A must-have for synth fans

The 25-key keyboard is velocity-sensitive and offers assignable aftertouch. During development, great importance was attached to optimum playability. Thanks to individual suspension, each key responds very easily and ensures that the sound generation is activated immediately. The Bass Station II has a complete MIDI implementation, works as a class-compliant MIDI device, offers MIDI input and output and can be used as a MIDI/USB keyboard for other MIDI devices and music software. Of course, signals from external instruments can also be processed using the analog filter and effects.

The analog sound of the Bass Station II

The Bass Station II offers powerful Bass sounds as well as cutting lead sounds and sparkling arpeggios. Behind the design are the best elements of the original Bass Station, plus the modulation section has been reworked, as have the effects, filters and more. The signal path is completely analog - even the complete "effects section", consisting of Distortion and Filter FM. The sounds of the Bass Station II can also be saved and easily loaded again later. There are 128 memory locations available for this purpose; half of them are largely filled ex works with timelessly good-sounding Bass and lead patches. Additional patches and complete sound sets can be saved and exchanged on the computer.
