Aphex Twin's visual collaborator Weirdcore created this next clue. More hints will be appearing this week, with all revealed on 20.10.20. We also think that the track used here makes incredible use of AFX Mode – 10 guesses as to who created it…

Novation shared this teaser video of a new collaboration with Aphex Twin (Richard D. James).
Details are still to be announced, but the video suggests that they’ve collaborated on a keyboard synth that offers microtuning and the AFX mode of the Bass Station II.
Think you know what they’ve got coming? Share your thoughts in the comments!
Great news! Synthesisers need more weird. Big expensive polysynths are perfect if you think chords are great but the rest of us require strange features and unexpected behaviours. I also think that all synths should have randomness functions built in.
Amen on the randomness feature! Modulation is great,but something more than lfo’s and standard envelopes should be de rigueur these days.
I like your thinking 🙂
making somthing out of random will get your forther then any theory
+1
looks a lot like a bass station in that video
Clearly a paraphonic step child of Peak and BS2 with all the fixings. Ya BStrd!
Weird, Chance, Generative, my go to…..
“When you follow stuff on the internet about Illuminati, New World Order, aliens, even if none of it’s true, it’s just a thousand times better than any science fiction film that’s ever been written. I do believe pretty much all of it. You can’t only believe things which can be proven. It’s boring. Loads of things are unproven, but it doesn’t stop you believing them.”
This is the worst comment I’ve ever read.
That made me read it! Because I love superlatives.
Then you have missed a lot of ragnhild’s comments.
I agree
And it’s in quotes like it’s from someone else…
It’s an Aphex Twin quote from 2014:

Definitely a bass station based thing due to the look of the sliders and knobs we can see between second 20 and 22. Bass station 3 ? AFX mode for bass station 2 ? We’ll know it soon.
with all this hype, maybe it’s a radio that you can rewind? 😉
I always wanted somthing like that
He was refering to the new Teenage Engineering gadget, that I have a hard time finding demos off…
ho really 🙂
Knob layout looks identical to the Bass Station II, so I imagine it’s just a limited edition, rebadged version with some custom RDJ patches and the AFX mode, similar to what they did with the MoroderNova.
These behringer style pre release announcement “teaser’ hype ups are tedious
looks like this is a bs2, now called afx station. plus new box, aphex logo, black knobs, red lighted wheels and the features that came with updates are screen printed on it.
Word! ?
…minus the question mark!
It would suck if it is just a BSII with some tweaks. It would still be a fine bass synth but deserves no new attention if this is what it is.
just makes me think of the moroder nova, an aphex nova for sure
god damn it. it’s just gonna be a bassstation in a different colorway. for fucks sake. novation is slipping.
Definitely a BSII in that video
Basstation 2.5 I’m guessing.
Yet another device to make you sound like someone else.
Unfortunately I don’t think any synth can make you sound like Aphex Twin..
There will be another collaboration synth comming from Novation and Aphex Twin…but the next one is going to be an original, as long as this one sells well.
