sa dá vyčítať z popisu a zvuk počúvnuť z videí na YT.. Ja som maximálne spokojný.

Plusy: spratný, ľahko prenosný perfektný kvalitný plný zvuk ovládanie technické prevedenie (klaviatúra, knoby, pitchband, vibrato) klaviatúra má dosť veľké klávesy, veľmi dobre hrateľný aftertouch cena ľahký

Mínusy: niekedy by som si želal, aby mal 3 oktávy

Product is well made, delivered to me very quickly. It does take time to make the sounds you like but it gets easier with practice and once you're familiar with it there's a whole new world waiting Definitely buy again from Muziker, in fact this is my 2nd major purchase from them.
