Shitty demo. Unmusical disturbing noise this was the most part.

Frank Cassinelli - agreed, too many folk in KZfaq land listen with their eyes!

I'm using my ears and half of the sample sounds in this video sounded terrible.

+Moog is overrated brand. The logo in Moog costs 200€ alone.

It's a very very decent synth!

That’s that old thing about people knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing.

I can vouch you’re not alone!!

It’s cheap AF, buy it.

You can do even more cool stuff than that. You can put it in a protected mode which stops the afx kit from being overwritten when you change any of the knobs, but if you switch to an octave below the AFX kit, you can edit and modulate that patch. This can be used to create very cool performances actually. For example you could use an external sequencer to play a beat on the two octaves with the afx kit, but then you yourself could flip a few octaves and start doing a performances, by simply holding down a note. Whenever there's an empty space in the beat, you legato to your note. But here's the cool thing, with this protected mode turned on you can start modulating this specific note that you're legatoing to.Sorry if i'm bad at explaining it, but try searching bass station II advanced sound design and watch the example about 43 minutes in. That's bloody cool :-D Makes it sound like you have a setup with a drum machine and a synth.

@@mortenrobinson That's a really cool, unique feature! Cheers for taking the time to explain how it works.

@@mortenrobinson didnt know about this added feature, i was hoping it had the full range if notes! im about to renoise this baby to hell and back

Yeah this blows the competition away as far as features. with the new paraphonic mode and preset key afx mode. it's a no brainer. Going to get one now. So cool

sold BS2, repurchased BS2 hoo :o

Interesting... maybe not such an odd comparison after all. :)

Impressed by turning knobs randomly creating awful sounding sounds. I doubt that.

It’s nothing that needs ‘fixing’ just a function of the synth. But I don’t think there’s been any updates that address it.

0.42 seconds

you did the right thing mate!

Because Moogs logo alone costs 200€

What did the updates fix/improve?

What do you think about the SE-02? It’s pretty much in the same price range only without keys

Sorry, haven’t got a pulse. There are so many cool monos around I could fill 2 studios with them :)

Would be interesting to hear what part of the synth broke and how easy it was to repair, if you care to share?

@@rogier5591 I put it in a stupid place and my wife accidentally pushed it on to the floor so the volume got glitchy, I could still get sound but only if I actively pressed the volume knob down at all time which was really limiting. Since I suck at soldering and such I had a friend repair it, I think he had to order some tiny part which made it more comlicated than it should have been

@@markussamnell6408 Thanks for sharing! Accidents like that can happen, glad to hear it was fixable! I was just wondering about the build quality on these...I had a Monologue for a while and although I liked it as a synth, the build quality was so-so. The lack of bolted knobs (onto the faceplate) made it so that after only a few months of normal use, the knobs would get wobbly... Bass Station II at least has bolted-on knobs, so that's a big plus! I can see myself buying one in the future, but right now I believe I've fallen in love with a granny.. the Moog Grandmother that is :) So I'm saving up for that one first!

It’s not exactly an adjustable gate - but an envelope function. You still can’t do the stabby 303 style with ties like in the S37 comparison. You could simply adjust the envelope if all notes were short, the problem comes when you want some longer notes in there. With a short envelope decay the tied notes don’t work. Thanks for watching and nice comment 👍

Nope. It`s a dark synth ;)

This was made before the 3rd osc update. I’ve another video with the Aphex mode etc.

If you’re not using the CV on the MB with other kit you’ll probably get a lot more from the BS. The only annoying thing for me is dual use of some of the knobs which gets frustrating when you tweak the wrong one.. just remember to save stuff regularly... with the free librarian you can save as many patches as you like.

Sub 37 is definitely a favourite of mine. To me it’s pretty much a benchmark of synth design so setting a standard (but a pricey one).

@@StarskyCarr ok thanks. Had to ask because I have one on order. But this video has me thinking I may have made a mistake if bs2 can do all of these things at the price. I've watched your other videos as well.

@@mpmi7588 You absolutely won't regret the S37.. and as I concluded in my comparison - buy the BSII while you're saving for the S37 :)

According to Legowelt he finds the moog "boring"!!! May have been a sub phatty he was talking about.

No

@@StarskyCarr dang, shame!! Unrelated question: by using the 3 oscillators tuning and the AFX mode, could one make an overlay of the same patch but different chords on every key?

annabelleshaus yes - the intro track does a bit of this, plus some drum sounds. Slight changes in tone and different chords would be the most useful way to use this I think. The drums are just a really good way of demoing that’s what’s actually happening.

They are tons of fun though, the BS2 still does all the stuff it did before and I'm not going to criticise Novation for adding extra functionality!The layers thing is mental when you sequence or arpeggiate through iterations of the same preset. I don't keep up with Moog stuff, are they still adding features to the Sub?

@@ben1210 The problem is not to add things or not, it is the result. How it sounds. As I said it it is my personal feeling and I don't want to argue about a personal feeling.

@@KNHSynths not trying to argue, genuine question! I have to admit to being a Novation fanboy, probably colours my judgement.

the VST comment is just BS imho

Orbital have done alright out of making music with one 😊

8:36 disagrees

@@TealTactics Yeah 30% of the sounds sounded good and 70% awful. Now which one it was?

@@MikkeMan maybe not your style of sounds, and obviously you can program the sounds to your liking.
