via Novation
Together with visionary British graphic designer Ian “Swifty” Swift, we’ve reimagined our iconic paraphonic synthesiser in his inimitable DIY style and packed it with fresh, new artist packs from Bass Station II power users Legowelt, Pecq, and Maria Chiara Argirò.
Key Features
Limited-edition colourway
Includes 60 new artist patches
Two analogue oscillators
Two characterful filters
Incudes AFX and Paraphonic modes
Analogue soul.
Since 2013, Bass Station II’s deep capability, raw character, and unbeatable value have made it a modern classic. Now, together with British designer Ian “Swifty” Swift, we’re reimagining it with a fresh, new look, that brings underground attitude to a synth that's long been a driving force in electronic music.
Powerful analogue oscillators
Bass Station II’s true-analogue signal path begins with two tuneable, syncable oscillators with four waveforms each plus, a sub-oscillator for even more low end and adjustable portamento. The two dedicated LFOs allow for modulation of other parameters via four waveforms of their own.

"The sampler has been completely refurbished. The casing has been painted black. All tact switches have been replaced, the old LCD with a new LED and pad sensors. Additionally, I have installed the Gotek FDD emulator (32GB Sandisk pendrive included), the latest Vimana 3.15B OS, max RAM memory and multivoltage power supply. This means that it does not need step up or step down converters to work! The voltage switches automatically depending on the place in the world. It accepts AC voltage from 65 to 265V. This is probably the only such version in the world. I was going to replace the LCD window, as it has a few scratches, but I'll leave that to the new owner. The glass is available on eBay, and replacement is easy (double-sided tape). Insured shipment."

Custom Drawn Panel Black & Gold ARP Axxe Mk1

"You're looking at an original vintage Black and Gold-finished Mk I ARP AXXE. In nice working condition overall, only expect some crackling here and there. Look the unique cosmetics, since the panel's original paint has vanished, the modules and signal flow diagram have been distinctively hand-painted on gold by underground comic artist Angel Alvarez. A white overlay is also provided for more of a classic look (see last picture). It has electronics similar to the Odyssey, but the AXXE owns its unique timbral character and, while you can get the famous analog ARP tone, it could produce different sonic results including both powerful basses while being capable of real punchy and vibrating sizzly lines, still at a fraction of the cost of its sibiling [sic] and also keeps a couple of neat tricks under its sleeve, as you can appreciate watching this video [posted here]. A great bonus are the connections on the back allowing an external synth or signal to be processed, a control pedal input for the filter plus CV, Gate and Trigger inputs and outputs. [ Note: Buyer consents to provide any information needed if buying outside the EU trade bloc ]. Will be packed thoughtfully."

Minimoog with MIDI and Red Makeover

"Minimoog Model D with Kenton MIDI conversion > This minimoog has been recently serviced and plays very well. It has a Kenton MIDI conversion which allows it to be played over MIDI. The top panel is in good condition but the case has quite a few knocks, especially on the left side - see the photos. The origin of the red paint and red knobs is unknown but is a professional job. The case was obviously dismantled and painted inside and out.
There are two non-standard silver knobs for the master tuning and Osc 2 tuning. These are 'vernier' knobs which allow for very fine tuning. They have 10 turns instead of the original knob's 1 turn.
The voltage plaque says 110V but it was converted a long time ago to UK /euro voltage with a UK plug.
In response to questions about this, all I can say about the modifications is that they were there when I bought it in around 1990 - I find the fine tuning knobs really useful. I don't have any internal photos but the guy that serviced it said that some circuit boards have been changed, I believe it has the later oscillator boards. VEMIA can collect and pack: 18GBP."

"Newly restored Roland CR-5000
Knobs have been cleaner though and the case has been cleaned and refinished to get rid of yellowing. The original switches have been replaced with linear & silent keyboard switches and 3D printed keycaps.
The new switches are awesome and will easily last 40 more years. The case is missing some screws but is sturdy. The case has a stain shown on the right side of the drum machine. Everything works on this drum machine and it’s ready for a new home. Thanks!"
