Lol, Novation Bass Station from 1993, are you kidding me?

It was the only analog synth with MIDI I had for a short while in the 90's, I did not think it sounded good at all.

It was a cheap(er) option if you didn't have MiniMoog money, but if you had a MiniMoog I doubt you would be shopping for a BassStation. I don't dislike the sound, but I think it is nothing special either. So, if I look at my virtual instrument collection, I'm certainly not looking to get this

I traded a Bassstation in the 90s with a guy for an MS20 and an OSC Oscar. Straight swap. Face to face.

Back then, I gave away my Teisco 110F for free

Tried to run the demo and it tells me the trial period is expired.

Also I wish they'd stop displaying prices without VAT. Plenty of other retailers manage to bake VAT into the displayed price.

Not really what I expected. Had the Bass-Station plugin, but never used it. The V/A/K-Station would have been more interesting for me, I used to own the A-Station (which I really liked the sound of, back then at least). Or even more interesting, the Supernova (I/II)

Note that this is not the same DSP as the old Novation plugin, IIRC.

You mean it might be the same as Bass-Station II? Or something else completely?

I wasn't assuming that, or implying it. Just that there was a VST version before, so it is not like this an emulation never done before. Of course, the Gforce treatment is nice (with all the X-mod stuff), but I think there are much more interesting synths to be emulated and get that treatment.

As I said, with everything we have available today, I'm not shopping for a BassStation plugin.

There are already a whole bunch of sound demos on YT.

The demo don't work at present, times out immediately. Also not buying anything new from Gforce till they fix the VST3 automation in impOSCar3.

Yes, but I'm interested in honest user experiences.
