A Limited Edition Celebrating a Modern Classic
Launched in 2013, the Novation Bass Station II established itself as a modern classic of analog synthesis. This Swifty Edition offers a unique aesthetic inspired by British club culture, with exclusive typography and patterns designed by Ian "Swifty" Swift. Same iconic sound engine, same sharp character, but a collector's look that stands out on stage and in the studio.For Producers of Punchy Basses... and Much More
Ideal for motivated beginners as well as seasoned musicians, this synthesizer excels in techno, house, electro, acid, synthwave, ambient, or hip-hop. Compact, robust, and expressive, it fits perfectly at the heart of a live setup, home studio, or sound design workstation thanks to its 25-key keyboard with aftertouch and "one knob per function" controls.Technical specifications
