Novation Bass Station II Step Sequencer


Published on Jun 19, 2016 ProckGnosis

"Jump to 2:05 to skip the intro. Just an overview of how the Bass Station II step sequencer works and how to program in some simple sequences. (click 'show more' to see the rest)

From the manual:
'Up to four separate sequences, each containing up to 32 notes (or a combination of notes and rests) can be recorded. These sequences are stored in Bass Station II and are retained when the synth is switched off. In addition, the currently selected sequence can also be stored as part of a patch.'

Not discussed in the video:
- Editing a sequence after it is programmed (doesn't look like you can do it, other than re-entering the whole sequence)
- Changing the sequence by selecting a different 'Rhythm Pattern'
- Using the "Latch" button, which fortunately does work like a latch button is supposed to, functioning for both the arpeggiator and the step sequencer

I am VERY impressed with this synth. It sounds great, and has some very cool tricks up its sleeve for such a low price. As much as I like the Arturia Minibrute, I would say this have a slight edge over the Minibrute. Why? Mostly because of the second oscillator (offering detuned beating), being able to save patches, and I slightly prefer this filter."
