  • Real electronic sounds on the fly
Style: Station
There are so many more incredible software synths at far more affordable prices with infinitely more features... so why get an analog? I suppose it's similar to the reason one would prefer having the local newspapers delivered instead of browsing the countless news articles on the web. Or maybe it's the same reason an artist will argue how he can't feel the texture of drawing with charcoal by means of a graphics tablet. I'm an avid listener of music with synthesizers, and if you're not, you're looking at the wrong product. I know Novation has had success with its LaunchPad and I've tried some older software by Novation with complete satisfaction. After researching the differences between this product and some others primarily the MiniBrute, with some regard of other reviews, I selected and purchased the NB2 when the price was low. I'm not a traditional keyboardist, so the 2-octave set of keys doesn't hinder what I play too much. I use this product more to invent my own sounds rather than compose. However the keys and knobs are great as they can double as a MIDI controller for your DAW via USB. Pros: - Flip on a switch, plug in the amp, turn some knobs, and start grooving... - or construct a cacophony of debilitating longitudinal waves within seconds! - Can store sounds on the hardware (1-69 are presets, 70-127 are default patch, all of which are editable) - Can store sounds on the computer (Save/Load files through [...] - 24 knobs of fun, including one especially big knob that's more fun to tweak than the others Cons: - Professional grade recording involves additional expensive equipment (as if $500 bucks wasn't enough to satisfy your lavish hobby) What unique features of this product did I enjoy? - Novation's well organized balanced palette of tools to use on subtractive synthesis - Interesting LFO implementation - Aftertouch: Push a key extra hard for a user-programmed effect - Arpeggiator: Play live at a set tempo or program your own-add a dash of swing to taste! - Separate or combine ADSR of modulation envelope and amplitude envelope - 3 different envelope trigger options and adjustable portamento (Important if you want to make some retro acid basslines) - Sequencer progammed oldstyle - Explore presets by tweaking knobs, and it will tell you if you're above or below the saved value - Most knob resolutions at 128 or 256 - Fits in your lap and lightweight - Although all these features are nice and handy, I spend most of the time with this product simply crafting sounds What would I change about this product? - Nothing that I can't really get used to Am I a professional musician? - No ... show more

  • I love my Novation Bass Station II
Style: Station
I am writing this review after having purchased it in July of 2020. Oh boy, am I in love with my Bass Station II! Every time I turn it on and listen to its sound, I am taken away from day to day life. Hear me out! I understand this is a monotone analog synthesizer. But the richness! The beauty of the sound! It's so crisp and amazing. This was the first synthesizer I've ever used. I was inspired by DeadMau5 Master Class on EDM, and, after his lessons on analog vs digital synths, I immediately bought this beautiful instrument. Why is this instrument so great? The useability! The cutoff filter, arguably one of most enjoyable dials on any synth, is well-built and well crafted. It responds well to the touch and allows wonderful expressiveness of analog sounds. Wherever I bring my synth, I always have people asking about it. I love it! How about everything else? I'll tell you what... I love to unintentionally play with sounds to see what I can come up with. The ease of changing envelopes, tone, and understanding what you're doing while you're doing it is GREAT on this synth. First synth? This is a great start. Do you own a music shop and want a GREAT new resident synth? This is your addition. I love my Bass Station II, I have a special bond with this synth as it's my first! If you get this device, I hope you find great joy with it as I have. ... show more

  • Super Synth-sation!
Style: Station
All I can say is Wow! This new Bass Station 2 is a producers' dream. It has so many cool features that I can't begin to tell you how dope it really is! I'm going to create so many crushing new sounds and beats with this piece. It wont make any sense! The design and look are solid as well as the controls and switches. You have a lot to work with as far as oscillators, envelopes, and filters to design some of the sickest sounds and patches. It comes with about 70 presets that are off the chart in my opinion. And if you don't like any of those. You can tweak them and make your own mind blowing sounds from scratch. It even has a built-in sequencer to make entire song tracks! With all the parameter manipulation and control at your fingertips. There's nothing you can't create sonically! From drum beats to sweeping sonic riffs and cords. This baby almost does it all. It also comes bundled with Ableton Live Lite Software and a Novation Loopmasters Sample Sound Pack. (Really Cool!). If you are looking for the future of sound in a 25 key synth action keyboard. Look no further! Novation has gone above and beyond the call! Im loving my new Bass Station 2 synth! And even though it's my first. As sweet as it sounds. It may definitely be my last! I'm very happy I did my homework and got one. Worth every penny! I would definitely recommend to a friend. ... show more
