Nice choice! I have it for more than a year and I discover new ways of using it everyday 😍

I have the BS II and Peak and both are awesome! Save up for the peak this synth is soo great. definitly my most used synth, i have also the moog grandmother and the neutron.

And it can be powered via usb so you can play literally everywhere with a proper powerbank 😍

I bought a bass station recently. Could someone explain to me how I control the wave curve? Or in other words the rate of the waveform? sometimes I want the timbre to stay in a way but there is a variation between the low and the high. I still don't understand how to keep the wave with a timbre type only.

@@pauloantonio5495 you mean like that slow vibrato effect? Try using both dco with sync on or without any detune. They're analog but the phase can't be controlled like on a sub 25 or a minitaur.

@@testohtoby it's an oscillation. I believe it is related to the filter. modifies the tone, opening and closing. and I wanted the wave to continue with a single sound.

@@pauloantonio5495 I don't completely get it. You want your sound to remain "stable" over time. Like a sustained tone without timbre variations, right?

Glad to hear it!

Great to hear!

That's great to hear! We really hope you enjoy working with the new features 🙌❤️

I wonder how many people screenshot this comment 🙋‍♂️

@@TheXxjmpxxx just did lol my bass station arrives today 🙂

just curious, why 2?

isnt all the patches past 70 just init patches?

Stickers above the key for the new functions, that's what i do.

Do you have a pdf file or something like that to show all function keys?!

I should def try to loop the envelopes, i keep forgeting it's here

@@pauloantonio5495 It is the filter tracking function added in firmware 2.5.

@@Digiphex Thanks so much! I'l try!

i have both the bass station and the peak and i don't agree with your comment. the peak is basicly a summit without the keyboars and only 8 voices but they both sound the same. and the peak sounds awesome. with bell like i believe you use wavetables? those can sound bell like but if you stick to the basic waveforms they sound super fat! and if a sound sounds dull or like a blanked over the speakers, turn off filter key track. by default it's set to 100% and lower notes have already a filter cutting off the high end. this should solve that. i have spend countles hours on both synths and they both sound really good!!

@@Sirius-qr4vu I didn't realize that about the filter tracking. I do love the sound of the BSII so I need to do a thorough review of the Summit. I love the way it is designed and the keybed feels amazing.

Glad you enjoyed it! Afraid - CALC - hasn't released this track but he has shared a video where he performs a much longer version. Check it out - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h5OderuGq9aXcXU.html

That's right. The functionality and architecture of the external input remains the same and is unchanged by this firmware update.

no AFX mode and no paraphonic mode. not the same arp but beside that the peak can do a lot more!

Yes its normal. The filter self oscillates. When all oscillators are turned down and you turn the ring mod up, you can hear that as well.

Afraid that isn't possible. Bass Station II is an analogue synthesiser. All of the sounds are generated using the internal synth engine, it doesn't have the ability to store and play back audio samples of any kind. If you are looking for a device with sample playback and synthesis, you might want to check out Circuit Tracks - novationmusic.com/en/circuit/circuit-tracks John // Novation UK 🇬🇧

@@NovationTV thanks you!

You should find that you can turn the Glide Time control fully anti-clockwise to switch off Legato. You can find more information on page 18 of the User Guide - fael-downloads-prod.focusrite.com/customer/prod/s3fs-public/downloads/Bass%20Station%20II%20User%20Guide%204.14%20Version%202.pdf

@@NovationTV Thanks 😊

i was also intrigued by the protect function and had the same thought... why protect ?

Given that Orbital haven been around since 1989 and the BS 2 came out in 2013 it would be difficult for them to have owned one their entire musical career ;-)

@@slaterslater5944 bass station originally came out in the mid 90s. Small cheap plastic thing.

@@slaterslater5944 so maybe not entire career but I remember in an interview with Paul Hartnoll he held up his original bass station and said it's been on almost everything since '95 or around then, whenever it was originally released. He uses a BS2 on almost everything.

@@ultrajayme Apologies, I missed the "bass station/" part :-) Just got a bs 2 last week after my super bs rack died :-( (hoping Novation might be able to fix it for me as they did my dStation). Amazing sound, although I am missing a few features from the SBS ... SO Novation, if you're listening, how about this for the next update: LFO1 - Amp modulation and triggering of amp and filter envelopes from external audio.

@@slaterslater5944 I've almost bought a Supernova a couple times

I think I am understanding that the bass station has more power behind it.. but it seems a little fragile with all the plastic..

I own a Minibrute 2S and a Bass Station 2. Neither is better than the other IMHO but I do tend to prefer the BS2 because it can do one thing the Minibrute can't do. It stores patches!
