Yeah my older bro had the original with a supernova back in the day. He sold his entire studio (sh101,303, 808, 909, Virus A, Nord Lead & a massive old anologue mixing desk) when he graduated from his medical course *sigh*.
I've never forgiven him

Analogue synth: brand new version of the classic BassStation. Bass Station II has a
pure analogue audio signal path, reviving the spirit of the original BassStation with an allnew design optimised for bass
Two distinct analogue filters: In addition to the original 'Classic' BassStation filter, there's a brand new 'Acid' diode ladder filter for squelchy 303-esque bass sounds
Load and save patches: 64 factory patches on-board with room for 64 more of your own.
Save more to your computer via USB
Pattern-based Step Sequencer and Arpeggiator: Bass Station II has an arpeggiator with a programmable step sequencer that enables you to store and call up patterns as well as quickly sketch out ideas
Instant hands-on control: Instant hands-on control of the sound engine via a traditional analogue synth control panel
Two Oscillators plus an additional Sub Oscillator: Bass Station II has two sync-able, tune-able oscillators with four selectable waveforms, plus a third sub-oscillator for generating enormous bass sounds
Analogue effects section: Bass Station II includes fully analogue distortion and filter modulation effects and a separate filter overdrive to add aggression and crunch
Powerful modulation section featuring two Envelopes and two LFOs: Two ADSR envelopes for amp, filter, pitch and pulse width modulation alongside two LFOs with waveforms including triangle, sawtooth, square and sample & hold
price 469 euros
nice features !

yep especially when he starts wiggling that filter Fm wow,almost curtis like bite to it
dual gain stageing as well,
and as for roland, they would probably remake the tb303 but with no knobs and just 5 D-Beams,,,lol Acid Wizard |

The bass in my studio sounds massive. Having a sine wave to add and a sub oscillator = monstrous bass sounds...and the top end is nice and buzzy. Not very bright, could need some top end boost to fit in a busy psy-trance mix...not sure. Its brighter than my Phatty anyway.
The VCF oozes character. The FM sounds are very musical.
This could very well be the modern SH-101. But with the knobs outputing high res MIDI data, stereo patches are on the menu.
400.00 GBP = 475.259 EUR
Brilliant.
