Novation Bass Station II Analog Synthesizer Swifty Edition

Introducing the Bass Station II Swifty Edition—a bold reimagining of Novation's iconic paraphonic analog synthesizer. Designed in collaboration with renowned British graphic designer Ian "Swifty" Swift, this limited-edition model combines a striking blue-and-white visual aesthetic with the same deep sound design capabilities that have made the Bass Station II a modern classic. Packed with over 60 exclusive patches from artists like Legowelt and Maria Chiara Argiro, it offers a wealth of new sonic possibilities. Whether 're crafting deep bass, searing leads, or experimental textures, this synth delivers with its true-analog signal path, extensive modulation options, and intuitive lat. Its updated design ensures a powerful blend of visual and auditory creativity, making it a standout addition to any studio or stage setup. Dual Analog Oscillators for Rich Tonal Depth The Bass Station II features two analog oscillators that form the foundation of its powerful sound engine. Each oscillator offers four waveforms—sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square—with independent tuning and syncing capabilities. A sub-oscillator enhances low-end presence, while the mixer section allows to blend in noise, external audio inputs, and even ring modulation. These tools enable precise tone shaping, whether 're creating warm pads, thick basslines, or sharp leads. With its robust analog architecture, this synthesizer provides a depth of tone that stands out in both studio recordings and live performances. Dynamic Filter Section for Detailed Sound Sculpting The Bass Station II's extensive filter section offers two distinct analog filter types to shape sound. The Classic Filter provides versatile high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass modes, with a selectable 12 or 24 dB per octave slope. For darker, squelchy textures, the Acid Filter delivers a 24 dB per octave low-pass mode that excels at aggressive basslines. A large, intuitive cutoff knob makes real-time adjustments effortless, while dedicated resonance and filter overdrive controls allow to push the boundaries of sound. These flexible filters provide endless opportunities for creative sound design. Innovative AFX Mode for Expansive Creativity Developed with electronic music legend Aphex Twin, the AFX Mode on the Bass Station II transforms each key into its own individual patch. This groundbreaking feature is perfect for creating unique sonic palettes, from subtle variations to entirely different sounds per key. It also allows to program analog drum kits or experimental textures that can be triggered manually or via the arpeggiator. With AFX Mode, this synthesizer becomes an unparalleled tool for exploring new dimensions of sound design and performance. Built-In Sequencer and Arpeggiator for Instant Inspiration The Bass Station II includes a powerful step sequencer and arpeggiator, ideal for generating instant melodic and rhythmic ideas. Record and store own sequences in real time, complete with ties, rests, and adjustable swing values. These patterns sync seamlessly with DAW or external MIDI hardware, ensuring tight integration into workflow. The arpeggiator offers a wide range of patterns and octave settings, allowing to quickly create dynamic, evolving phrases. Together, these tools provide a hands-on approach to building complex, performance-ready sequences. Designed For Creative Professionals and Sound Explorers With its striking Swifty Edition design and deep sonic capabilities, the Bass Station II is perfect for musicians and producers seeking a unique, high-performance instrument. Its 25 full-size synth-action keys with aftertouch ensure expressive playability, while its compact build and USB-powered operation make it a versatile addition to any setup
