Since its release in 2013, Novation Bass Station II has cemented itself as a modern classic in analogue synthesis. A staple in studios and live setups for over a decade, it delivers deep sound design capabilities, raw character, and unbeatable value. Now, this modern classic gets a bold new look, courtesy of Ian "Swifty" Swift - the visionary designer behind the unmistakable aesthetics of Mo' Wax, Straight No Chaser, and many more; a key figure in the evolution of the visual identity of UK hip-hop, jazz, and street music culture.
This limited-edition Bass Station II features Swifty's signature typography, custom-printed panels, and graphic motifs inspired by rave flyers, dubplate culture, and DIY zines - bringing underground attitude to a synth that has been a driving force in electronic music for over a decade.
Equally at home on stage and in the studio, Bass Station II can sound as warm and mellow or aggressive and hard as you want it to; modulate the filter to make it sing, crank the distortion to toughen up the bass, and push the resonance into self-oscillation to get those lead lines screaming.
With two tuneable oscillators plus a sub-oscillator for enhancing the all-important low end, Bass Station II more than delivers when it comes to generating raw, analogue tones. There's also a noise source, PWM, ring modulation, two distinct analogue filter types, and plenty of modulation in the shape of two LFOs and a pair of ADSR envelopes for added tonal-shaping options.
With a powerful collection of controls intuitively laid out at your fingertips, Bass Station II encourages deep sonic exploration via a fluid and fun workflow. Created a sound you love? Save it in one of the 64 user preset slots.
Bass Station II comes pre-loaded with 64 diverse preset patches, each designed to show off different aspects of its sonic flexibility. Looking for some fresh inspiration? Head over to Components, where you'll find a wide selection of artist presets to download for free. Components also acts as Bass Station II's software librarian, allowing you to manage all your patches from one convenient interface.
To celebrate the launch of this special edition of Bass Station II, Novation has curated a selection of exclusive new presets from some of their favourite artists of the moment. Explore a host of fresh sounds from Dutch techno icon Legowelt, alt-pop duo Pecq, and virtuoso keys player Maria Chiara Argiro.
When you need instant melodic inspiration, Bass Station II's pattern-based arpeggiator and step sequencer are ready to roll. Record your own patterns into the sequencer in real time, then store them for use with any patch. Sequences and arpeggios automatically sync to your connected music software or MIDI hardware, and swing values are easy to dial in precisely via a simple shortcut.
Bass Station II includes everything you need to connect to your music software and MIDI-capable hardware. You get 5-pin MIDI In and Out for external synths, controllers, and sequencers; a sustain pedal input; an external audio input for routing other sounds through the analogue filter and effects; and a dedicated headphone output. Bass Station II can be powered via USB and is also class compliant, meaning it requires no drivers for USB MIDI functionality.
Bass Station II is a paraphonic synth allowing you to play two notes at a time rather than just one. Try playing with Ring Mode, Oscillator Sync, and the Filter Mod to discover wild, new overtones.
Realised together with electronic music legend Richard D. James, aka Aphex Twin, AFX Mode allows you to load a different patch to each key. Load subtly different patches to each key for instant variation or assign wildly different sounds across the keyboard. You can even create entire drum kits to play beats using the keys or via the Arpeggiator.
The Components content manager allows you to backup and restore your patches and AFX Overlays from your Bass Station II. It also gives you the ability to upload third-party tuning tables, personalize your start-up message, and more.
Two powerful analogue oscillators - Bass Station II's true-analogue signal path features two tuneable, syncable analogue oscillators each offering four waveforms: sine, triangle, sawtooth, square, and a sub-oscillator. The mixer section allows you to blend in external audio inputs, noise, and ring modulation.
Extensive analogue filter section - Bass Station II includes two characterful analogue filters, controllable via an extra-large cutoff knob. The Classic Filter is a state-variable filter, switchable between high-pass, low-pass and band-pass modes with a 12 or 24 dB per octave slope, while the Acid Filter is a dedicated 24 dB per octave low-pass filter perfect for dark, squelchy basslines.
Overdrive, distortion, and more
Go all the way from ambient to aggressive with a pre-filter analogue overdrive and a dedicated post-filter distortion control in Bass Station II's effects section.
Flexible modulation - Bass Station II's two LFOs offer triangle, sawtooth, and square waveforms, along with sample and hold. You also get two flexible ADSR envelopes. Pulse-width modulation can be shaped via a dedicated knob, an LFO, or a modulation envelope. Plus, modulate the filter from OSC 2 for classic analogue FM tones.
Powerful step sequencer and arpeggiator - Perform notes, ties, rests, and rhythms in real time using the step sequencer and arpeggiator, then store them for use with any patch.
Made to be played - Bass Station II features 25 full-size synth-action keys with portamento, glide, and assignable aftertouch. The front panel is clearly arranged and labelled for intuitive patch design and sound editing.
New artist patches - Bass Station II Swifty Edition comes complete with 60 brand-new sounds from Dutch techno icon Legowelt, alt-pop duo Pecq, and virtuoso keys player Maria Chiara Argiro.
Extensive patch storage - With 64 factory patches pre-installed and space for 64 more of your own, Bass Station II makes it easy to create, save, and recall your favourite sounds.
Paraphonic Mode - Bass Station II allows you to control the pitches of each oscillator separately and play two notes at a time instead of one. Try applying ring or filter mod to add even more character to your sound design.
AFX Mode - Realised together with electronic music legend Richard D. James, aka Aphex Twin, AFX Mode allows you to load different sounds to each key on the keyboard. Use it for everything from subtle sonic variation to wildly different sounds for every note or entire analogue drum kits that can be triggered manually or via the Arpeggiator.
Hardware and software connectivity - Bass Station II includes all the connections you need to interface seamlessly with the rest of your studio, including 5-pin MIDI In and Out; sustain pedal input; a dedicated headphone socket; and USB connectivity for MIDI control with your DAW, bus power, transferring patches, and updating firmware.

Protégez votre investissement avec la Garantie de fiabilité Long & McQuade.
Une bonne garantie est souvent un facteur décisif au moment d’un achat. Étant donné qu’une réparation peut être très dispendieuse, les manufacturiers n’offrent en général qu’une protection limitée d’un an couvrant seulement les défauts de fabrication. Lors d’une acquisition aussi importante que celle d’un instrument de musique ou d’une pièce d’équipement, vous voudrez avoir l’assurance que votre achat sera protégé de façon adéquate.
C’est pourquoi Long & McQuade offre une année GRATUITE de sa Garantie de fiabilité sur la plupart de ses produits. Cette couverture, qui bonifie celle du fabricant, vous procurera la tranquillité d’esprit que vous recherchez.
En quoi la garantie Long & McQuade se distingue-t-elle de celles des autres fabricants?
- Fiabilité assurée : l’usure normale de certaines pièces est couverte. Le produit fonctionnera aussi bien qu’au premier jour pour toute la durée de la protection. Pour les instruments d’orchestre, nos techniciens et techniciennes évalueront la nécessité d’effectuer un nettoyage en profondeur, un remplacement de tampons ou un nettoyage à ultrasons. Ces services ne sont pas offerts systématiquement dans le cadre de la Garantie de fiabilité.
- Possibilité de remplacement : si votre produit est irréparable ou coûte trop cher à remettre en état, nous l’échangerons contre un modèle identique ou équivalent, sans frais supplémentaires. Si ce n’est pas possible, nous vous accorderons un remboursement complet.
- Politique anticitron : si votre article présente un problème récurrent, nous le remplacerons.
- Accessibilité : vous pouvez vous prévaloir de votre garantie dans n’importe quelle succursale Long & McQuade.
- Réglage de guitare : une mise au point gratuite est incluse à l’achat de toute guitare neuve ou d’occasion.
- Prêt de matériel : un produit de rechange peut être mis à votre disposition pendant la réparation de votre article.
- Survoltage couvert : l’appareil est garanti même s’il est endommagé par une surtension.
- Assurance-accessoires : tous les accessoires fournis avec le produit (pédale, étui, etc.) sont couverts.
- Usage commercial approuvé : l’équipement acheté pour une utilisation intensive bénéficie aussi de cette protection.
Long & McQuade se réserve le droit de limiter l’achat d’années additionnelles. Les produits d’occasion sont protégés par la Garantie de fiabilité pour une durée de trois mois. Certains articles (logiciels, cymbales, etc.) sont couverts uniquement par la garantie du fabricant. Les biens non durables (cordes, anches, baguettes, piles, tubes, etc.) sont exclus, tout comme les dommages accidentels, la détérioration esthétique et les problèmes causés par l’humidité ou la température. Les haut-parleurs endommagés par un usage excessif ne sont généralement pas couverts. Notre garantie ne compense pas la perte de jouissance. A partir de juin 2018, la garantie de performance n'est plus transférable. Valide seulement au Canada.
Achat d’années additionnelles de garantie
Certains fabricants offrent une garantie de plus d’un an, mais qui est en général limitée et moins avantageuse que la nôtre. Lorsque c’est le cas, la prolongation de notre protection vous sera tout de même profitable, du fait qu’elle est plus complète et pratique.
Vous pouvez acheter des années supplémentaires de notre protection si vous souhaitez en profiter plus longtemps. Les tarifs sont les suivants :
- Produits NEUFS : à partir de 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf par année supplémentaire.
- Produits D’OCCASION : à partir de 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer initialement de trois mois à un an. À partir de 4 % pour chaque année de plus.
- Guitares : 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer d’un an à deux. 4 % pour chaque année de plus. Tarif maximum de 45 $. Une mise au point gratuite supplémentaire n’est pas incluse avec l’achat d’années de couverture additionnelles.
- Instruments d’orchestre : 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer d’un an à deux. 4 % pour chaque année de plus.
