Novation Bass Station II Analogue Synth Review Part 1 at Nevada Music UK


Published on Jun 29, 2013 NevadaMusicUK·848 videos

Novation Bass Station IIs on eBay

"http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/piano-ke... Chris from Focusrite Novation runs us throughthe main features of the ultra cool Bass Station II. Fat analogue synth sounds pour out of this wonderful keyboard and as well as being easy to use, it feature USB and MIDI for a complete studio solution. Bass Station II is an analogue mono-synth based on the classic original Bass Station but updated for the requirements of the contemporary keyboard player. The Bass Station has two filters, two oscillators plus a third sub-oscillator, it provides patch save facilities and has a fully analogue effects section. Add-in a step sequencer, arpeggiator, full sized keys and a powerful modulation section and you have the makings of a synth that is built for bass, but capable of so much more.

Bass Station II is an analogue mono-synth specifically designed for bass, but with a sound-engine that is versatile enough to kick out sharp leads and crisp arpeggios. It brings the best elements from the original Bass Station into a brand new design with re-worked modulation, effects, filters and more - it has all the advantages of the original Bass Station, but with a much, much bigger sound. The signal path is pure analogue - including the effects section, whilst the hardware has been laid out in modules with dedicated pots, switches, sliders and buttons for all major parameters. Critically, you can store and recall patches on Bass Station II, which comes with 64 killer factory presets, space for a further 64 of your own sounds within the unit, and furthermore you can then store additional patches on your computer."

Published on Jul 1, 2013

"http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/piano-ke... Chris from Focusrite Novation creates a track using the Novation Bass Station II and the Launchpad S grid controller. Being a monophonic synth, Chris uses midi to record note information then plays it back to the Bass Station so he can tweak the sound. Then it gets recorded as audio in a clip on the Ableton software so the Bass Station can be free'd up to produce another sound. This is a great way of recording as its both hands on and very creative. The Bass Station allows for experimentation which is hard to do within software as well as teaching your ear how the different controls effect the sound, LFO's, oscillators and filters etc, a great lesson for all the plug in musicians. If your into computer music, you owe to yourself to experience a real analog synth and now with midi and USB connectivity it easily works with software without old school CV issues. Destined to become a modern classic, there's no better place to find your own sounds and blend the best of the old with the new. Affordable, real and fun.

"This is a two stepp sequence jusing the ef303.
I am using the doepfer quantizer, the clock sequencer and two envelopes on the filter (adsr and ar) to make it come allive.The ar generator is triggerd by the clocksequencer and the adsr is triggerd by the ef303.
And i also use some delay .
And i jam along on the rouge and juno."

A drone for Flo (Doepfer A-160, A-161, A-138m and A-150)

Published on Jun 29, 2013 GruithuisenCityMan·448 videos

"With an A-160, an A-161, an A-138m and an A-150 from Doepfer, it's possible to get two different complex sequences at the same time. For even more fun, i have used a Pittsburgh Modular Analog Delay.
(A big thank you to Flo for her advice. It works fantastic !)"

Smomid plus two pyramid interfaces


Published on Jun 29, 2013 nicnut210·31 videos

Update: additional video added below.

"This is a quick demonstration of what I have been doing with my Smomid project. In this video I am playing my latest Smomid (String Modeling Midi Device) which is about a year old and two of my pyramid interfaces which are in the background and mostly just used as light boxes that interact with what I'm playing. I am currently working on some other interfaces so hopefully I will make some videos of those soon.

If you like this video please "like" the Smomid on facebook:

Smomid, Pyramids, Lights, Computer Generated Melodies

Published on Jun 29, 2013

A quick demo of a piece I am working on that incorporates lights that reflect the rhythmic elements of what I am playing. I am also working with playing drums on the Smomid, an arpeggiator I am developing and having the computer analyze what I am playing and generate melodies that imitate what I do.

"Built in the style of the Impossible Box with custom lamps, keys and switches, all cloth covered cable patch cables, labeled and brass framed panels all built into the custom oak case with internal power supply. Designed to act as a standalone acoustic electronic bio-feedback workstation capable of entire lush compositions. All sections have tip connectors specific to the sound field, and/or each section features a standard 1/4" in and out to allow them to be used to process, sample, mangle or transform any external audio. The cloth covered cables included are also stackable to allow for a range of other possibilities. All CV control jacks are 3.5mm.

The central processing section is essentially a time machine - a piece designed to heavily alter captured loops in thousands of way by use of a magnetic patchbay with patchable keys. This section has 3 voltage clock and/or LFO voltage signals which can be used to synch the other sections via CV, or sent out to control external modular synthesis. Additionally, the 1/4" "tap out" can be sent to any equipment that recieves tap signals, or as a simple method to convert to a midi clock.

There are four acoustic elements - two garden panels, a stringed section reminiscent of the mobius harmonizer and a textured blank panel which can be used to capture micro sounds. Any of these acoustic sections can be sent into any of the other panels for processing/sampling, or they can be sent into the four channel mixer.

The mixer amplifies the signals and allows for volume control of each to be sent into any of the following;

the delay section provides delays from extremely tight to about 1.5 seconds with near endless repeats - like that ofthe micro garden. It also accepts control voltage from either the time machine section or any external CV to control on/off and time.

The wave reverb section provides lush waves like that of theLuminist Garden, but also switchable to provide analog delay like that of the illuminist Garden. It also features CV in to control on/off and has decay when switched off so there are no sudden stops in the wave. The time machine CV out will activate and deactivate the reverb in time if patched to the clocks.

The Filter section has mix, resonance and frequency control and CV in to control the frequency - also patchable from the time machine for synchronization.

The result is a piece that's capable of entire fields of sound and deep, rich and layered compositions.

Aside from the Impossible Box (Arius' own studio piece), this is the finest work by Mr Blaze to date.

Includes manual of operation and the cloth covered power cable runs to standard US style plug - outside the US will need a plug converter.

sounds will be added to the folktek site asap."
