Bad Gear x Novation Bass Station

Welcome to Bad Gear, show about world&most-hated audio tools. By now it must have dawned on even most terminally online late GenX/early millennial person that calling something OG is cringe. Today, however, we are going to talk about Novation Bass Station. This 1993 mono synth and predecessor to incredibly popular Bass Station 2 is more than deserving of title because - it was one of most important heralds of 90s analog revival and B - it even got little shoutout by Wu Tang. Dolla Dolla Bills y'all. Timecodes: 00:00 - Intro 00:55 - Overview Novation Bass Station I 01:39 - Synth Engine, Oscillators 02:06 - Filter 02:21 - LFO 02:38 - What&Under Hood?
