I know this is a well loved piece of gear, so thought I’d share this one out.
A Bass Station plugin, made by GForce in collaboration with Novation.

Worth mentioning that it is free for owners of the new Launchkey, SL MKIII or FLKey.

Seems like quite a nice wee softsynth, some nice additions to the original synth. The other GForce stuff I’ve tried has been superb sounding and from what I can tell this follows suit. I’m not really needing any new synths just now but I’ll definitely keep in mind for when the notion does strike me (it eventually does anyway…)
Here’s a wee vido from Hutch’s pal…

Downloaded the demo this morning and played around with it for a bit.

i think my bass station1 was my first synth along with a W30 and juno 106, still got it from 1993 … i think it still works too.

I could have sworn I had a Novation Bass Station plugin like 10 years ago. Is this a reissue? A reimplementation?
Confirmed: I just found an email in my archives from 2010 with details about the Novation Bass Station soft synth. I wonder if they just dusted off their code from 15 years ago?! 
There was one that Novation used to give out in a bundle with their hardware many years ago.
This is a whole new thing developed by GForce.
I’ve not tried it yet but GForce plug-ins tend to be excellent sounding.

Nah this one already sounds better with the low end. The original plug in sounded alright, but this is adding more detail to the low end. I already have a backlog of VSTs so I will sit on my hands for this one.
OG Bass Staion was widely used in 90s goa trance.
so i feel like i need this.

Yeah, the original Novation VST was ok. But I never ended up using it on any tracks, even though I’d fiddle with it. But as I’ve actually got a hardware BSII, I don’t feel the need for this, even though I think Gmedia stuff is awesome!
Downloaded and can confirm, that just like all of G-Force’s stuff, it sounds really good.

I got a Launchkey a little while back. So this was a nice surprise. I really can’t speak to how much it sounds like the original. But I can confirm that it sounds very good!
