Novation BASS STATION 2 KEYBOARD!!!

[namnibor]

Great review! I think the omission of key follow for filter and in a new "analog spring" to also omit cv/gate in/out, which would make it more utilitarian in working "outside the box" with the many options out there now, and the sharing of one set of sliders for both envelopes kind of sucky for live manipulation smoothly. Lastly, since part of the BS2 is obviously digital, it makes no sense as the review stated, "...the USB connection does not allow access to the outside world..." (paraphrased), which if that is fact, although there's midi DIN in/out, integration in DAW via USB not being possible, and USB 1.1 at that????
Well, the Waldorf Pulse 2, albeit $300. more, offers much more versatile options, to include CV/Gate, in addition to being able to use low pass filter and high pass filter in series.
BS2 seems like a great option on a budget and the added rather cool sequencer with 4 stored memories not locked to any set program just makes me think had Novation just made this a three octave synth, they could have had knob/sliders per function and a future buy for me. As it stands, find the Minibrute, MS20, and Waldorf Pulse 2 much more viable options for what I wish to do with synthesis and making music. Do not get me wrong, the sound is great but when a user interface is somewhat limited with so many shared functions, well, that's subjective I realize and others may not find these things cumbersome.
