Novation Bass Station II Analog Synthesizer (Swifty Edition)

Created in collaboration with legendary graphic designer Ian “Swifty” Swift, the Bass Station II Swifty Edition features a striking blue-and-white design inspired by some of the most influential record labels and magazines in British music history. With its true-analogue signal path and deep sound-shaping capabilities, this limited edition synthesiser is a powerful tool for electronic musicians, producers, and sound designers.

At its core, the Bass Station II is a two-oscillator analogue monosynth with a dedicated sub-oscillator. Each oscillator offers four waveforms – sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square – along with sync options for aggressive harmonics. The mixer section allows you to blend in external audio, noise, and ring modulation for even more sonic flexibility.
