20 years ago, the original Novation Bass Station was rocking dance floors with rich, meaty bass sounds that helped define the ’90s dance scene. Based on that, Novation have just finished reinventing the monosynth into the Bass Station II, which now contains two oscillators (plus an additional sub-oscillator), two filters, patch load and save capability, two envelopes and two LFOs, and a step sequencer (fun!), among other features.

Here’s a video of Novation proudly showcasing the gear they’ve put out over the years.

From the official press release:

“The original Bass Station was released in 1993, but its heritage goes back a lot further: to the 1970s, thought of by many as the golden era of synthesis. Synth designer Chris Huggett has remained a constant design force for Novation over the years. Huggett has decades of experience in hardware synth design, having pioneered the development of digitally controlled analogue synths including the OSCar. He also designed such classics as the Wasp, released by Electronic Dream Plant in 1978 – and there is a direct line of descent from the Wasp filter to the awesome “Classic” filter in Bass Station II.”

Oh, and it’s gorgeous:

I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this thing.
