AFX Station Analog Synthesizer

In collaboration with Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin), Novation created the AFX Station, a limited-edition version of the modern classic Bass Station II monosynth. Designed in close partnership with the British electronic music pioneer, it features the same powerful feature set as the original Bass Station II, with a stunning new look, a new sound pack, and silkscreening to reflect the features of AFX mode, conceptualized by Richard D. James himself. The AFX Station is dressed in all-black with a striking purple underside and purple pitch and mod wheel LEDs, plus stealthy Novation branding and Aphex Twin’s instantly recognizable ‘A’ logo. The AFX Station is a visually breathtaking powerhouse of a monosynth, certain to become a collector’s item.

AFX Rerub Of A Modern Classic
Novation AFX Station is the perfect marriage of digital control with incredible analog synthesis inside an already phenomenal, classic modern monosynth. The new limited-edition comes pre-installed with all the features of firmware v4.14, including fixed-duration envelopes, extended sub oscillator controls, oscillator glide diverge and the much-acclaimed AFX Mode, which has been available to existing Bass Station II customers as a special firmware update. Custom silkscreening on the product indicates the functions unique to AFX Mode.

AFX Mode
AFX Mode was conceived by Aphex Twin himself, to turn Bass Station II into a sound designer’s dream. When in AFX Mode, every key on the instrument becomes a new patch, revolutionizing the way Bass Station II can be played. With a completely different sound on every key, the instrument transforms into a hugely powerful analogue drum module, a sound design beast, or a killer bass or lead machine. Whether playing, sequencing or using the arpeggiator, AFX Mode brings a huge sense of creative character to users’ musical creations. Labels for AFX Mode functions indicate how to unleash the potential of the new features.
