Introducing the Novation Bass Station plugin by GForce Software


January 21, 2025
by GForce Software

Novation and GForce are proud to announce the release of the GForce Bass Station, a brand-new software version of the original analogue synthesiser. Bass Station is an iconic mono-synth, celebrated for its raw, punchy bass and distinctive analogue filter. First launched in 1993, it has been a core part of Novation‘s brand ever since.

The new GForce Bass Station AU / VST is an exact emulation of the original 1993 Bass Station keyboard, now with a new expanded mode, which includes up to 16-voice polyphony and unison modes, taking its versatility far beyond the monophonic hardware original. Additionally, GForce included their unique X-Modifier technology, that enables you to work faster and create extensive modulations of almost every parameter, without having to set up modulation paths; they’re already set up for you.

The GForce Bass Station also includes a high pass filter; a powerful new sequencer and arpeggiator; and effects such as distortion, chorus, delay and reverb. A fully scalable user interface and advanced patch browser streamline workflow also makes it easier to find, customise, and explore sounds.
