Novation Bass Station II Analogue Mono-Synth

"I was never sold on hardware analog synths but I just got a Bass Station II and i'm having a blast. Good stuff."

Orbital's Paul Hartnoll talks about his experience with the Bass Station II synth: "…having spent years using Novation stuff, I know the quality of it. But with all these modular synths that I’ve got, big polysynths and things like that, I tend to think, really what’s another little mono synth gonna do for me? I have to say I was incredibly surprised when I started playing with it, and it has sat here and it’s helped me finish my album. I used it the 1st time and thought ‘Oh, thats good.’ I got a baseline out of it which was just what I needed at the time, instead of turning to the System 100 M (which is what I’ve been going to recently). It really did nail the job. And I’ve been going to it ever since for bass and lead, actually. It’s been pretty amazing! It’s got a really nice *bouncy* sort of sound - rubbery kind of sound. Some synths you find you have to really push them into a mix. But this, just kind of sits in there. The overdrive before the filter is amazing. I’ve been finding that just gives you that extra punch. It’s been really good for basslines, bass sounds. It’s instantly got that bit of velocity to it as well if you want it. For me the first thing I noticed about it - apart from helping me troubleshoot the last few tracks of my album - I found this has been doing nearly all the basslines in that job. Not ALL the baselines in the album, but all the ones that are broken that need fixing. I haven't had to go out to the modulars yet, which is saying a lot!"

At 1:45 in this live performance video, Bonobo can be seen using a Novation Bass Station II.

"Our latest synth addition to the studio. The Novation doesn’t look like much and is rather cheap, but after using it for a few months now we’re both really impressed with the versatility of this machine. Especially the arpeggiator is fantastic and gets used a lot – not just for the Bass Station itself, but for all of our synths and samplers." - [Session Victim](http://www.attackmagazine.com/features/my-studio/session-victim-studio/#).

Just got sent this through from @wearenovation. Time to have some fun for a bit!

Through his love for analogue synthesizers and after seeing various reviews, Tom’s attention soon turned to the Novation Bass Station II. The feature that immediately stuck out for him was the power over USB - “there’s something so great about just having one cable. You can plug in, and it works great as a synth and a controller as well, so it’s a great all-in-one controller mono-synth.” “Also I thought the filters sound really great. There are some weird, very musical resonances coming out which I haven’t really heard in other filters before. And also the fact that it felt very flexible, in that it can be quite sweet sounding or very aggressive very quickly. That’s something I haven’t really seen in a lot of synths. I can get really nasty and aggressive if I want to, all within the synth, and not having to drive it through other stuff, so that’s pretty cool."

Timo Maas uses Novation Bass Station II Analogue Mono-Synth and says, that it is a "lovely natural analogue monosynth, creating big, angry and phat-sounding basslines". He says also, that it was used on many tracks and remixes.

Cian uses the Novation Bass Station II live, and here is evidence that he's made a signature sound pack for Novation. I can confirm that I've seen Cian using the new basstation live - at the Lunar Festival, Tanworth, in 2016.

Vidéo réalisée en Décembre 2015 // December 2015 – 0:44 - 1:05 "En concert j'utilise Ableton Live qui est piloté par le SL-Mk II (NOVATION) et le Launchpad Pro (NOVATION) qui est un hub qui va me permettre de piloter plusieurs synthés dont un Bass Station (NOVATION), un Tetra (DAVE SMITH INSTRUMENTS), un VERMONA [Mono Lancet]" => "In concert, I use Ableton Live which is controlled by the SL Mk II (NOVATION) and the Launchpad Pro (NOVATION). The Launchpad allows me to control several synths : the Bass Station (NOVATION), the Tetra (DAVE SMITH INSTRUMENTS), the VERMONA [Mono Lancet]"

Yay!! Thanks @wearenovation for the Launchpad + Bass station 2 - can't wait to try out these bad boys!

Finally home after 2 months of extreme fun playing across Europe. Tons of boxes of various things to open at the studio, but this little monster I'm really excited about playing with, The Novation Bass Station 2. The sequencer looks really cool, SH101style. Maybe we'll throw up a video or 2 once we check it out.

cln confirm the synth on the comments

We have a Novation Bass-Station 2 and Xiosynth that generate some sounds, I use an Arturia Microbrute which is great for touring because it is tiny and it’s got some nice, fat, gritty sounds that I push through delay and effects.
