The Novation is a limited special edition of the cult Bass Station II - one of the most popular synthesizers of the last decades.

Mister Aphex Twin personally created the brand new AFX mode, which completely changes the functionality and creative possibilities of this synthesizer. The AFX station has special labels for operation and interaction with the AFX mode, which is perfect for sequencing and using the arpeggiator. In AFX mode, each key of the instrument turns into a new patch, making the AFX station a powerful analog drum module, a flexible tool for sound designers or the secret weapon for bass and lead sounds.

The AFX Station comes with 128 new synthesizer patches and seven new overlay banks from Noyze Lab, Perplex On, Richard Devine, r beny and Lightbath, which underpin the creative vision of Aphex Twin and provide plenty of inspiration for sound design.

With eye-catching purple decorative elements and the famous 'A' insignia, as well as the gift box designed by Aphex Twin's longtime employee Weirdcore, the AFX Station immediately becomes a collector's item.
