With the 4.14 firmware upgrade, Novation have added five new and powerful features to the Bass Station. One of the most exciting features is the new AFX mode. Developed alongside legendary electronic music producer Aphex Twin, the AFX mode allows you to patch on a key-by-key basis. Now you can make subtle changes to sounds as you play, or divide the keyboard into multiple zones for live performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnvelopes now feature a fixed duration parameter, eliminating the decay state of the envelope. The decay slider than dictates the duration of the sustain stage, this is ideal for drum programming and plucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther new features include extended sub-oscillator control, oscillator glide diverse and envelope retrigger count. Each new feature helps to expand the creative possibilities of your Bass Station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe classic Novation Bass Station analog synth reworked\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNovation's Bass Station II is an analog mono-synth with a talent for bass, but a sound-engine that is versatile enough to kick out sharp leads and crisp arpeggios. It brings the best elements of the original BassStation into a brand new design with re-worked modulation, effects, filters and more; like the BassStation, but much much bigger. The signal path is pure analog - including the effects section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardware has been laid out in modules with dedicated pots, switches, sliders and buttons for all major parameters. You can store and recall patches on Bass Station II - it comes with 64 killer factory presets, space for 64 of your own sounds on the hardware and you can store even more on your computer. The Bass Station II has 25 full sized keys that are velocity sensitive with assignable aftertouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it's been developed as a synth-action keyboard, each key is individually sprung so it is light to the touch and highly responsive to the synth engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree analog oscillators\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBass Station II is built on three analog oscillators and a noise generator.

The Classic Bass Station filter can be switched between low pass, high pass and band pass at 12 or 24dB slopes. The Acid filter is based on a diode ladder filter design that delivers a characteristically 303-esque sound that is designed to squelch!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePremium-grade analog effects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBass Station II has two effects (not including the filter overdrive). analog distortion drives circuit components to add new frequencies to the sound. Bass Station II's Distortion function can add gentle warmth, filthy granularity and anything in between. The second effect is Osc Filter Mod which creates a distinctive FM-type sound by using Oscillator Two to modulate the filter frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWide range of modulation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two envelope generators and two low frequency oscillators (LFOs).

LFO One is dedicated to pitch modulation whereas LFO Two is used to modulate osc pulse width and filter frequency. Although it looks like there are four LFO waveforms, the LFO Slew function can be used freely to sculpt LFOs into smoother wave-shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArpeggiator and step sequencer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBass Station II's Arpeggiator and Step Sequencer are\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ekiller performance and production tools\u003c\/b\u003e. The Arp can be directed to run through 32 different rhythmic patterns in different directions with a switchable octave range. You can also engage the Step Sequencer.
