Sounds really good. The poly stuff was a pleasant surprise. Spot on with the exercise of using one simple synth to make all the sounds for a track. Great learning experience. Nice one sir.
GForce is doing good things. Good that they knew the original designer and collaborated with Novation. Didn’t think I needed another analog synth emulation but this one certainly scores some extra sympathy points.
that VHS intro got me all nostalgic about the music store a block away, I would stop by every time after school and play with the demo gear, until the store got tired of me being all inquisitive without hard cash nor credit... my mom got me a djembe instead
Surprisingly good pads for a bass synth! Showing my age here, but I bought an original BassStation using a student loan in about 96. A few of the knobs are a bit duffed in but it still works! I also got the plugin free due to having one of the SL controllers. I haven't done a direct comparison yet but I immediately loaded it up in VCV and sent it some totally random sequences, which was great fun. My first thought was the low end isn't quite there when you turn the cutoff right down, and also the unison kills the volume, maybe some phase cancellation there? However, from what I remember using the hardware it does sound pretty close, and the extra features like polyphony and fx are great. Certainly very good for a free plugin, and even if you pay for it, seems a fair price. Top demo too, nice one!
something to consider about hi-pass filtering in a synth like this, is the fact the resonance is at the bottom of the sound. meaning, you can accentuate the lowest notes too, if your freq setting is tuned right and perhaps keyboard tracked it can add the right bottom hump for the sound.
Basstations are cool. I remember Carl Craig rocking one live. I had one, paired with the awesomely named Deep Bass Nine. Sounded nice. That, a Roland JX-8P, Sequential Drumtraks, a Mackie mixer and a PC running Cakewalk and Soundforge, with a Turtle Beach Maui soundcard/sampler with 2MB of memory was my first setup.
@MylarMelodies - have you spent time with the Bass Station 2? and/or specifically the kinda Elektron style Trigger Lock AFX Mode? thoughts? does the plug in go for that or would one ape it in the DAW? thanks! amazing vidja as always!
Discovered your channel about 3 days ago through your Moog Studio 3 Video, Now bingewatching the WHOle Thing ! You're super Fun to listen to Mylar ! Have a good day :D
You're making me feel old now. I bought a Basstation rack in 1995 from Andertons. Still have it, it works but cant edit anything on the screen now. Good old days....
Amazing win and I heartily agree with spending the spoils on synths. Would love to have an original but I have a BSII Aphex Edition you can spot in this vid!
Still got my OG BassStation bought in 94, but DCO 1 blew after I plugged the wrong PSU in. I know it's much expanded versus the originals, but do I hanker after an updated VST of it? Not sure, especially at the full price.
My Bass Station survived a quite dramatic car crash on the German Autobahn in 2009 (and the band survived too). Now I feel I should never part with it.
You almost got me! Then I remember that I am complete as I am...I don't need any more soft synths! Great demo but you didn't get me to bite ... this time 🤪
Is the X-env and X-LFO thing directly copied from Norand's Mono? Or is that a widely used term? If the first one: booh! What makes it special on the Norand is that you usually don't get this stuff on hardware, let alone analog. Anyway apart from that, you made amazing sounds with this, as per usual! It really sounds great!
@@mylarmelodies Ah ok! Thanks! Quite a coincidence that it's the exact same thing, lfo/env per knob. But hey what do I know, maybe Norand got it from Gforce:)
@ downloaded it today 👍 free with my fl key registration. Quick question guys I have my original novation serials for bass and v station is it possible to still install the software and activate them as last time I tried it wasn’t possible?
@@_Kloanman_ Afraid not. Our final versions of those plugins were released back in February 2020, and we’ve since wrapped up development support. That said, we’re so grateful for the enthusiasm they received over the years.
Having once owned an impOSCar, GForce are without question the #1 emulation accuracy company....unlike certain companies whose name rhymes with Farturia.
😂 Fair enough - I definitely like Farturia as well I must say, the newer synths especially show how far they've come (eg. Try the new CS-80 vs. the original, it's a different world)

Nice one sir.
I love how everything is right in front of you instead of lots of windows/tabs or menu diving. Seems like it’s totally worth the $50 price tag!
yep the one page thing is a major plus for me.

Brill. You never disappoint. Track you cooked up is a gem !
Thanks m8 x

aka hi-pass work in lower registers too :p
The presets on this thing are MASSIVE. Very inspiring soft synth.
you know you're in for a treat when your Mylar video starts with a history lesson
Seriously
@ 8:30 I had a Bass Station Rack and used to control it from OctaMED on the Amiga, hah!

thems were the dayz!!
Awesome video! And awesome to hear one my patches in such a cool track, thank you.
Nice one, there's some great preset work in this
Beautiful. Very nice job. Well done 🍻

Thanks meit!!!
it’s got those genuine VST2 32-bit harmonics 👍🏻
Love it. I have Super BS rack that I haven’t connected for years. Seems now I don’t need to! Great demo of this plugin!
Looking at the LFOs, would it be possible to do ‘a Hoover’ on this?
You're making me feel old now. I bought a Basstation rack in 1995 from Andertons. Still have it, it works but cant edit anything on the screen now. Good old days....
If you had money to buy a synth in 1995 ... than you are old as fuck!!!
@aleksandero7982 well actually I won £25000 on a scratch card and bought a few synths in 95.

I don’t think so - it’s GForce’s name for just a Env/LFO per knob! Unless I misunderstand Norands implementation!

@@Winterdagen gforce had it on their soft synth releases since the 00s so it would have to be the latter if that is the case.
@ interesting and in that case pretty weird they didn’t bother to come up with their own names. But hey if it’s a common name for it then I get it!
Mint, will you be able to load your old bass station plugin sounds into this new vst ?
Afraid not. This GForce plug-in is very different to the plug-in that we previously released.

The sound lacks some analogue magic.
