Novation Bass Station II Swifty Edition Paraphonic Analog Synthesizer

The Novation Bass Station II Swifty Edition is a limited‑edition variant of the acclaimed Bass Station II analog synthesizer, featuring bold white‑and‑blue artwork designed by Ian “Swifty” Swift. Sonically and functionally identical to the original, it adds fresh visual energy and comes with exclusive new artist presets.

Under the hood, it retains the Bass Station II’s powerful analog signal path—dual digitally controlled oscillators, sub‑oscillator, dual filters, modulation capabilities, step sequencer, arpeggiator, and expressive hands‑on controls—all in a compact, visually striking package.
