Sit back and take in a half-hour Novation Bass Station documentary

It’s about time. British synthesis history can get short shrift compared to the legends of the USA and Japan. Alex Ball has made the documentary that the Novation Bass Station deserves, from its roots with EDP and OSC, to the massive bass synth’s 1992 debut, up to the present day.

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. GForce Software makes a pretty good argument for making this a plug-in: emulate all the powerful sound of the synth and its filter, but add awesome modulation, effects, and sequencer/arp, unison mode, up to 16-voice polyphony, and make it mega-affordable (or free with a keyboard controller).
