Novation Bass Station gets a GForce software model and it’s perfect

Nothing punches like the Novation Bass Station, the UK company’s 1993 analog original.

Working with Alan Parsons, PSP recreates Frequency Translator

The Alan Parsons/Keith Adkins handmade, one-of-a-kind Frequency Translator was a key component of The Dark Side of the Moon. And its sound has been hard to describe, let alone recreate – until now.
