Released in 1993, the original Bass Station synthesiser was the second piece of hardware ever created by Novation and it's now hailed as one of the most important in the company’s history.

Bass Station’s signature sound was achieved using flexible, digitally-controlled oscillators (DCO’s), classic waveforms and a warm analogue 12db / 24db filter, combined with a modern twist: real-time MIDI transmission. This was quite a rarity at the time, and allowed for expressive live ‘tweaking’ to be captured and recorded. Parameters could also be automated, making Bass Station perfect for studios and live performance.

Key features:

• Analogue Synthesis: Pure analog signal path for a warm, rich sound. 
• Two Oscillators: Dual oscillators with multiple waveforms for diverse sound creation. 
• Classic Filter: A distinctive filter design that can produce punchy bass tones and aggressive sounds. 
• Compact Design: Portable size suitable for studio or live use. 
• MIDI Capability: Allows for seamless integration with other MIDI devices. 

Notable aspects:

• Pioneer in Analog Revival: One of the first new analog synths to hit the market after the 80s, bringing analogue warmth back into the spotlight. 
• Bass Focused: Primarily designed to produce powerful, punchy bass sounds, but versatile enough for other tones. 
• Classic Sound Reproduction: Can emulate the sound of iconic analog monosynths like the Roland TB-303.
