Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bass Station II is an analog monosynth with a bass-focused voice that also reaches into leads and arpeggios. Its analog signal path includes the effects section, while dedicated knobs, switches, sliders, and buttons place major sound parameters directly under your hands. The 25 full-size, velocity-sensitive keys include assignable aftertouch. For retaining ideas, the hardware holds 64 factory presets and 64 user patch locations, with additional storage available on a computer.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Creating bass parts, sharp leads, and crisp arpeggios from one analog monosynth.
- Programming performance or production patterns with the 32-pattern arpeggiator and four-sequence step sequencer.
- Integrating a USB computer setup with 5-pin DIN MIDI outboard gear.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Parts that demand more than two notes at a time in paraphonic mode.
