Limited-edition paraphonic analogue synthesiser designed in collaboration with Ian Swifty Swift.

Graphic attitude. Analogue soul.

Since 2013, Bass Station IIs deep capability, raw character, and unbeatable value have made it a modern classic. Now, together with British designer Ian Swifty Swift, were reimagining it with a fresh, new look, that brings underground attitude to a synth that’s long been a driving force in electronic music.

Powerful analogue oscillators

Bass Station IIs true-analogue signal path begins with two tuneable, syncable oscillators with four waveforms each plus, a sub-oscillator for even more low end and adjustable portamento. The two dedicated LFOs allow for modulation of other parameters via four waveforms of their own.

Filters, envelopes, and effects

Bass Station II features two distinct analogue filters: the state-variable Classic Filter and a separate low-pass Acid filter, controlled via the extra-large cutoff knob. There’s also a dedicated filter overdrive and oscillator filter mod control. The flexible envelope section makes it easy to shape your sounds, and an additional post-filter distortion supplies extra grit.

Arpeggiate and sequence

Perform notes, ties, rests, and rhythms in real time, then play them back with the step sequencer. Four separate sequences of up to 32 notes can be saved in Bass Station II and recalled later for use with any patch. Theres also an easy-to-use arpeggiator with dedicated controls to help shape your patterns and an additional swing function.

Made to be played

Bass Station II features 25 full-size, velocity-sensitive keys with a fast, synth-action mechanism, each with assignable aftertouch for modulating oscillator pitch, filter frequency, or LFO speed.

Go beyond bass
