Thanks, Bo, for showing us some examples of how to use the paraphonic mode along with envelope retriggering. Very cool. Your "Top Three Synths" video of two years ago had already put the BS2 on my wish list. The release of this firmware update from Novation prompted me to go ahead and purchase this synth just yesterday. It's on its way, and I can hardly wait. This will be a lot of fun to explore. Thanks again for all you do.

Great demo of paraphonic mode! I added the 2.5 update, but didn't get to use it before lending my BS2 to a friend. I just got it back, and plan to slap on the 4.14 update before getting into the weeds. You are so right about the updates making this feel like a new synth; I actually bought it again after selling my first BS2, and I copped it after that update and the Omnisphere hardware integration at about the same time. I"m planning to have more fun with this, and hope you are too. Thanks!

Great video! I'm pretty new to all this with synths and I've only been self teaching myself for a couple of years, so I'm no expert at all. But I have a Arturia Minibrute SE which I think is cool, but it feels like it's lacking a lot of stuff. Would you say it's worth getting rid of that in favor for a Novation Bass Station 2?

You can still get a used BS2 for about $325 - $350. The used price has spiked noticeably since this firmware update came out, but it should settle down to $300 or even slightly less after several months and after one or two new (and much more expensive) cool monosynths come on the market. That is inevitable, I think.
@ToyKeeper 5 жыл бұрын
The Microbrute is lots of fun, pretty versatile, and small, but digital controls would be really useful. The inability to load and save patches is a huge drawback. So I mostly just use it for dirty basslines where the fine-tuning and repeatability don't matter. Moving forward, I'll probably just save up for a Peak and/or an Analog Four. I want several voices in a compact system, and I don't really want another set of keys. If there was a multi-timbral Peak, I'd be all over that.
@theTerribleFamiliar 5 жыл бұрын
Yeah there was a time when they could be had easily for $250. I passed on one in favor of a microbrute as well. Love the micro, but do wish I had the bass station II instead!

@System-1541 5 жыл бұрын
paraphonic means that the oscillators share the same envelopes. Duo(poly)phonic synths have envelopes dedicated to each oscillator, or set of oscillators. You'll notice this if you have a slow attack, when you play the second note it won't fade in by itself.
@BoBeats 5 жыл бұрын
Duophonic doesn’t necessarily mean individual envelopes tho. Marc Doty has a good post on this on FB. I think the Sub is called duophonic but its still paraphonic, but I might misremember
@System-1541 5 жыл бұрын
@@BoBeats Not to be a pain, but true duophony is exactly like other polyphonic synths except only two voices. If each voice (be it one or groups of oscillators) doesn't have it's own envelopes and filters and all it's doing is tuning each oscillator independently -- it's paraphonic.
