Yes, the second demo from actual Novation guy was much better. Kind of surprised they chose to not have cv/out/cv/in with plethora of analog gear and increased interest in modular systems these days. But then again and as he stated, getting best of analog and digital control here! Although have never owned a Roland Sh101 but have heard it in person played, this sounds like a bit more complicated "Roland-ish sound" and of course much more capable. I actually hear from the new multi-mode filter nuances of original Pro One especially in deep bass range. Here some "John Carpenter" like bass sounds from his early movies.
My Waldorf Pulse Plus analog rack has CV to midi converter with cv/in cv/out and am interested in something with keys to control it effectively, but may just resort to good old midi as fully spec'd in that department.
Bass Station 2 *is* a very sexy looking synth. Very cool there's an audio external input and that all the controls send midi cc and can be mapped for those whom use soft synths as well.
A bit off topic but certainly related: Korg's MS20 is being manufactured in China and what read on forums, seems that's where the quality control issues lay in order to mass produce at that price point. Hope they get that sorted because last thing a person wants is a new synth with pots becoming scratchy fast on a synth that begs to be tweaked.
Kudos to Novation for having after touch on the Bass Station 2 keys!!!
