The Bass Station II has 2 tunable oscillators with 4 waveforms, a sub-oscillator for deep bass, a noise generator and a ring modulator. It also features two distinct types of analog filters: a classic multimode filter (ladder) and a filter with a more acidic character (12/24 dB), for a massive variation in the sound spectrum. And is not left out on the saturation with a more than generous dedicated circuit to triturate the signal at will.
This synth can be as soft as it is aggressive, a real temperamental rascal. It's so easy to find the sweet spot with filter modulation to make it sing! Pushing the distortion, it growls with authority. Push the resonance to self-oscillation and these are leads that will pop up with rage. A myriad of controls of all kinds adorn the Bass Station II panel so that it is conducive to discovery and creation in all directions. The implementation of all these controls has been thought out in the most rational way, so that the sound adventure is as simple and fun as possible for the musician.
The Lfo waveforms are multiple; triangle, sawtooth and square. There is also a sample and hold function and two ADSR envelopes for filter, pitch and pulse width modulation. And to put all this to music, the Bass Station II is equipped with a 25-key keyboard, large format, velocity sensitive, very responsive with its essential aftertouch for expressiveness. The 64 factory patches showcase the enormous sonic palette of Bass Station II. For more flexibility, 64 free slots are reserved for the needs of the user. It is therefore easy to save and load your own patches or manage them in the librarian software supplied free with the Bass Station II.
