Description of AFX-Station:
Novation AFX Station is the perfect marriage of digital control with incredible analogue 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, revolutionising 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 - Updated Visual ID
AFX Station’s blacked-out top panel and purple underside is aesthetically striking and perfectly functional: the white silkscreening and red LEDs lead the user around the synth as usual, and the famous ‘A’ insignia reminds users of the genius under the hood. Purple LEDs illuminate the underside of the pitch and modulation wheels, and dedicated labels indicate how to activate the unique features of AFX Station using function modifier keys - Special Edition packaging
We acknowledge that AFX Station will be purchased by some as a collector’s item. As such, new, limited edition giftbox artwork has been commissioned from long-time Aphex Twin collaborator, Weirdcore (www.weirdcore.tv), with a protective outer carton to keep the internal packaging fresh
Key Features of v4.14 Firmware, pre-installed on Bass Station II AFX Special Edition:
- Fixed-duration Envelopes & Retrigger Counts
Envelopes can be set to a fixed length, so the decay stage is taken out of play, and the Decay slider instead sets the duration of the Sustain stage. The number of times the envelopes retrigger can be adjusted, to bring more control for drum synthesis - Extended Sub Oscillator Controls
The sub-oscillator follows the pitch of Oscillator 1, and can be detuned using the Coarse and Fine controls, so the sub can be tuned to any non-octave-tracking interval you like, for subtle or dramatic creative effect - Oscillator Glide Diverge
Oscillator Glide Diverge allows the Glide time of Oscillator 2 to be slowed down relative to Oscillator 1 by a variable amount, causing the two to diverge for interesting portamento effects, for adding thickness and character to basslines, pads and leads - Microtuning Editing
The frequency triggered by each key press can be completely controlled, giving scales another dimension - Paraphonic mode
The pitches of each of the two oscillators can be controlled separately in its singlevoice architecture. Two notes can be played at a time rather than just one, and users can get interesting interactions through the Ring and Filter Mod
