Subtle Expressions: Squarp Instruments Hapax Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"With recently obtaining the Squarp Instruments Hapax to act as my main standalone sequencer, I've been diving deep into all the functions it offers. This is the first track I've made putting together a number of items such as automation, assign controls, creative MIDI effects (register, arpoly, etc.), BPM elasticity, and adjustable start/stop loop lengths. I've added notes in the video explaining some key points for the track and additional equipment used, but below is a more detailed list of the sound sources:

Korg Arp 2600 M
Novation Peak
Novation Bass Station II
Korg Opsix
Sequential OB-6 Desktop
Elektron Digitakt II
Befaco Oneiroi
Soma Lyra-8, Erica Synths Black 3109 VCF/VCA, Qu-Bit Mojave
Make Noise STO + Schlappi Engineering Angle Grinder, Make Noise QPAS, Intellijel Sealegs
Moog Mother 32, Ritual Electronics Miasma (Erica Synths Black Polivoks VCF in feedback loop), Erica Synths Blackhole DSP2"

Live Electronic Performance Analog Synth Jam Push 3, Prophet Rev2 #push3 #prophetrev2 #bassstation2

video upload by ASLAA Link Music

"A live electronic performance built using Push 3 as the central instrument to trigger and evolve scenes in real time.

In this session, I explore a flexible structure where each scene represents a different stage of the track — shaped live through dynamics, tension, and space.

🎹 Gear used:

Sequential Prophet Rev2: expressive evolving lead + ZOOM Multi Stomp (Effect pedal)
Novation Bass Station II: analog bass line & repetitive patterns
Splice: additional bass texture
Push 3: scene launching, variations, and live performance control

🎧 A hybrid approach between:

improvisation
live arrangement
electronic instrumental performance

The idea is to let the track breathe, shape textures in real time, and build a sonic narrative as it unfolds.

👉 Headphones recommended for full low-end and detail.

Thanks for listening 🙏"

Bad Gear - The OG

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. By now it must have dawned on even the most terminally online late GenX/early millennial person that calling something The OG is cringe.

Today, however, we are going to talk about Novation Bass Station. This 1993 mono synth and predecessor to the incredibly popular Bass Station 2 is more than deserving of the title because A - it was one of the most important heralds of the 90s analog revival and B - it even got a little shoutout by The Wu Tang. Dolla Dolla Bills y’all.

Novation Bass Station II (Bass Station 2) - Synth Jam by Damiano Della Torre

video upload by Mr Keys

"I had some fun experimenting with a few arpeggios recorded live on the Novation Bass Station II, and just to give myself some groove I used programmed rhythms from Logic Pro for iPad. Everything was easily synced via MIDI/USB.

A real blast! Long live music and see you soon.

Damiano"

Beyond the Noise: Synth and Eurorack Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"The initial idea of this track started with just ambient noise created by running the Mutable Instruments 'Plaits' through the Schlappi Engineering 'Interstellar Radio'. This noise was further processed and randomized by running the signal through various filters and effects.

After deciding to add in melodic and percussive content, the Moog 'Mother 32' and Novation 'Bass Station II' (AFX overlay used) were then added with sequencing provided by the Squarp Instruments 'Hermod+'. To process the Bass Station II further, it was sent through the eurorack setup using a couple Noise Engineering modules and the Befaco 'Oneiroi'.

The Novation 'Peak', Sequential 'OB-6 Desktop', and Korg 'Minilogue XD' and 'Arp 2600M' were added next to provide bass, melodic and ambient drone content. Last added was some additional drums/samples provided by the Elektron 'Digitakt II'."

Horror Times II - Make Noise Strega / Novation Bass Station II / Digitakt 2

video upload by Marty Vibe

"A somewhat improvised concoction using the Strega, Digitakt 2 and BSII. Oh and a few samples obviously. First video with the DT2, it's an amazing device. The BSII can get right down and dirty and is a good 'riff machine'."

Novation Bass Station II Swifty

video upload by MKustomAudio

"The Bass Station II was the first Novation synth I purchased and, with my original unit wearing out, I decided to swap it with the new limited Swifty edition. Except for the end bass guitar and vocal elements, all sounds are from the Bass Station II with additional processing added in post. For the bass guitar and vocals, these were processed through the external in on the synth with the oscillators also being played alongside the vocal element."

I beleive this might be the first still / pic of the original box on the site.

This Is A Great Mono Synth To Pair With Your Sampler

video upload by EZBOT

"In today's episode we are pairing the Novation Bass Station II with the Elektron Digigatk II and Digitone II. One for sampling it and one for sequencing it. The Novation Bass Station is one of the simplest and most satisfying mono synths I've used, I highly recommend it as a first synth, no doubt.

The Novation Bass Station II and Sequential Take 5 were used for external synthesizers alongside backing tracks in Ableton, while the Novation Launch Control XL 3 was used for additional control/manipulation of tracks.
