BASS STATION Plug-In
Originally launched in 1993, Bass Station’s flexible DCO oscillators and warm analogue signal path defined countless dance and electronic hits. Now a classic, its iconic sound is available as a software plug-in, carefully modelled to faithfully recreate the sounds of a monophonic, dual-oscillator analogue synthesiser.
From deep fat bass sounds to clean screaming leads, this mix of 100 classic original and stunning new sounds create the warmth and resonance missing in today's modern digital synths.

Simple Modulation Routing
Easily routable LFOs create simple modulations, which can directly control the harmonic content of the sound by pulse width modulation or filter cut-off for dynamic sound variations.

More than the Original
For ease of use, the front panel has additional controls when compared to the original. The filter envelope has its own set of ADSR controls, and OSC1 and OSC2 have their own section for pitch modulation and PWM control.
