What Novation Bass Station does
Two programmable macros and X-Modifiers extend the modulation options, and programmable velocity responses with poly aftertouch complete the playing controls.
The signal path runs through a high-pass filter, distortion, chorus, delay and reverb effects, and an arpeggiator sequencer with macro automation handles pattern work. More than 300 presets are included and a preset browser organizes them.
Key features
- Poly modes. Mono, Mono Unison, Legato and Autoglide modes are offered, with polyphony up to 16 voices.
- Filter. A 2-pole and a 4-pole filter are available, and the developer describes the resonance as screeching.
- Macros and X-Modifiers. Two programmable macros manipulate sounds together, and X-Modifiers add a broad set of modulation options.
- Arpeggiator sequencer. The arpeggiator includes a sequencer and supports macro automation.
- Effects chain. A high-pass filter, distortion, chorus, delay and reverb effects are built in.
- Velocity and aftertouch. Velocity responses are programmable, and poly aftertouch is supported.
Use cases
- Bass lines and leads. The filter sweeps and oscillators are described by the developer as suited to bold basslines and expressive leads.
- Arpeggiated patterns. The arpeggiator sequencer with macro automation is used to build rhythmic patterns.
Who it is for
Bass producers, sound designers and mix engineers who want a software emulation of an analogue-style bass synthesizer with arpeggiation and effects built in.
