![]() I know the the MiniBrute is heavy and solid and hell. The sound of this plastic box totally squashes those complaints. It's pretty solid but I do wish the back panel was a bit more sturdy. If there is anything I don't like about the BS2 it would have to be the plastic case. The arp/step sequencer is like crack!! I can't stop playing w/ it! I am coming up with so much good stuff that way. ALso, running it through MAschine is starting to become my go to writing platform. Ultimately, I'm very satisfied w/ my choice. I don't have much other analog gear so the CV/Gate wasn't a factor for me. Honestly though, I like the idea of no patch memory and super old school vibe of writing down patch settings or taking a pic of them to remember them. What made me choose the BS2 was patch memory and the fact that the MiniBrute only has 1 osc. Deciding between the Bass Station 2 and the MiniBrute was a tough one. If my memory serves me correct, I think it went toward buying my Maschine MK2, which, by the way, I would never even think about selling.Īnyway, I was in the same boat. At the time I needed the funds for something else. I can do EVERYTHING it can do w/ any of my VST synths and a MIDI keyboard though, which is ultimately why I sold it. IDK why but I really liked the MicroKorg. I'm on the market for an analogue synth as well and I can't choose between the MS-20 mini, Sub Phatty, Bass Station 2 and Minibrute. With a few oscillators and filters and some knob twisting you can record an entire song with all its parts. Lead sounds, bass lines, bass drums, snares, hi hats, pads. The thing I LOVE about analogue synths is that you can do ANYTHING. The Bass Station gives you something that your computer actually can't. The Microkorg is cool and all but at the end if the day it's just MIDI controller with a sound chip and some DSP that a VST can emulate just as we'll if not better. If you need me I'll be here in Pittsburgh, PA bringing back the ACID.īoddAH wrote:The cool thing about the Bass Station II is that it's a true analog synth. I'm in love! I find myself getting lost for hours creating these sick, squelchy 303 sounding bass-lines. This thing WILL be in my arsenal for the foreseeable future. ![]() I just thought I'd post this and praise this little beast just in case anyone was looking at it and thinking about grabbing one. I'm also having a blast running it through a group in Maschine. I've never had so much w/ an envelope in my life. That Sub OSC really brings it all together wonderfully. Two Osc, a sub OSC and a noise/ring mod/ext signal mixer. The simplicity of the whole lay-out just screams to be tweaked and played. The sounds that I am getting out of this little plastic box are just ridiculous! I can hardly believe it. Distortion and Osc Filter Mod effects are sick! The "ACID" filter adds to the 303'ish-ness too. The arpeggiator and step sequencer alone are almost worth the price of admission. Things I NEED like a new interface, etc.īut then I sat down and really started to get into it and I must say, this thing is most definitely a KEEPER! I will not be getting rid of it and if it broke, I'd probably buy another one. At first I was contemplating sending it back simply because I was imagining all the other things I could've bought w/ the $$ I spent on it.
