Here’s a great hands-on look at the new Novation Bass Station 2 synthesizer, via Nick at sonicstate.
The video features Novation’s Nick Boorman, who is “deep into the development of the instrument, and knows it intimately.”
The Novation Bass Station 2 was one of the hits of Musikmesse. It’s expected to be available in June, with a street price of about $500.
These guys are cool…
Wish more synth demos were like this! Pair somebody who knows it inside and out with somebody who wants to know it inside and out.
This is a killer synth for $500.
Good times to be a synth fan!
love it now.
Can we do another best of musikmesse poll again :)?
Yep – but you’ll have to wait a year!
This synth is shaping up very well indeed.
Doepfer do a nice midi to cv/gate converter if that’s your thang!
Probably the best new synth around.
A (keyless) desktop for £250 and I might just be in …
This demo goes: Nick, Nick, BOOOOMMMM!!
Novation bass station 2 or moog sub phatty?
yes.
I love nick’s honesty. Novation always show and prove
this synth is just awesome its on the list with the MS-20 mini and Analog 4
such a monster synth with so many useful features 🙂 mono synth or not its a winner!!!
I really love the features of this synth, but does anyone else think the bass sounds in this demo are kind of thin? I’m hoping it’s the recording, but to me the sub oscillator and the low bass sounds seemed lacking.
Can’t wait to hear more demos from this thing. Very smartly designed.
Any news on the dimension of this instrument? I’ll be buying one anyway, just curious whether it would fit on the little space at the front of my studio desk
I see original Bass Stations on ebay for $250-400 with no bids. Why bother? I had one. They were junk, especially compared to what I’m seeing here. I’d take this over the MS-20 mini. (I had an original MS-20 also – not a big fan of it.) I wish Korg would re-issue the MonoPoly. That was a fun synth!
Anyone know how many user presets can be saved?
