the understanding is that novation make analog sound modeling modules, but my bassstation keyboard's manual says that it's analog.
so, what's the low down? digital, or analog?

thanks,

Digitally controlled analogue like a Jupiter.

Ah-hah! So the BassStation is a real analog! I have heard this debate for years now and desided to search the archives.

Hmm so buying a bassstation would not be buying something redundant since I have the Nova...I allways thought all nova stuff (including the drumstation) used ASM modeling...

I've been looking into a Bassstation as a lil' mni controller / bass module for my lappy...I just love the look of it and the sound demos sound pretty good to my ears..

I remember some posts by k where he said it was NOT an analog machine.

Having owned 3 of these babies, I couldn't believe it. I asked for his reasoning, as all of the Novation info states it is analog, and not ASM.

Finally, he (k) said something about the VCO.
Well, it doesnt have one, it has DCO's.
I guess by the strictest definition of 'analog', it is not. If it was true analog, it would have voltage controlled oscillators, not digitally controlled oscillators.

It is 'more' analog than the Nova, if that can be said.

In any case it is a nice little controller, which is what I use when I am not in the studio. I use it with my laptop, and my Nova. Its perfect for that, and it can be used to control some softsynths as well. Pressure and velocity sensitive and KNOBS,
some of which transmit midi. Battery operated, too!

And it has its own unique sound, different from the Nova, so its not redunant,IMO.

Get one if you can, you'll have fun with it!
You can find one for about $250 USD

Basstation rules! I have the keyboard version which you can hang around your neck, looks pretty 80`s like on stage. The deep subbass sound is unique and incredibly analog, ...simply the perfect recipe 4 club tracks! Respect to this Synth!

So, do people rate the sound of the bass station better than that of the super bass station?
