I like how this video was posted on April 14th

Wow... i would never expect a synth manufacturer to support an old instrument to this extent after this long... I might buy one only because of this...

Killing it!

Thank you for the continuing support of this instrument! Really cool update!

This is amazing!!! I cant believe that after last update you could surprise us with something even better... And this proves that you are one of the best companies in the world. You could make an entire new product with this last two updates, and call it a bsIII, but you gave this to us and brought a new life in old yet great synth.... Thank you thank you thank you! Every company should take care of their old products and customers like you do... And big thanks to Aphex Twin, he is genious and inspiration always..

It’s crazy that these past 2 updates allow the Bass Station to compete with synths 2-3 times it’s price.

Bought a BS2 a month or so ago. This is like Christmas has come early. You're killing it Novation - awesome service.

Guys, you are the greatest! This is how developing and improving product on market should be! Endless possibilities from Bass Station. Thank you!

You guys are amazing, I can see some long weekends ahead learning this :)

This is so amazing, a whole new world opens up! Absolutely incredible update, thank you!

This is a perfect example of the reason I have so many Novation products! Other manufacturers rarely, if ever, mention people (well known band or otherwise) who suggest a great idea, let alone listen to them or implement it, but Novation …. Yeah! What a very cool update. Want a 3rd osc on a 2-osc synth? Sure. Want your diminutive BSII to split sounds along the keyboard like an old-school Emulator? Sure.

Fantastic demonstration Calc! You move very quickly through the features in a very easy to understand way, and the things you're doing actually sound good so it remains interesting to watch. I also like the way you demonstrate multiple new features in conjunction with one another. You're the king dude.

Novation Team= The best support on hardware firmware, amazing update on Bass Station too! AFX mode it's really cool. Thank You!

Awesome update. We recently were asked at work what brand we admire and why. I chose Novation and cited its commitment to customers and the way it continues to update and add new features when you could easily release a new model with new firmware. Other synth manufacturers could learn a lot from you. Thanks Novation Music!1

You guys just UNBELIEVABLE! Thanks for the amazing work you keep putting into this great great lil synth!

You guys are absolutely awesome with these updates!

wow! you’ve really taken this synth to a new level...and released just as I’m working out new ideas for drum lines. Thank you!!

Novation has earned my respect. I love the BS2. It was also affordable. And they are still making it better.

The support and continued development benchmark that other manufacturers should strive to achieve. Unprecedented updates!

Amazing update yet again, especially love being able to tune the sub independently. Going to be able to make some really rich bass patches with 3 oscillators.

Man, you guys are crazy! :P This Synth becomes a batter value as time passes! :] I have a *LOT* of respect for your Company & I'm glad I decided to business with you!

This is so insane and amazing! Thanks for continued support and now almost a new synth with the individual key option. Sweet.

Just superb - had this synth for years and it just gets better

The BS2 just gets better and better, thank you!

this is incredibly helpful!! thanks bunches to you good people over there at the Hobson novation station!! these super deep developments of a somewhat older synth of yours is... well, it's very generous & greatly appreciated. bravo, team!!

I ordered one the day before this was announced, now waiting (im)mpatiently for its arrival. Your support is legendary!

Great update and well presented demonstration. Thank you.

I am so glad I decided to purchase this synth when I was faced with other options. Thanks Novation!

I love that you're still updating this. Thank you so much for continuing development on the BSII. You stand out from your competition big time. In fact its this kind of commitment which made me readily choose to buy your SL MkIII. No brainer. Thanks again.

I just bought a BS2 beause of these amazing upgrades Novation keeps coming up with. Keep going guys ... don't let me down.

Absolutely incredible update, this makes the bass station on par with elektron gear which I use, thank you novation, and keep the updates coming!

My Bass Station II will arrive today! Excited 😁

Awesome update. Nice Tutorial/demo. Thanks Novation.👍

Amazing! Thanks for another awesome update. If I had only one further feature request, it would be to enable saving sequences per patch... but then I feel like we’ve been quite spoiled already. ;-)

This synth was already the centre of my sound, now im just like, wow. Amazing brand amazing synth

Just updated mine. Thanks so much for the new firmware, guys! God bless you all!

Amazing and unexpected update!!! Thanks so much!!

Fantastic additions to an already fantastic synth !

I'll rock my Bass Station II forever. FOREVER.

Wonderful presentation, just picked up BS2 few days ago, was not aware of this bomb functions! ,) Thanks a lot!

Man, the last update gave me my first real paraphonic analogue experience ... and now this! Love it!

Novation , best support ever , love these guys , always been stand up when it comes to help and spare parts.

All i can say is awesome.thanks novation for keeping the torch burning on the bass station 2.this definitely makes this one of the most powerful and amazing priced mono synths available.

I think this firmware update makes the BSII the most versatile synth for its price. Unbelievable job guys, you are amazing!

This is just one of the reasons why I buy Novation :)

Nice job, Novation. Demonstrating again why you're one of my favorite synth makers. The BS2 has long one of my favorite synths but the recent updates have just taken into true beast mode.

What a lovely time to buy bs2

Thx Mister James!

I know this synth has been around a while, but this update just inspired me to buy one! The 3 oscillator tuning, and the patch-per-key mode are amazing! This what did it for me. Buying now.

I recently sold my Minilogue and got a Bass Station 2. It was even better than I expected, especially with the previous firmware...but this is just MINDBLOWING! Thank you, Novation :)

Good synth, great update. Respect!

Access AFX Mode: 4:28 Need help installing Bass Station v4.14? We have a handy guide here: bit.ly/AFXModeHelp We have also created a new v4.14 User Guide here: bit.ly/AFXModeUserGuide

I cant belive it. Its like buying a new Synthesizer, what a time to be alive!!

I'm really impressed by the way you guys continue to support this gear. I bought on halloween day at least 5 years ago maybe longer and it's still expanding its abilities. Definatley makes me want to buy other novation gear

Bass Station II is a gift that keeps on giving) I wonder if we'll ever have 3 voice paraphonic mode)

Just crazy cool thanks guys

First the Monologue by Korg, now this. RDJ, I love you.

Great demo, thanks!

This was the first synth I ever bought, never thought this would get an amazing update like this! Aphex is such a legend for reaching out to Novation 🙏

Yeah, this is how all the companies should work...Well done Novation, this is Real Customer Support... The other companies : Take notes...

Brilliant idea!

I don't own a BSII but these updates are really great. Arpeggiating between patches per note and separate glide times are unusual and great!

Thanks guys!!!! :)

Great! It would be awesome to have the dame follow up for the ultranova. Hell of a synth too

Time for a plugin editor ... great update :)

that's really cool! makes me want to get my bs2 out and do some tracks again. i'm gonna have to print myself a cheat sheet for all those new features.

Bass Station 3 will be a BEAST

Just got this synth, I really really like it.

awesome feature

Cool idea! I was working on this with software years ago..1 instrument gets more complicated in an interesthing way! Good luck with it.

you rocks totally. What a good collaboration. If you need some UX designer in France here at Bordeaux. I'll be so happy to collaborate. I have on BS2 and i'll enjoy it more and more with all that killer features. Real open up the capabilities of the synth. Thank you so much and being passionate is the most effective way to work and live. Cheers.

I've not got a BS2 I've got a circuit but just thought I'd say Novation are really blowing my mind with their continued support and development of products they released aaaaages ago. You would never see apple of Microsoft do this kind of development that actually makes your initial purchase a whole new machine. Hats off chaps !

This is a really smart idea, well done.

Buying one today because of the way you updated the BS2, I have the mini nova and the mono station too. they could benefit from some funky ideas too.

17 unlikes are from people who sold their bass station before the last two updates

So insane ❤️ you guys are the best Novation

I really hope other companies are taking notes of the whole ‘pack as much as possible into one synth’ trend, that’s why I bought the Dave Smith Pro2 and so many of the Elektron machines. This was a pleasant surprise for my Bass station but need to be the new trend. Analog soul, digital mind 👌🏽

The features added are unreal. The BS III could be crazy! Novation are doing unreal work on the software side of their hardware products.

Crazy crazy crazy !!!!! Thank you !!!!

amazing! thx AFX and novation

I love everything about this

Briliant. I am thinking about selling my Subsequent37 and getting a BS2 again. The Subsequent37 is a beautiful instrument, but if I can get a few quid back, have a smaller footprint, an awesome sounding synth in its own right and a lot of the functionality (be it with secondary functions and not with direct accessibility) of the Moog, it's hard to not think about selling it. (But then there's the awesome peak and one shouldn't push one's wallet or one's gas too hard.) Apart from all that: Novation, you rock! Especially for not bringing out new stuff without thinking about the old first. Not only does this save money and material, it also lets your customers know you care about them. Sure, it's gonna be hard developing free updates and not getting out any new products and making money, but with the current mix of new products and updates for old ones I couldn't be more happy with. I kind of regret having sold my Circuit with the ton of updates you made for it, so perhaps I'm gonna get back on a Novation train. It's a pleasant surprise, just like with Behringer, whom I seriously doubted at the beginning but quickly came to admire for their brilliant stuff as well. So keep up the good work and be proud of yourselves! :)

Very cool - similar to what Elektron have with sound locks on the analog four. Always wondered why more synths didn’t have this feature.

With an external sequencer & AFX mode you can now get even closer sounding tb-303 lines.

Looks like it's time to unbox the ole BSII again!

I've always thought the BSII was the little synth that could, and you guys keep proving that. If I could only have one analog mono this would be it.

Novation loves what they do and it shows. Everything they create is among the best in its category and definitely receives amazing support. The question is... What's next?

You always impress with your consistent and powerful updates to existing hardware. Any new stuff in the pipeline for Mono Station? I chose that over the BS2, mostly because I love the Circuit sequencer. The most useful feature to add there would be micro timings to get off the grid.

Banging stuff!

Really great, thank you so much! Developed in cooperation with a living legend, free update and just go on a web page and update firmware from there.. it can't be better! What product from Novation do I buy next?

This looks brilliant! One question @NovationTV . Can you select patches stored in the unit memory to use inside the overlay table or maybe send them via sysex ?

thank you novation

This is why I buy Novation pur sang. Price, quality and product support.

this is freakin amazing!!!

I have a Circuit and love it. I've been on the fence about getting a BS2 to include with my set up, but Novation's commitment to customer service and improving their products has won me over. This will be my next purchase!

Wow. Amazing. Thanks Novation! If you do another update, after these already generous ones, would you consider adding a few more slots to the sequencer?

Wow.......wow! Novation is killing it! Speaking of AFX, microtuning would be absolutely killer on this incredible machine as well.

Amazing update; again! Sequencing in the AFX mode is great fun, and opens up lots of potential to re-think what a monosynth can do. This is such a great synth, even before these firmware updates.. You should really release a BS3 / BS2 Deluxe with a larger keyboard and separate controls for each ADSR. The only issue I have with the synth is having to switch between sets of controls for ADSRs, Noise/Ringmod/Ext, DCO 1/2, PWM, and LFO delay/speed. If those controls were separate, the BS3 would easily be the best premium monosynth on the market.

Yeah. I’m going to buy one :)

This is pretty staggering - well done team Novation. All you need to do now is release a Novation pencil and notebook combo so we can write down all the feature instructions.
