novation bass station 2 owners...

Post by ParetoPark »

are there any of you out there?!
I'm thinking of buying one, but I read that you can only trigger the arp with the keyboard, not via midi?
or has this been changed by a firmware update?

This seems nuts to have an arpeggiator that doesn't work if you are triggering the synth by DAW.
hopefully someone can confirm :)

Yeah you can trigger the arp externally, just need to remember to press the right button combos. Do it with my LPP MK3 all the time

SO after 5 years, did you buy it? :)
they made lots of updates on this monster since you posted about it; would definitely recommend u to check it again

Kinda unrelated to the the original topic, but instead of starting a new thread....

So the AFX firmware update, I only gave a cursory glance and thought it was just a microtuning thing like on the Korg monologue.

Happened across a youtube video about it so I gave it a watch, I was mistaken. This update (which I haven't bothered to do as yet) allows you to assign a different patch to each key - this sounds quite unique - I can't recall seeing this feature on any other hardware synth, happy to be proven wrong though.

So you can arpeggiate different patches per note in the same line. Or sequence them. I like this idea.
